A New Normalization

I hate what the country is likely to become when it was all so, so preventable. But once you've dumbed down a population it takes a long, long time to smarten them up again. I don't think I'll see that re-enlightenment in my lifetime, so I'll just have to hope I can insulate myself from the stupid as long as possible. I'm working on my work goals for the next fiscal year, and above all I'm prioritizing my health and well being. Without that, none of the rest matters. I'm currently about finding joy in the small things: a task well done, a touch from Robin, possibly a cat or two in my future. I'm generally a positive, upbeat person and I don't want to deny myself moments of happiness.
