In the news, Israel still genociding, Iran Peace Deal thwarted, Trumps newly painted swamp in front of the White House, there was the Europeans rejection of Palantir, Microsoft, and coming up with their own payment system (no longer US based MC/Visa)...
So - Europe at least is getting their shit together, and fast, the rise of the Middle Powers so to speak...
And there's the good-news videos of Ukraine hitting Russian Oilfields and hard, at the end of all this they're going to end up with more territory than they started with...
Wednesday I made Cannelloni. I don't know why; random, found some Cannelloni noodles aging in my cupboard, thought to use them up. And never have I put more effort into a meal to less effect. In the end, it was exactly what it was supposed to be, only I don't think I'm a Cannelloni fan, and having to mix, stuff the filling, make the sauce, well, - a lot of work when I could have cooked up an infinitely superior bowl of pasta in 10 minutes.
Wednesday as well I woke up bunged thoroughly up, thick neon yellow mucus, blowing my nose every 5 minutes, I'm thinking that it's the CBD working on reducing my inflammation...
Thursday morning and I wake up greatly improved, a friend drops off a Mullein tincture to clear my lungs, funny thing is she drops it off, does't say anything about what it is; yet all day my Facebook is filled up with videos telling me I'm using it wrong...
How is this possible?
And, to make matters worse I got a live one with my CBD gummies, and I'm high first thing in the morning, which is not how I like to wake up. I'm pretty sure all the "numbers" on the front - THC, CBD, they're just estimates, I have a hard time believing any of this stuff comes from a competent facility...
And yesterday, busy on the patio at work, I'm not ready for this, not at all...
The highlight of the week - so far - and it's a dark highlight, I shouldn't laugh but there's a video out of Brazil of a couple of guys carrying a young woman over their heads to a bridge and throwing her off. Then the camera pans down to the bungee cord - unsecured at either end, and the guys just looking over in disbelief as they realize what they just did.
It's not funny, and their comical stupidity cost their customer her life, but - well, dark humour makes sense of dark times.
Which takes us to today, far too hot outside, cool in the library, time to find some lunch, probably a veggie wrap, as I'm overdue for some leafy produce...
