Shutdown Diary: Day 2


I folded all my laundry this morning for the first time in at least two months. Probably three. I also ate way too much chocolate cake and went for a run at lunchtime (not the best decision I've ever made, given the unseasonably warm weather we've been having). My friend Emma invited me over to hang out with her and her kids for while, so I did. We spent a lot of time talking about how ridiculous the shutdown is generally, how ridiculous Congressional entrenchment is getting on both sides, and how absurd the blame game is getting. Doesn't matter who's at fault, what matters is finding a solution which is going to be made MUCH more difficult if you keep publicly name calling. Just saying. I'm also kind of annoyed that right now the only thing on the table is a continuing resolution. Yes, I'd like to get back to work as soon as possible, but I'd also like to not have to face this situation every three months so maybe let's pass a real budget or something. Anyway, finished out the day at my volunteer gig, so I feel like I at least made a contribution to society today.
