It's strange how fast things can go from absolute panic and horror and stress to a fair impersonation of normalcy. On more levels than I can count

I don't know. I think the more that we feel things are normal, the more apt we are to become complacent and let our guard down.

And then it will happen all over again.

I think that the main problem we find ourselves under is not that we believe that we are returning to the previous state of normalcy, but rather that we're beginning to take our current state of siege as 'normal.'

Which might lead to paranoia, rather than complacency. I think, probably.

But, really, I'm not sure which idea I like more or, more to the point, less. The idea of being remembering that we're under siege or the idea of forgetting it. I don't know.

It's weird.

I think I'd rather have paranoia than complaceny. There appears to be less chance of death that way.

Probably not much of one, but I think we should take what we can get at this point.

I don't like feeling that living under seige is normal either. But there doesn't appear to be anything we can do about it, short of running away to New Zealand or something.

Would you fancy living in New Zealand?

Less a chance of death due to being attacked, of course, probably. More of a chance of death in some stupid way, such running from the cat that just overturned your trash bins and ended up on the railroad tracks.

And, yes, we likely should. Take the best we can get and...hope for the best, I suppose.

I'm afraid I might be starting to find it normal. Living under seige, I mean. That's the problem.

And I honestly have no idea. Does New Zealand have koalas?
