Too Sleepy to Think of a Title
Supreme Court "justice" Ruth Bader Ginsberg is dead. While many on the left are mourning her passing, I can barely restrain myself from saying, "Finally." Not that I wish death on anyone, except perhaps George Soros, but Ruth Bader Ginsberg was one of the worst left-wing activists to ever sit on the bench, and she clung to her position long past the time she should have retired. I could go into her record of bad, even unconstitutional decisions, but suffice to say, while I won't be celebrating I won't be mourning either. My only worry is unless Mitch McConnell is a bald-faced partisan hypocrite, the Senate won't allow a new justice to be appointed til after the 2020 election. Which means the anti-American socialists of the "Democrat" party might have a chance to appoint another left-wing activist in judges robes to the Supreme Court.
I know I don't normally go into politics here, but I was just hit with the news before I went to bed. Unfortunately my wife, who not being autistic is not as well versed in things political as I, was telling me that Rose Ginsberg had died. I of course had no idea who she was talking about until she told me she was on the Supreme Court. Only then did I comprehend. As if the 2020 election isn't shaping up to be tumultuous enough, with Marxists rioting in the streets, egged on by Democrat politicians, and the Democrats using Covid as cover to blatantly foist massive voter fraud on the American people. Now there's a vacancy on the high court to be fought over, unless, as I said, Mitch McConnell is a bald-faced partisan hypocrite, which being a politician is a distinct possibility.
Some may wonder why I'm writing this at 4:30 am local time. Well nature's alarm clock woke me from a particularly disturbing dream (about being back in the army) partially inspired by an episode of M*A*S*H I watched earlier. For some reason I am wide awake at the moment, though I'm sure I will be getting sleepy before too long. Since I can do it in the dark and not disturb my wife, who needs to sleep, and since I haven't posted since July I figured now we would be a good time to update my journal.
In my last posting here I mentioned that I had still laid Pathfinder aside, at that point in favor of the superhero themed Champions. A week after the start of August I switched back to Pathfinder. I have been working on my fourth adventure pretty exclusively until tonight. I'm about halfway finished with part three. My group which reconvened in early September finally completed adventure two. I will never create a dungeon that large again. Last weekend the party was doing downtime activities, and will continue this weekend though I will start introducing elements of adventure three into the mix. Namely the risen (un)dead and the virulent plague that is sweeping the community. It just occurred to me that having a semimagical disease sweeping the community in this time of pandemic may hit a little close to home. In my defense this aspect of adventure three was planned long before Covid-19 became the problem that it is. It's too late to change that aspect of the adventure, even if I wanted to retool the adventure. The plague provides backdrop and urgency to the party's mission, and finding some other way to do so with the adventure about to start would be extremely difficult. If anyone says anything I'll just tell them this adventure was finished months before Covid.
I also looked at my campaign's World Anvil wiki for the first time since May yesterday. It took a while because my laptop was being obstinate, taking forever to start and then lagging badly at first. I finally got it going only to discover that the World Anvil site had changed. I finally got that figured out, determined where I had left off, and began writing then it was dinner time. I did devote almost an hour to working on it before I went to bed, so I did get more done though I didn't finish the entry as I'd hoped. Still now that I've started I should be able to start working regularly on my wiki now.
I had planned to drive for Uber to make some money. I was all signed up and ready to start when Cha nixed my plans. She is too worried about me catching Covid and doesn't want me driving for Uber. She's rather I just remain a househusband for now. While I admit I was looking forward to having some income and being able to clear some of my Amazon wish list, I do work fairly hard around the house, doing laundry and cleaning and such. Wouldn't mind not driving. Cha has promised me $20 a month to purchase books, so we'll see. Though I was hoping to have a little extra to spend on things like Chinese buffet, and Star Trek Fleet Command.
Cha recent did a presentation on ESL (English as a Second Language) that went over well. In fact, if I understand correctly, the Texas Workforce Commission is looking to adopt her proposals state wide. Quite an accomplishment for my wonderful wife. I'm not sure about the details of her presentation, but I know it involved tailoring ESL classes for professionals who immigrate from other countries, so they can work in their old profession in their new country. Who knows if it works in Texas, they may adopt it in other states.
Cha has gotten more comfortable with Charlotte, and as I predicted even picks her up and holds her now. She even let's Charlotte sleep with us. Charlotte usually snoozes on the bench at the foot of our bed when Cha is here. Since havingvher spayed she no longer tries to bolt outside everytime the door is opened. She does how ed very want to look outside, though the last time I took her for a walk she quickly wanted to return inside. She's so cute. A couple of times now, while lying in bed I've seen her jump on the bed with a toy and start playing with it.
Well I've been working on this post for nearly an hour and my tablet is low on juice. I'm going to post this and go back to sleep.
