You Know That Feeling of Relief You Get When You Wake Up From A Nightmare...

...and suddenly realize it wasn't real?

That's the feeling I get these days when I have NEWS playing on the TV in the background, and the newscaster says

"..let me stop you there, so we can go to the President, who is making remarks..."

I instinctively cringe, and think "ugh...NOW what?"

And I look, expecting to see an overgrown schoolyard bully in a baggy blue suit, shouting raspy insults at reporters over the screaming of helicopter rotors.

And then Biden appears, behind the Resolute desk, delivering calm, coherent remarks, in complete sentences.

I get that feeling...

1. I'm still not used to Biden being in the WH.

I get a momentary dread when there is breaking news from the WH.

2. Same here.

3. I'm still getting use to the phrase, President Biden

But every time I hear it, a big smile shows up on my face.

4. I'm sleeping much better...

And discovered there are things going on in my world that don't include being glued to the news with a sense of terminal dread.

I even laughed at a silly thing the cat did yesterday.


It's getting a little better every day.

5. " ugh. . . NOW what?"

Pretty much sums up my inner monologue for the past four years. After January 6, I could not relax. I checked different news sources constantly expecting another awful development.

I'm really not exactly all right now. I love having Biden and Harris is charge with Bernie and AOC and others speaking up and leading the way, but I don't truly trust anything right now.

Not sure how I'm going to get past this. Coverage of the First Dogs kind of helps.
