36. Pain is truly hard to accept!

I can’t do anything I used to be able to do but on the other hand when I find the comfort zone I can get in my armchair I’m very grateful for the small things that enable me to forget the pain and discomfort. My cat keeps me a lot of company and seems to enjoy curling up on the ottoman next to my feet. I count my blessings because I can create some artwork, read to my heart’s content and binge watch movies and shows of interest.

As a matter of fact yesterday I watched How to become a Tyrant on Netflix which is an excellent limited series about a fictional handbook on how to become a tyrant. It uses Trump’s infamous statement that he alone can fix it and throughout, even though it doesn’t mention Trump’s name you constantly are reminded of him.

It’s a limited series with each program dedicated to a different 20th and 21st Century dictator we know so well. It’s narrated by Peter Drinklage of Game of Throne fame who does an excellent job. There is a lot of very interesting and rare information about each dictator. I will finish watching it today.

We missed out on a Dictatorship by a hair. I really recommend watching it.
