My Recap of 2024
We’ve been through a lot this year…
As we wrap up 2024, a year that was quite tumultuous for the world (as well as being personally challenging) I thought I’d do a commentary wrap-up.
Are you ready? Here we go…
The Election
I stopped working on my home improvement projects in autumn because I assumed the election would reinstate a sexual predator as president. (Why was he even allowed to participate in the election after his conviction? Seriously, can someone from his party please explain that to me?) Naturally, I assumed I’d have to start planning to leave the country, so why spend any more money on my home improvements?
However, on the day of the election, I realized that if I wanted to leave before the new administration took power, I should have been planning that months earlier. And not only that, but in a world where the extreme right is taking power everywhere we turn, where would I go?
And so I found myself at Home Depot, buying gallons of paint because suddenly, all I cared about was painting my garage and having one last beautiful holiday before the last peaceful transfer of power in the United States.
Like many others, I’m living it up, enjoying the life we’ve had, for the last few weeks that we have it.
