Craziness in the world

It’s Friday. I’m feeling rested and looking forward to a quiet weekend with my son. The first week at home was a success and luckily has gone according to plan. The sleep has been manageable which came as a bit of a surprise. I’ve even had a chance to get a lot of work done.

I’ve been able to drown out most of the world news so I can focus on the important things right now. That’s been a blessing given everything going on. Unfortunately, I got caught peeking at the news this morning on Trump’s cabinet picks and I wish I hadn’t.

I really hope Trump’s presidency works out and he surprises me. I had that same hope in 2016 but unfortunately it didn’t come true. I’m hoping the years of experience may have led him to learn something.

I’m not in disagreement with everything Trump says. I do believe the government is likely bloated and there could be a lot of work to be done to become more efficient. I also think that we could use a change in pace in a lot of these cabinet positions.

What we’re seeing now though is a cabinet of inexperienced individuals and conspiracy theorists at best. This is downright dangerous. Let’s all pray that the senate does their job and keeps Trump in check or we’re all in for a shitshow.
