My Mind is a Strange Place

This morning, i was wide awake at 2 am. I stayed in bed until almost 3 before i gave up. I got up, made some coffee, grabbed my headphones, and started plugging away at my budget. I put the clean dishes away. It's now almost 5am. Today doesn't look like a difficult day. My youngest gets to go back to school after a week off. His teachers had a COVID outbreak. Here we are, two and a half years later, and it's not cured or even acknowledged anymore. Now, we just live with it. Humanity is disgusting.

Meanwhile, the tourists keep coming, and everyone in charge wants the money more than the ethical high ground. Life goes on, and keeping the kids in school will probably be the last thing on our minds inside a year or two. More like we need a place to live and the money to afford it.
