Morning:

• Snooze my alarm at least 3 times.
• Finally wake up, check for notifications and end up scrolling for 15 minutes.
• try to get out of bed but instead snuggle my dog for as long as possible or until she needs to be let outside.
• drink whatever water I have leftover on my bedside table
• get up finally, pee, brush my teeth, wash my face, put on deodorant, do my hair & get dressed
• make a coffee
• leave for work. (If I don’t work, skip steps one and two, and postpone some of step 4 for later)

Evening:

• pour a glass of water for the middle of the night when I get thirsty.
• let the dog out to pee.
• go pee, brush my teeth, wash my face, get undressed.
• grab a handful of kibbles and give my dog brushes while giving her snacks.
• put in lip balm and hand lotion.
• play all the wordle games before midnight
• scroll for a while until I decide I’m tired.
• turn off the light.
• put on an audiobook for 15 minutes and hope I’m asleep before then.

I don’t know any personally, or if I do I haven’t asked them about it, but there was a guy on a CBC/npr call in show a few weeks back who thought becoming the 51st state would be great, because he can’t currently get healthcare for his kids.

Um…

So delusional as ever, I’d say.

We’ve become a society of instant gratification, to the point where having to wait a week for an online delivery feels like a hardship!

I dont know the solution either. As individuals we can try to not chose the “easy” over the “good”, allow ourselves a little bit of discomfort for the better good. Learn to live a little bit slower. I don’t know how to translate that to a whole society.

Just my $0.02 to add, I guess.

I’d visit Greece before the US even without a trade war!

…

Are we still doing “phrasing”?

I wanted to scroll away but I was frozen in a bizarre mix of horror and incredulity.

I believe he did promise this before he was elected as head of the liberal party.

Edit: Yes he did

I am loving her firm, no nonsense attitude.
