Moth and Myth

My 2016 was actually pretty decent, considering all things!

As far as Trump is concerned, when he kept on beating all the Republicans in March, I kind of figured that Trump would end up being the president. I mean, if he could steamroll Republican after Republican that you barely knew who seemed vaguely likable, there was no way that Hilary Clinton — a career politician who was very unpopular and perceived as hugely dishonest — was going to win the general election. Even to a guy like Donald Trump. So I sulked about Trump’s eventual presidency for a couple of weeks months and gradually decided that it was a good thing that there were limitations to executive power and checks and balances and all that cool stuff. Then, I did my best to enjoy the reality show which was the election.

AND BOY, WHAT A RIDE.

Anyway! 2017! Here’s hoping that everyone has a happy new year!

So! An update, since it’s been a while:

• I’m still very much pregnant.
• I’m still having fun running waddling around with a toddler.
• And this US election season continues to amaze and astonish and terrify me.

Still! Life is good!

I have to say… I’m not very thrilled with any of the candidates out there right now. Especially not with any of the leading candidates so far. Here’s hoping that the debates will present several worthy contenders…
