jdmkleinWell, now, I just learned something. My computer is sitting one degree off level. For the longest time, I have felt something not quite right with the monitor. Now I know.
I have always been sensitive to my surroundings. When we first saw this apartment, I could tell there was a change in the floor between the living room and the hallway. I lost my balance going from the LR to the bedrooms. There is a definite dip as if part of the buildinng has settled' It has. After living here for five years, I am used to the dip, but every once in a while, it trips me up.
I get momentary dizziness when I see a building that is not set square on the property. Some homes out in the country are built to catch the morning and evening sun. They shake up my world.
When Mother and Sarah moved to the Hawthorne house, I couldn't find my way out of the neighborhood for weeks because we came in from a direction I wasn't expecting. I knew that neighborhood, but my arrival was not from the direction I expected. I got turned around.
Going into a house or any building that does not meet my expected blueprint can make me physically ill. I get sick to my stomach when I walk through the doorway into a room that, in my mind, shouldn't be there. Weird, I know.
But enough about me.
Or more, maybe.
The things I hear in the news are alarming. Trump, in my mind, is a crazy, unreliable, president who is leading the US and perhaps the rest of the world into total annihilation with his antics towards Iran. The mere thought of his being willing to destroy historical sites that are millennia old saddens me. Sites like the Tomb of Daniel, and the Gardens in Iran that are thought to be the last Gardens of Eden on earth, and others I cannot remember makes me sad to my soul. These sites have survived all this time for a reason. Should Trump bomb all 52 as he has promised to do, the world will be a much uglier place.
If he bombs those sites in Iran, which places will the Iranians bomb in retaliation? The loss of lives. The loss of history. I am fearful.
This has taken quite a bit of time to spit out into words. My 15 minutes are up, and I no longer want to write. I have put myself in a funk. 422
