My natural bend is to be a pessimistic realist. There are lots I could say about the incoming administration, but to intentionally deny the joy of knowing 45& #39;s days as our torturer are ending? That& #39;s just an asshole move.

Do you like living like this? I don& #39;t.

45 is wicked, not garden variety politician awful. He& #39;s otherworldly wicked.

Yes, I& #39;m jubilant about his defeat. May be spend his last days feeling the misery he has inflicted upon millions.

I want to see loved ones without fear, I want my kid& #39;s last years of high school to not be spent behind a screen.

I want to see my staff again, and not on Zoom.

I want to kill time with a coffee and be able to sit inside the coffee spot,without thinking I& #39;ll die.

No, our deep structural issues won& #39;t be solved, that& #39;s long haul work. But maybe if we can run errands without fear of illness, we can go deeper into the structural work.

Life in a pandemic without competent leadership is tiring.

So yeah, I& #39;m happy at the hope of change.
