Help: distraction from the world today… now?
Howdy, fellow Portlandians!
Planes are flying into helicopters, our nation is being led by incompetent fascists, the sun selectively appears, I’m living through a slow rolling divorce, need a job, and have no substantive friends to hug it out with.
It’s normally manageable, but today it’s not.
I could really use a distraction and suggestions would be great.
Last time, I drove out to Cannon Beach.
Ideas?
Update: Thank you all so much for your many, fantastic suggestions. I got more unfortuate news after reading the first round of responses, and got so mad I got stoned and started cleaning — something I picked-up during my marriage.
Got my workout ready for tomorrow; figured my plan for dinner tonight. I spent most of the day boxing their clothes, sorting their unopened packages, cleaning their bathroom — which I imagine is why they decided to up and move out: so they didn't have to clean it... I'll be scubbing that tiled shower floor for days.
This was something I really needed to do to help me move on, but I imagine I'll have more days like this here and there. When that happens, I'm thankful to have this post I can direct myself back to this post.
Thanks to a wonderful community of humans looking forward to mid-April!
Cheers!
