Still fairly discouraged; have hit the point of reflecting that as much as I loved fairy stories as a kid and still love things like movies or shows or books where the "good guys" win in the end (and that they're not overly-complicatedly-good, aka "problematic"), maybe we shouldn't be exposed to them. Because then we begin to expect that good will be rewarded or at least wrongdoing will see consequences of that, and it doesn't feel like that right now.
In the middle, currently, of some dissention around me about a decision that needs to be made. I see what I think should happen but other people want not to "settle" (which means more work for everyone, and more insecurity, and maybe some people getting burned out and quitting). And I hate it all. I hate how hard everything seems to be.
Sorry. Ice cream machine broken right now.
Maybe next week will be better, which is something I've said roughly every week since mid 2019.
Still, I would like to see some evidence that doing the "right" thing gets you something other than punishment, and that sometimes, being selfish comes back to bite you. But I don't see a lot of that in the world now.
Anyway, back to knitting I guess, it's the ONLY thing I have control over
"The world rewards might" claims a slimy character just now on "Elsbeth," and though it'll probably work out that he pays (and it seems he just did), still.....don't see much of that in the real world, you just see that "might gets rewarded" I wish I weren't so discouraged, but....it's been a long semester; 2025 has been decades long so far.

So the Elsbeth resolution was NOT satisfying to her or her captain AT ALL. I'm interested in how this will play out, including the trial of the shooter
