What else…?

What else…?

I think I need to practice wearing contacts on my day off. I’m stressing with the timing of trying to get contacts on before a work shift! I just put on some BB cream — I think I look cute today. But now it’s too late to put on the contacts?

Why is it too late?

I don’t know! Because I already have BB cream on?!?!

You’re still really scared of it…

Yes!!!

I need to practice… maybe this is my progress? I take one step forwards, two steps back…

I need time… I need to do it in my time… whatever it is that I’m learning… otherwise I’m super stressed…

You gotta take your time…

Yeah… ummm… I think I will practice wearing contacts on my days off. And if I need to nap, then I need to nap and I take them off.

Uhuh…

Otherwise I can’t build up the practice to feel confident to put them on quickly before a work shift!

(Nodding)… (smiles)…

Is this funny?

It’s cute… (smiling)…

Sigh…

Anyway…

Are you still watching the YouTube psychic?

Yes…

I think she is Gen X/Boomer… in between Gen X and Boomer… she’s slightly younger than my parents…

Oh I see… And she’s the one with the Handmaid’s Tale warning?

Oh yes… she was very sensitive about that… I didn’t see any MALE psychics go straight to THAT POINT — she was on it

I’m just gonna paraphrase and it’s not a direct quote… but she was basically warning and saying:

Ultimately, they don’t care about the economy.

Ultimately, they want THE HANDMAID’S TALE.

That’s what they want!!!

Sigh — do you believe her?

I don’t know… but I don’t take that warning lightly…

Hmmm…

I’m not sure if… the rest of the world wants that though…

Sigh… I can’t even type out some of my thoughts right now… I’ll have to send it to you telepathically… ***sending*** — did you get it?

LOL — no?!?!?!!

Well, my love… we’ll have to talk about it in real life one day because I don’t feel like typing it out.

Okay… (more sighing)…

Yeah? See?!?! Now you know why I’m SIGHING all the time when I watch the news!!!

LOLOLOLOLOLOL… yeah… (sighs)…

Imagine if… we woke up tomorrow and the Handmaid’s Tale is our reality? And I wasn’t allowed to marry you?

LOL… THAT. SUCKS!!! — Didn’t we already live that reality?!

Ummm… but another version… now… 2025… it just happened? Again? Just as suddenly?!

FUCK…

What would you do?

(Shaking his head)… you don’t wanna know…

What do you mean?!?!?!?!

I would — break into wherever they’ve kept you — KIDNAP YOU so that you RUN AWAY WITH ME — and we’re just nomads, roaming the world, we’ll go off grid. I won’t be famous anymore. I’ll cash out. We’ll live on my cash. Stored in a briefcase. We can just do that for the rest of our lives.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH……………. wow!!!!

Hmmm… interesting…

Yeah? You like that? That’s our Plan Z?

If the Handmaid’s Tale becomes the global reality… the new Dystopia…

Yeah. Okay. So we have our Plan Z.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL….

It’s not funny. I’m getting ready…!!! JUST IN CASE.

(hahahahahahhahahaahaha)… oh dear…………………..

Would we grow to resent each other? Just living on the road? Runaways?

Ohhhh darling — I THINK WE’LL HAVE THE TIME OF OUR LIVES!!!

I THINK IT WILL BE MORE FUN THAN WHAT WE’RE BOTH EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW IN OUR REGULAR JOBS AND DAILY LIVES!!!

LOL… yeah… maybe…

Let’s just do it anyway! Let’s QUIT! Let’s just GO!!!

Hahahahahahahahhaha…

I don’t think our parents will be very happy about that… or other friends and extended family? They’ll be so worried about us…

Oh — them — I forgot about them…

LOLOLOLOLOL…

Anyway… maybe they’ll want to come with us? We’ll round up all our close friends and family and set up our own village!

Then we would still need DEFENCE — we would still need to train our own defence team? It doesn’t make sense to do that to our own friends and family?

Hmmm…

Also — what if your cash becomes worthless?

Oh… now you’re twisting it…

It’s a new Dystopian reality… it’s very possible the cash is worthless. If you cashed it all out instead of converting it to crypto? How will we live?!

Oh… I have to convert it to Crypto?!?!?!

IF THEY HAVE GONE CRAZY — AND TURNED IT INTO A CRYPTO-BASED HANDMAID’S TALE ECONOMY?!?!?!?!?!

Ohhhhh… geez…. hmm… let me re-think this….

LOL………………

NAH — THEN I WILL BUY YOU FROM WHOEVER IT IS.

Omg!!!!!!!!!

DO YOU SEE HOW THIS SUCKS FOR ALL WOMEN?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Like — WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?! — YOU’RE JUST BUYING WOMEN LIKE ACCESSORIES?!?!?!?!?!? TRADING WITH CRYPTO?!?!?!?!!? WHICH WIFE YOU’RE MARRYING?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?

(LOLOLOLOLOLOL) — I know I’m probably not allowed to laugh at this too much… (shy….)

NO!!! YOU ARE NOT!!!

THIS IS A HORRIBLE DYSTOPIAN REALITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Chuckles)…………… hmmmm………….. (smirk)

You’re not allowed to buy me even if the government changes to be Handmaid’s Tale realities…

Oh?!?!

NO — OMG!!!

I CAN’T BE BOUGHT!!!!

Oh?!?!?!

NO!!!!!!!

I HAVE MY OWN SOUL.

Hmm… I know….

(Still shaking her head)……………

Babe — what if it happens the OTHER WAY around?!?!?!

What?

What if the women fight the men and then the women win, and then it’s a new MATRIARCHY?!?!!

So what?! The women aren’t going to make your lives miserable!

HOW do YOU know?!?!?!?!?!!?!

(Scoffs!) — IT IS EXTREMELY UNLIKELY — THAT A NEW WORLD ORDER BASED ON FEMALE AUTHORITY IS GOING TO RESULT IN MALE INEQUALITY.

HOWWWWW DO YOU KNOWWWW THAT?!?!?!?!?!

Fine! I don’t! But I am ASSUMING — it would not be… that way…

(Chuckles)…

Anyway, if that happens, I’ll have to be your Sugar Mama…

Oooh yeah?!?! (Raising eyebrows)…

Yes because you won’t have any capacity for earning money. I’ll be the breadwinner. I’ll go out, do whatever the ladies need me to do in our new society — come home. You’ve got our dinner ready… you’ve fed and bathed the babies…

Oh? We have babies?

OF COURSE! MY LOVE — WE’LL HAVE THREE BABIES — BECAUSE I WANT THEM AND I’M THE MATRIARCH OF THE FAMILY.

(LOL)… okay… we have three babies…

And our BABIES — will grow up expecting the WOMAN to be in LEADERSHIP.

Ahh — I see…

Why can’t we just find an equilibrium?

Hmm… I think “we” can — you and me? — but the rest of the world?! (shrugs shoulders)…

Sigh… (smiling)… xoxoxoxxx
