Nothing feels right
There's something in the air called objectivity.
There's something in the air like electricity.
There's something in the air, and it's in the air, the air.
There's something in the air that's pure silliness.
There's something in the air that you can't resist.
There's something in the air, and it's in the air,
And you can't get it out of the air.
- "Es Liegt in der Luft" (There's something in the air) (1928)
Getting emotional over Healthcare
"It was a surprisingly emotional phone call. I realized later that part of my weepiness was sentimentality – the saying goodbye to a trusted doctor, and to my own days as a young mother – the acknowledgment that Buster is a grown fellow, now. But there is a fearfulness there, too, on my part; we stare at a list of “approved” names in a book and step out into a great unknown, with our choices already narrowed-down for us and our options limited. Beyond sentiment, I think the lump in my throat was partly about those limits, that ever-narrowing field of choices and how it portends a narrowing of our overall liberties, here in Middle-Class America.
Nothing feels right."

I feel very weird today, like I am living in a dream state.
