Folks may perceive I am dismissing the heartbreak of the election outcome too readily.
I am not. I am deeply upset by events, the betrayal of the news media, the sale of our nation to a few billionaires. I’m angry that countless people will suffer more losses of freedom and safety. I’m scared.
So I am in a “both/and” mindset. This is horrible AND I am living the best I can right now. People I love are fading. I don’t want to miss today. I choose to live and love. No surrender.
Well, shit. I just answered the door to accept a package.....

Nope, my husband has to work. And unfortunately, so does my dental hygienist.
@kaehlys
I’m sorry for your loss. 💔
ALERT PA PEOPLE:
Dem party needs volunteers to do vote curing, both in person and remotely immediately. The deadline for curing is Tuesday.
@Dogofalltrees
The only rational explanation I can think of is this: The 2020 election was many American’s first access to mail-in voting, because the pandemic made it necessary. People who didn’t normally go to the polls could suddenly vote from home. I don’t
think it was as widely available this time around.

JJ is literally half the size of our previous doggo, but he finds ways to take up all the covers. 😁

Wow, I wish I was blessed with John Meacham’s life.

Yeah, Baldur’s Gate is her favorite game. She’s my easiest niece to shop for. 😁
To anyone who needs to hear it:
Don't break your sobriety over these assholes.
If you did, it's OK. You can choose it again right now.
Keep taking your meds. It's important to stay well. If they aren't working as well as usual, check in with your doctor. If things are spinning out, talk to a professional.
Persist.
It's the greatest act of revolution we have.
@LaurelGreen
That’s so sad. Thank you for being there for your friend.

Yes, but forcing myself to so I don’t get a migraine.
I think I might take some time today to read Pema Chodron’s When Things Fall Apart. “How can we live our lives when everything seems to fall apart - when we are continually overcome by fear, anxiety, and pain?”

You know, I thought JJ could sense my mood and was being extra cuddly. But no, he only wanted the tacky old stash-buster I crocheted a decade ago. 😆

Oh no. I’m sorry.
