My therapist just called to check on me. He also advised I not watch any of the 'events' tomorrow
Of course I had zero plans to do that, anyway.
I really lucked out with this therapist.
I plan on spending tomorrow in front of a blazing fireplace, snuggling with the kid cats, watching something Welsh and possibly sipping on some lovely single malt Penderyn.
I've also decided to declare my property to be Sovereign and it will be called 'Gwlad y Cathod a'r Dreigiau' (The land of Cats and Dragons). I'm also working on a crest. I'm going to slightly alter the existing, authenticated family crest and replace the Rooks with Cats and a Dragon.
I will remain a tax paying citizen, though. I'm not that far around the bend. I just need someplace I can consider to be a safe spot.

I love the idea of soverign place... I will cultivate that one as well! 
My own personal space is still overrun by my son and gf/baby. So tomorrow is a school day for me anyway. I'll be studying the Native American religions of the Southwest in comparison to the Amazon. And ironically (or not?) my Cultural Death & Dying class is having us do an advanced directive, write our own Obit and make a basic will. Again, ironically, I was the Obit writer for my local paper when I was a reporter back in the late 90s...
At least I have taken the shift in home life to make my room a real sanctuary. Even got a new desk in here and I'm gonna shop for another bookshelf too. Got my altar and ancestor space/wealth corner all decked out for the season. I keep my candles lit often.
Peace amidst the chaos, love. It's all we can do while the rest of it crumbles... We somehow signed up to be here at this time. So I'll use my space (like your soverign land) to bless the Earth in what little way I can...
I think my new sign off line just came to me this morning... "...'till the lights go out" 
The Land of Cats and Dragons sounds like an amazing and magical place to live! Would love to see the crest when it's finished. 
For those of us who don't know Welsh, could you please tell us how to pronounce "Gwlad y Cathod a'r Dreigiau"? The spelling conventions of that language always throw me for a loop.
I plan to spend much of tomorrow listening to some of my favorite non-political podcasts. Might also watch some movies. ANYTHING but the Inauguration of the Orange Hellbeast!
P.S. Your therapist sounds like a treasure!
He sounds like a worthwhile therapist. I go on Tuesday. Hope it helps me feel better, even just a little.
All I feel is a deep, burning anger and disgust. In addition, my 'inner' therapist has told me that Trump's toxicity is something to avoid at all costs.
You're on the right path, Siwsan.
