although the nightmare continues, I plan on joining the local Democratic Party group and help fight this travesty.

I’m fine for a few seconds until I remember we live in a fascist state now.

Trying to read just enough news to stay informed but not so much so as to get really depressed and anxious. My TV is never on during the day. I get my news from scanning DU.

Trying to stay busy helps. Taking care of our families and our fur babies helps. Maybe once the weather breaks, we can get outside more, and that helps a lot.

Give your kidcats an extra scritch for me, Siwsan.

PTSD family member in a couple times adjusting meds. Keeping in close touch.

Peter Gabriel has music that speaks to me "Signal to Noise" is where I think we are. e.g. We signal. media and maggots try to change the tune to just listen to their noise. Media take the bait and broadcast it, much to the delight of the devilish maggots. So no news for me. I no longer go to MSNBC because I don't need to hear the same few topics rehashed from a half dozen shows.

I try to understand the animals and plants both inside and outside my abode as it gives me peace. I am back to doing my daily exercises, so the good vibes are flowing again.

My cats help too. One is a scaredy cat, so I never correct her such as when she rips the lining out of my coat. The other is opposite, will wait for foot massage on belly, twisting and turning and making cute animal sounds.

I wish you the best and hope it works out well for you!

Lawrence O’Donnell, and Stephanie Rhule. Rachael is a tad depressing for me. Caught the last segment of Velshi over the weekend about the banning of The Grapes of Wrath. I’ll also check out Katie Phang. I do not linger. Spend only a minute or two. The sad truth is we cannot hide from our reality and we have four years to go. One hope is that the midterms bring some relief. The other hope is best left unsaid but I never give up hoping.

I look forward to your postings and have a surge of happiness when Lady Carys pops out from her Ivory Tower.

Ready to take my bottle of Xanax and go lie out in the snow. For some reason every dr canceled except assholes and he's expecting me to drive him in dangerous weather's. We've been screaming. I'm watching the news for some reason. I'm trying to arrange medical transport and pay for it and he's arguing w me. I fucking hate it her e. I hate snow and i hate this miserable place

I’m busy and moving around…chores and projects fill my time. I have a border collie that is a perpetual motion machine so I guess I am one too. She takes trazedone at night!! Maybe my vet needs to medicate me too.

I haven’t turned on tv news since election night and I don’t plan to change that. My overactive brain kicks in at night and sleep is elusive.

I think I will feel more hopeful in the spring when I can get outside and see things greening up and get my garden planted.

I hope you will be okay, I hope all of us will be.

I am struggling a bit. Have asshole relatives gloating about the election win and how people like me will be hurt.

I am not personally harmed…yet…but I feel sick for those who are harmed.

I am afraid of the future and wish we would move out of the country, but Dave says “no.”

I’m trying to contain my worries to a certain amount of time per day and then close the door and do art, baking, cooking, daydreaming about better days.

I guess I’m hanging in there.
