I still feel utterly gutted. I'm smack in the middle of one of the reddest counties in PA, and I can't deal with the gloating. If I tried to confront it all, I'd get nothing else done, and my family's restaurant would go out of business. My father said last night, "Fuck them. We have no more friends in this town. Just customers. We'll take their money happily and spend it on things they'd hate."

I'm so worried for my sister. She's going to lose her health insurance, and I've already had a hard enough time convincing her to get shit taken care of.

Your sister is mine, I see. On both counts.

I'm so sorry. With everything with my dad I've spent a LOT of time in rural WI recently and it's depressing as fuck, but at least I don't much have to interact with people there. Hugs to your whole family.

I'm so sorry, Maria, but I kind of love your dad right now.

I keep thinking the shock will wear off, and I'll feel better. I just keep thinking that ltc will be 5 by the next election. The first president she'll remember will be Trump. The thought makes me ill.

Anyone currently on Obamacare should still register for it for 2017. No one knows what's going to happen or when.

I've lost steam. I put away some clothes and ate and watched Conviction. Man, I wish that show were better. Should just rewatch Agent Carter.

My left jaw and shoulder are killing me; the pain has been alternating sides for about a week. I know I need to go to yoga but my brain just wants to lie on the floor. Regardless I have to run errands.

My roommate and I are rearranging the living rm furniture tonight and putting together some lockers for storage, so that should be good.

You are already doing corpse pose. Yoga, done.

She is, but she's preparing for worst-case scenario. One good thing to come out of this shitshow is that she is fired up to do something now. She's always been a liberal (slightly to the right of me), but outside of talking to people she's never been moved to action. Now she's all burn the fucking house down.

Ugh, smonster. I wish I was closer right now. We could motivate each other, or drink ourselves silly. Your choice.

I think you should all come to Mexico with me tomorrow.

I am adopting your dad, Maria. I will take money from my Republican physicians and spend it on things they hate.

I'm still in a protected bubble not interacting with anyone I don't have to. Have only watched recorded tv and still on news blackout other than what I gather from limited social media.

I am more grateful than ever to have this place. I'd say you have no idea, but I know you know all too well.

eta: my typing hasn't improved.

Maria, I'm sorry you and your family feel like you don't have friends in the area anymore. That's miserable.
