I've lost 5 lbs in the past 10 days.

I wasn't trying. It's stress and busy-ness. I barely manage to eat during the workday, much less make a rage cheese plate later. I am cheesing, but apparently not making up the diff of only managing to shove one package of coconut granola bars into my face during the day.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I don't have the spoons to watch that at the moment. Right now, I'm watching a train wreck on my county talk page on facebook. "Sand ni**as" and nuke the shit out of the country known as the Middle East. I can't even.

Having seen glimpses of that, yeah, don't.

Oh man, Maria. I'm super glad I rarely see that stuff on my FB. Even if that does mean it's an echo chamber.

Trying to go to sleep momentarily so I can get enough to be up early again tomorrow. Bleh.

And DBF, because he had the temerity to call them out on their racist bullshit, was banned from the group. These are ignorant, ignorant people, and this is exactly why I'm scared shitless for this election.

Oh, ugh, Maria.

I'm . . . happy, I guess? that the most Republican person I'm close to can't stand Trump. This may be the first presidential election she's gonna sit out in 36 years. So her FB feed has a lot of puppies and boats and I can go there without fear of rage blackouts.

And then there are the others, but screw 'em. I'm happy to defriend anyone who's not my big sis.

In non-election-related news, I got "exceeds expectations" on my yearly review yesterday. The three possibilities are needs improvement, satisfactory, or exceeds expectations, so I'm pretty happy. At my previous job, i singlehandedly saved a multimillion dollar contract that I wasn't even assigned to, and I still only got "satisfactory" that year, but I suspect they decided what they wanted to do with staff and rated accordingly instead of the other way around. While the nine months of unemployment sucked, I'm so much happier at my present job.

Our wings are not tired.

I have a few Trump lovers in my FB feed. I'm not going to bother to waste my time until after the conventions. See tag.
