Spent more time than I should have on the Ask a Manager link. Amazing how quickly the Letter Writer went from clueless (and perhaps -- perhaps -- well-meaning) to downright malicious.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Still not sure if I have a sinus infection. I have an Rx for antibiotics, though I hate to use them if they're not necessary. But I'm feeling progressively worse as the days go on.
I literally thought today, maybe husband and I should retire in another country. It's weird to think about, and obviously not an issue at the moment, but with the vote today, I really had a minute of not being sure I wanted to stay in this country.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My old boss was very seriously considering it -- that's how he and his husband were planning vacations, as scouting trips for retirement.

Because books.
Does today feel especially bleak or is it just me?

Today just doesn't feel bleak, it is bleak, thanks to the United States Senate, the Greatest Deliberative Body in the World.

I've been in a weird cranky/sad mood all day, well before the Senate vote. I'm not sure what that's about. And it's a stunningly gorgeous day here, too -- perfect for frolicking (or at least taking a walk), but instead I am cross and gritchy and teary.

I'm the same, Tep -- I woke up groggy to a cloudy day, and like you said, way before the Senate vote, everything felt awful. Which was partly walking into work and getting reamed by the tiny French bakery dictator, but still.
I feel like I've been on the edge of tears all day.

Of course, this kind of started yesterday, when I cried at the video for Fiona the hippo's 6-month birthday (she even has her own song, proving that she is indeed the Lil Sebastian of Cincinnati).

I'm all unbalanced because I went to therapy yesterday and only cried a little bit, and it was a great session! And today, blech.
