Rose hasn't asked yet. I don't know if they'll talk about it at her school today. I'm torn between wanting to tell her now and wanting to put it off as long as possible. At least she won't really understand the importance, just that Mama and Daddy are sad about it.
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Still sick about this. I am so very sorry for everyone right now.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I want to check the local news to see how the local races shook out, but I can't even bring myself to open the website because I don't want to see it.

A friend and I are working on a playlist called Trumpocalypse as a distraction. Bring on your suggestions, Buffistas!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thanks to Kat, Consuela, and past-Nilly for important words!
For my part, apparently what I'm doing today is handing out cash. The guy in the subway was playing Danny's Song ("Tell me everything's gonna be all right"), threw him a buck. Got off the subway and bought the homeless newspaper I hardly ever buy anymore. We'll see who else needs something today. I also wanted to apologize to every person of color I walked by.

I checked a couple hours ago and there were two positives from Maine, I guess. First, they seem to have approved the legalization of recreational marijuana. So we can spend the next four years high if need be. And they approved raising minimum wage. So maybe we can afford recreational marijuana. 😂

Yeah, local levies I voted for did actually pass, and that matters. Some Republicans lost in upsets, which doesn't happen here often. Our local government matters, and there were some good changes there last night.

I had to turn the radio to a music station. But even that didn't help. The playlist as I listened:
The Idiot Kings
Until The End Of The World
Im Nin'Alu
Farewell To The Good Times
It's The End of the Worlds As We Know It
Fight For Your Mind
Nowhere Man
You Want It Darker
Shelter Song
Karma Police
SOS (Overboard)
Blame it On Cain
Hold on hope
Lost On You
I Gotta Get Drunk
I almost laughed.

Love to all of you. Take care of yourselves today. I am glad I decided to take this week off of work, because I can barely get out of bed right now.
Thanks for the Nilly words, Steph. They helped.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm at work, but I know I won't get anything done.
I fear America is dead.
