I feel like my head is a balloon today. I don't really know how to describe it any other way. I'm trying to work, but my focus is all over the place. I took my Adderall but that doesn't seem to help. I feel all coiled up inside, ready to spring - sort of. Again, not sure how best to explain that. It is almost like being high, but I haven't taken anything that would put me in an altered state. I have a lot to do today and I'm having Lasik tomorrow. I know some of this is anxiety over getting all that done. But I'm still so numb after Tuesday.
Part of my dealing is that I wanted to create something but I also wanted to connect with all my friends and do something for the people I care so much about.
I put a note out on FB asking who wanted a shot of whiskey. And I'm offering it here. I'm not explaining what I'm sending but if you want to take YOUR SHOT - hit me up on FB in a PM with your address or send me an e-mail to my profile address.
I'm going to Mexico on Saturday and I'm just not thinking or planning beyond that yet. I'm on a news blackout and only skimming FB for the most part.
When I get back I'll rejoin the fight. Right now I'm clinging to denial for a few days more.
JESSE! This episode has Hugh Bonneville! Obviously you must watch it.
Have a great trip, brenda. I hear you about the denial. I'm not sure how else to process it. I have an email from my parents (currently pre-wintering in SC) asking what I think of the outcome that I am just ignoring, unanswered. It may remain that way.
Jury's been deliberating about 8 hours now in the local police stop murder trial (two blocks from my work.) We've done ok with this kind of thing in recent years - since the huge 2001 riots - but I wish this wasn't happening this week, of all weeks.
The only common ground I want to find is where people who voted for Trump acknowledge the humanity and equal citizenship of people who aren't like them. Other than that, not so much.

I genuinely forgot about it in the last 18 hours. Sheesh.
That bodycam footage is pretty damning, but then US juries don't seem to give a shit about that. So.
... and my backup drive with all my old tv and audiobook files on it has died. Damnit.
Do you think a computer shop could save my data if I brought it in with another drive to copy it onto?
I have been on news blackout, and expect to only watch CBS Sunday Morning for a while. I have HGTV buffering for when I want background tv.
I watched my ahemmed files of GBBO last night and expect to do so tonight. There's always X-Files.
