I found out this morning that my brother voted for Gary Johnson. I wanted to scream at him, but knew it wouldn't do any good. He's solidly convinced he can do no wrong, even if you explain things precisely. He's solidly convinced the country is going to hell anyway so it doesn't matter who's in charge.
Hey, we have the same brother! And I know Colorado went to Clinton, so he can try and say his vote doesn't matter, but his attitude damn well does, and I just have to ignore his politics right now, because I need him as my sounding board as I'm going through therapy.
But I still want to punch him in the head.
SuziQ, sorry about the focus issues. I need to start work on my next Stanford class, so I have to find some focus today, myself. Also, glad your eyes are doing well!
Court tomorrow. At least I'm worrying about something other than the state of my country tonight.
Lots of things-working-out~ma, Callaluna.
I have been doing birthdays on FB more in recent years, but I also want to be here more and there less, so...
I need to be scarce on FB for the time being. I know it's helpful to people to talk about the election and share their fears and share articles, but I can't handle it. Right now, self-care for me has to be avoiding those conversations, because they send me straight into a panic spiral.
My cat is doing a lot of sleeping. A LOT, a lot. I think we are nearing the end. It started on Thursday with him being super clingy that night and has not gotten any better. He's close to 18, so unsurprising, but damn.
Healing ~ma for your dad, Sail!
I'm so sorry, Sail. All sorts of ~am to you and your dad.
Sail, I'm so sorry. Doctors ideas of "quality of life" can be very different from yours and your dad's. Don't let them push you into anything he doesn't want to do.
