I think I have to leave facebook, too. I have cried 3 or 4 times today, and I am terrified and disheartened, and I can't tell what is rational and what is me being inclined to paranoia. It is like my childhood fear of nuclear war is on top of my pre-Katrina fear that GWB would abolish term limits and it had no time to ramp up- just went from Obama=calm to 100 anxious points in three months.

I'm finding it very difficult to balance staying informed and not losing my mind.
I went to a protest on Sunday, I donate to the ACLU, etc. But then I need to stop and force myself to remember that in 2 days I'm moving into an apartment with my favorite person in the world and that's it's OK to be happy about that - need to keep reminding myself that I can be of more help to the disenfranchised if I keep myself sane.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm moving into an apartment with my favorite person in the world
Woo hoo! Congratulations!
and that's it's OK to be happy about that
I think it's more important than ever to seize every moment of happiness, no matter how seemingly small.
need to keep reminding myself that I can be of more help to the disenfranchised if I keep myself sane.
And this is totally true.

Woof. I'm full of TJ's mac-and-cheese (with broccoli & sriracha). And I'm watching Jane the Virgin. Which I feel is a good antidote to the awful.
I did send faxes last night to my senators, encouraging them to stand their ground, for all the good it may do.
I went and got poked by the doctor again today, and got a blood test, and got a flu shot.

Aw, zuisa, do let yourself be happy! That's wonderful.

I am actually reading FB more than I used to . Which is still not much, but I've been pleasantly surprised to see that people who were apolitical or conservative back in the day are marching and protesting now. Not everyone, of course, but more than I would have guessed.

I just started watching Jane the Virgin last week and it is so amazingly just what I needed.
Thanks for the welcome back, everyone!
