I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I was wondering how all you Washingtonians were doing. I heard there was a State if Emergency but I haven't figured out what that means. And apparently we have a State of Emergency here (in the county), too? It seems to just mean the schools are disinfecting surfaces more often so far, but I've been advised to have 3 weeks of food on hand just in case. Which I might already have, I need to inventory to e sure, but I could probably stretch it if I had to. 6 weeks of cat food, I know that.

Anyway, I hope you get your trip and stay healthy, meara!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Cindy, msbelle, thanks for the calling and canvassing. I am so worn out over the past three election cycles that I am not sure I can handle it. I was a volunteer organizer in 2016 and, after spending 30 hours a week in the campaign office, the results gutted me. (I mean, they gutted us all, but I am not ready for phone banking and canvassing again quite yet.)

Except now we have a local candidate challenging the GOP state senator who won after some gerrymandering twisted the district enough to take a 35 year democrat-held seat with a University into a republican seat during the Scott Walker years. Gah. I at least made a donation to his campaign.

My goal was to survive the Trump years on wine and sheet cake. Well, dammit, I have the diabetes now, so we pretty much need this election.

Oh, great. Now I can't even watch Steel Magnolias and say, "at least I don't have diabetes."

Herding cats for fun

Wish you all the 'ma, Cash.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

All the -ma in the world, Cashmere.

Sorry to beep and run. I know I've been AWOL for a long time but I'm weaning myself off of FB and Twitter is a trash fire of a different sort.

The incident last night involved my brother who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and my frail, elderly father. There was a shooting. BOTH of them are alright but in the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. My brother is off his meds and Dad is 80 years old with some cracked ribs, a swollen eye, possibly a broken foot and who knows what else after my brother attacked him.

This just fucking sucks. Mental illness sucks. Guns suck. Everything sucks.

Holy hell, Cash. I'm so sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh god, that sounds terrible for everyone. I'm sorry.

Amy - Mar 02, 2020 4:20:57 am PST #16947 of 30019

Because books.

Oh god, Cash, I'm so sorry. Sending all kinds of ~ma to all of you.
