And in both Palm Beach and Broward counties the Dems are in charge. I am in a rage state. We have 3 races I voted on in recount. Governor, Senator, and my state rep too.
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The Broward County election supervisor was appointed by Jeb.
I slept good on Wednesday night, but last night I had more anxiety, and only got a few hours of sleep again. At one point I fell alseep, but quickly woke up after I had a mass shooting nightmare.
I guess I need to vent some more later today in therapy.

Seriously, the weather and family keep me here, but my level of distress over the political situation in Florida is off the charts. I know other states, Georgia and North Carolina as examples, have issues, but Florida shenanigans and incompetence gave us George Bush and it is still undetermined what this mess is costing us.

Tom, my experience (which is obviously not universal) is that, for the past 2 years, we have all been living with a sustained level of stress and anxiety as our daily background noise. And, for me, that jacks up my baseline anxiety, which means that anything else that sets off my anxiety is already starting from second base (or sometimes third) instead of home plate. And it blows.
I hope that venting in therapy today is helpful for you.

What is even happening?
Wow, Steph. You really just nailed it for me.
Tom, I hope it helps too.

Because books.
That's it in a nutshell, Steph. I hope therapy is cathartic today, Tom.
Laura, that is some serious fuckery.

That sounds awful, Tom, but not, like, an irrational reaction? I hope venting helps.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, that's my experience too. So far (you know, the past two days), I feel slightly better.

I was going to make my usual complaint that working 5 days in a row is too much, but then I remembered that I called in sick on Monday. I should probably look for a new job. Just saying that "out loud" to make it more real to myself.

Steph has nailed how I'm feeling as well, which is why I had to talk myself down in the shower this morning.
