We just got leave to "take/do/be whatever you need to today" from work. Would that I knew what that was.
Prepare to uncouple -- uncouple.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I feel sick.

The CTO of my company just said he doesn’t expect anyone to work today and that anyone who voted for “those fucking nazis” is fired

Good CTO.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
What is really making me sad is that voter turnout in my county was only 71.33%
Less than I was hoping. Less than I was expecting, even.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I don't feel worse than in 2016, because I was totally blindsided by those results. For this election, I knew Trump winning was possible, but didn't seem likely. So I feel like shit, and I'm angry, and really bitter. Like, of fucking COURSE this country is a bunch of Christofascist misogynist transphobic homophobic racist science-denying bigots.
Yep, all of this. I am absolutely gutted, but at least I was semi-prepared to feel this way?
Some good news: the salted caramel I made from scratch to go on top of the apple pie bars I stress-baked yesterday? It fucking ROCKS. So if anyone thinks a caramel latte, hot chocolate, or just straight-up drinking caramel through a straw will help in any way, come over to my house and I'll hook you up..

'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"
I have no meds, I just have to bare brain it through the day. I was hoping being at work would at least make me feel distracted/useful, but my stomach is so upset that I'm taking antacids.

At a family party this weekend, one person brought apple dip made with a layer of cream cheese topped by a layer of salted caramel, topped by pecan halves. Very tasty! Someone else brought a pumpkin pie. Your local genius (that would be me) scooped up some of that caramel-y goodness and put it on my slice of pie, and then put whipped cream on top. Believe me when I tell you the angels sang.
So if anyone thinks a caramel latte, hot chocolate, or just straight-up drinking caramel through a straw will help in any way, come over to my house and I'll hook you up..
