Yes, there’s the “late Night” humor, but Seth Meyers’s summation provides… something.

I was already struggling with more stress, fatigue, and headaches as the election approached. But it’s getting worse and worse now. Could barely sleep. Nausea woke me up early. Can barely eat. Far worse migraine.

I often try to channel Fred Rogers when I’m at risk of giving into the darkness. I found this quote that helped a bit today.
He didn’t seem to have any specific wisdom on how to deal with a nation’s descent into fascism. But I like where this one is going at least. Plus it gives me something to do during the next thunderstorm.

On the bright side, I get to see if this migraine med works.

Ok, I’m going to go attempt to go to bed. I got maybe 3 hours of sleep last night. I don’t really want to go to bed, but I really need to.

Yoga? I took the healthy option and got kebab meat and chips for my tea. I’ll have to be careful of comfort eating.

To be clear, there was ice cream later.
Slept terribly. Again.

What @Millie_Fink said. Do not give them any wins that we can avoid giving them. The next period of time is going to suck, but we need each other to get through it, and come out the other side at least semi-sane and effective. And make their efforts to destroy us that much harder.

I’m ok, mainly because I live in a blue state (although, scarily, not nearly as blue as before) with a Governor who has a track record of fighting Trump. Yes, that will put us in the crosshairs, but I feel safer and I worry just a touch less about the women, minorities, and immigrants in my life. And the illegal immigrants I know of as well.
He put out this great statement yesterday:

Quite a pithy statement. I approve.
He might as well make his position clear. Whether a friend or enemy, Trump will try to absorb and digest you.

I still feel numb. My appetite is non existent. I got some sleep last night but only because I was so high and exhausted from previous lack of sleep. I doubt I’ll sleep tonight. I spent the evening on the phone with a friend. We tried playing a video game, but neither of us could focus on it. So, we just talked. She’s just as terrified as I am. We’re going to get high, watch a movie and cuddle on Monday. I have plans with another friend this weekend and contacted some other friends I haven’t seen in a while. I feel the need to focus on whatever small positive things I can as I continue to process things. I’m trying not to give up, but it’s going to be difficult.

He’s been a heck of a governor for us. Definitely was not most people’s favorite (a billionaire in charge? That doesn’t go well) but he’s been a big hit. His last run had another billionaire challenge him with his main thrust being “he’s fat”.
JB was the guy you might remember from the pandemic who had the state buy PPE in a McDonald’s parking lot during the last Trump reign.

Hm. I have a fresh tub of ice cream in the freezer, and strawberries in the fridge. Now I have a plan!
