Surprisingly sad that my ex is leaving today.

It's been nice having him around. Even if he did make me watch the stupidest movie ever...

He did a lot around the house. I now have new faucets in my kitchen and bathroom. The bathroom didn't have cold water in the sink the entire time I've loved here and the landlord never thought it was a big deal. And my hot water handle in the kitchen has been a vice grip instead of a handle for 2 years. Also not a concern. Since I'm painting and such, the little changes make it feel less like I'm putting lipstick on a pig :)

I may have the best ex husband a girl could ask for :)

Like I'm gonna throw up.

How can so many people be fooled...it's like Hitler all over again.

I want to leave the country for 4 years. I have no clue how or where though.

Determined.

I'm not leaving.

A couple years ago I had thought of retiring in Mexico or Panama because I know people who've retired in both areas and love it, but I ain't goin' nowhere.

I'm a product of strong and smart Black people, strong and smart lesbians and strong and smart Americans who have all paid a high price for me to be here today.

I hold nothing against those who are leaving and I plan on helping my friends who have pledged to leave, but I ain't goin' nowhere.

I'm here to stay.

I am feeling many of the same emotions I felt the morning of 9/11. Shock. Disbelief. Fear. Disheartened. Too many emotions to name them all, but I know that we will get through this somehow. We need to stick together as a community, and as a nation. Be gentle with yourselves and others today, it's likely needed.

There is an herb that would cure that.:|

Went to bed pretty early last night after watching election for awhile and feeling great ... woke up, read election news immediately ... wtf?

CAUTION:
If he comes near, be on high alert, no one wants to be grabbed "there" and since he is a one trick dog and pony show (holding high doubts he will be back for an additional 4-year term) he is now wide open to be his true self ... misogynist, racist pig.

Kinda feeling sorry for myself......

Weebles wobble but they don't fall down.

Neither do you Gemme.

A mixture of complete exhaustion, fear, and oddly, hope for the future. There has to be something good that will be birthed from this pile of shit. Something amazing is going to happen in the future. Or now, when we all come together and build a kinder society. I think, no, I know love will rule, hearts will open, and minds will be changed.

Sick at heart.
:praying:

depressed..... not quite sure how to make it out of this one alive...

....and the worst part is.... nobody knows this death I'm drying...

"There's a ghost, she's wearin' my face
At parties being introduced with my name
Just a skeleton of bones, wearing nothing but clothes
And she is paralyzing"

Numb.

I've been on lock down at work with my door closed, a do-not-disturb sign on the door, and music playing—no NPR, no MSNBC, no Diane Rehm.

We had our yearly crafts fair this week at work and I refused to attend. I just can't stand to see all these Jack Happy Republicans grinning like they've hit the jackpot and I'm not giving them my money, either.

Could you elaborate a bit further? please..:|

not very well..i was warned by someone about a certain person and I told them they were wrong. They were right. He is a jerk and I want to apologize for doubting your judgement. I try to be fair and kind but the age of Trump is going to be a nightmare if you're not the right color or religion.

Gemme may wobble a bit as we all do in our lives but she never gives up and she never falls down
 

From Wiki:

Weebles is a trademark for several lines of children's roly-poly toys originating in Hasbro's Playskool division on July 23, 1971. Tipping an egg-shaped Weeble causes a weight located at the bottom-center to be lifted off the ground. Once released, gravitational force brings the Weeble back into an upright position. Weebles have been designed to have a variety of shapes, including some designed to look like people and animals, among others.

The popular catchphrase, "Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down", was used in advertising during their rise in popularity in the 1970s and during successive relaunches in the early 21st century.

The Weebles 1971-2011 Price Guide and Index Book lists and shows every Weeble model made over the past 40 years. There are 21 peelable / 83 regular / 12 tumbling = 116 Weebles in total including all egg shaped sizes and variations made during 1971-1983. In 2010 Hasbro started making a new line of larger egg-shaped Weebles and had produced 42 new Weebles as of July 2011.

Really nervous and super lazy. It's 4 days til my move to Iowa and I have managed to not pack a single thing yet watch 2 pointless Redbox movies and now I'm about to make it 3. Talk about procrastination

Pensive... but otherwise ... pretty good! :)

Feeling great, work is easy life is good and the holidays are coming up
Just got 5 packages in today but I am waiting for cyber Monday to nab a few things

Exhausted and drained.

Nervous and a little scared...

There's some wicked wild fires encroaching on us. The air is thick with smoke and some of my favorite places around here are already burned. Its getting very scary.

After feeling rather bummed out all week, my mood has improved immensely today. Last night I had some very peaceful dreams and even woke up smiling this morning. I've spent the day with my mom having a light brunch, doing some shoe and window shopping, and then afternoon coffee and a treat.

It was just what the doctor ordered. :)

I kinda feel like running away. However, because I can't do that realistically, I'm just going to run away in my mind and find my beach!!!!! :|

The last three months of too many hours worked, too little sleep, too much stress, and too many planes have finally caught up with me (the moment I stopped to rest) and I've been hit by respiratory affliction of some variety. Im ankle Deep in tissues, cough drops, and sudafed.

Life is... well, it's life. Considering the alternative... I take it and make it good!

Good tea helps! ;)

Loved up. Just coming home from four days with the best friends a girl can have, gathered together for a wedding, celebrating love. In the midst of all that is going on in the world... I was in the happiest place on earth.

I'm under a fuck ton of pressure, but that's when I'm at my best.

I'm also anticipating having to move before I'm actually ready to move, so I'm super stressed out.

Weirdly, I'm also fairly happy. Content. But, not content.

The struggle is fucking r e a l.

Honestly, like I have been run over by a Mack truck. I woke up Saturday feeling great, went for my morning walk etc. By late morning I was running a fever and couldn't stay awake. No other symptoms, just fever and chills. I've done this off and on since I was a kid, but it is a rare occurrence. This time is lasted much longer, and this is the first day I've been out of the bed since Saturday, other than to drink water and take care of Sadie. I'm still running a temp but it has dropped to 101, so that's a good thing.

Feeling excellent! Watching Obama's post-election press conference. Dude's got class!

Feeling great! Monday is just another day to be alive! :)

Got home late, had to buy dogfood and cokes.

After I fed the two pooches, we went outside for their ice cube party. I dumped 2 big tumblers on the ground and their party begins. Jennifer throws her cubes in the air, then chases them. Kevie tries to see how many he can get in his mouth and still be able to chew them. These two make me laugh! :)

Thank you everyone for the good thoughts and well wishes. I think it must have helped! My fever finally broke last night. I woke up because I felt cold, and not only was I soaked in cold sweat but so was my bottom sheet. That part sucked, but I feel so much better now.

A little cranky. There's some stuff in my world that needs shifting. I'm on it though.

Excited, hopeful, happy!!!!

feeling good
