I'm wearing a red and black flannel shirt and black leggings. Red, the blood of angry men; black, the dark of ages past that we'll currently be reliving in short order, you know, NBD.
I got to work and asked my coworker if she's ready for the ushering in of the apocalypse today and she said she's just going to pretend it's not happening, but that it was nice knowing everyone. Another coworker asked a customer if they're watching today, and the customer said they'd rather throw their TV out the window. lol. Small comforts.
Well, Stella's at the vet. She wouldn't eat breakfast this morning. They did X-rays and the vet saw "something" but she couldn't be sure if it was in the duodenum or the colon. So she's sending the films to a radiology specialist and we'll go from there. If it's in the colon, they don't go in after it. If it's in the duodenum they'll do surgery. Come on, colon!
I'm trying to decide if I can go to a small rally tomorrow morning. One of the candidates for governor is speaking, it's only an hour long and then she heads off to the capital for a bigger event. I'm trying to think logistics with DS. Hmmmmmmmm
I'm not letting today make me sad. I'm angry and I'm ready to get to work. It's just freaking hard when I have a maniac child.
Ha! I'm wearing black jeans and cardigan, with democrat-blue shirt and shoes. DD is also in black, but hers is a NASA shirt since we're going to see Hidden Figures at noon.
We just dropped off 54 pounds of food at the food pantry, I figured helping others and a civil rights and science connected movie would be appropriate today.

I'm working from home in all black, in a generally pissy mood and avoiding both the news and social media. Trying to keep busy and focus on work.
Donating to PP later today, and then I'm debating making a sign for my DDs to hold at the local Women's March tomorrow. I don't think I'll be able to stay for the whole event, even though it's only two hours, but I really feel like I need to at least bring them for a bit to start teaching them action as early as possible.

I seriously think my body has an intense reaction to big trump days. Day after the election my allergies kicked my ass so bad I had trouble keeping my eyes open they were so itchy/watery. Today, same fucking thing. And I don't get terrible allergies.
H is going to be appalled at my drinking tonight. I'm in dark colors, it's raining.
I spent last night working on my sign for the march tomorrow. Feeling salty. I didn't want to watch this, but I feel like I need to if I'm going to properly fuel myself for the days/weeks/months to come.
I find it really ironic that the weather today is miserable. Gray, raining, cold. Fitting.
I am in mourning, so I'm wearing black from head to toe, with exception of my work North Face I have on right now because I'm freezing. My head is pounding and one of my eyes is bright red.

I've got a jam packed schedule today.
More CTs today Go to Barnes and noble Come home, have lunch, clean house
BFFs brother died this week and I asked her to come over do we could love on her for a while. She's undecided. If I know her, she'll call me at 6 pm and say no, but on the chance that she says yes, I'll have to let everyone know and have snacks and booze.

I'm stuck on what to fix for dinner tomorrow. H is a diabetic with pancreatitis. Our friend is on a no protein diet for his gout. Then I have the picky adult friend who doesn't eat anything and Myles who could live off crackers. I'm really starting to think eating out is going to be our best choice. There are too many health related diets I cannot accommodate with picky eaters. If these weren't out closest friends here I'd tell picky pants to shove it, but he's not in a good place right now.
I mentioned this in last night's randoms, but I was thinking about it again this morning because there's a poll from our local news station on FB. I'm a U.S. history teacher and I have zero intention of bringing up the inauguration, let alone showing it. I honestly don't care if it's "making history." NO. Our admin hasn't said anything either way, and God knows I've discussed every minute detail of the election and the incoming administration with my students. I just don't want to honor 45 in any way.
Also-- and this is so dumb, but whatever-- we left the tv on for the whole day, on the Cartoon Network.
Oh I am pissed off today. I want to throw things at anyone who is rejoicing this day and spewing hateful nonsense about how great it's going to be. Today might just be the day I lose my shit

I thought I could handle just the CEP thread but Tillie is in there being obnoxious and I'm not sure I am up for it today.
We have people coming in tomorrow so we have 3 cabins we need to clean. H needs to go feed his aunt's mules and we need to go to town to pick dd up at some point. We also need to figure out what to do for dinner tomorrow since h's bff and his cousin will be here.
