What to do about Today

Happy Thanksgiving to the good humans. I hope it's a good day for everyone. I'm not sure what I want to do today. I'm kind of glad my official thanksgiving won't be until Sunday.  I got up before 7 which is late. I like winter mornings when you know it's cold and you're warm under the blankets. It wasn't that I didn't want to get out of bed. I was just comfortable and happy to be warm.  

I messaged Corinne this morning about my own bad feelings that hit me yesterday with the election.  I know she was in a state of shock initially and it didn't hit until maybe 24 hours after the election results.  I know I panic and sometimes it's a false panic.  When you realize the panic is real?  That's brutal.  I'm ok today.  I'm sure I'm going to have more moments like this when I get news alerts after January 20th.  I don't think I can even take any farewell speeches from Joe as he winds down his presidency.  This has been unfair.  

I'm sick of the bitching and complaining about what went wrong. Fix it.  Do something as Michelle Obama would say.  Find your way Democrats because there's a lot of us who didn't ask for this and we need someone badly.  For 107 days, Kamala Harris truly came into her own and she did a phenomenal job in that short time.  I want to see her run for California governor.  This country is too messed up to have a "gasp" woman in charge.  She never made her campaign about being a woman of color.  She made it about bringing joy and hope and making things affordable.  People don't listen.  They get distracted by orange men in garbage trucks.  Joe Biden was too kind in the garbage remarks, but that's just my crappy feelings coming out.

I found a video of Joy Reid from last night about the people who support Maga that was really spot on.  Like buzz off with your feelings, Maga idiots.  Let us have our Thanksgiving alone.  From what I'm seeing online, there's these videos of Maga women saying liberal women want to jump them.  Are you kidding me?  That's made up garbage.  Please shut up about Laken Riley.  You're worried about toilets.  Go away.  Go have a MAGA party.  Leave us alone.  You got your way.  Take your toys and go jump in a lake.  We're good.  

The manager who blabbed my medical information to her suck ups used to make this reference that nobody here is a "special snowflake."  I didn't realize until not too long ago that's a slap against liberals.  She was rotten.  I heard her ask someone why would anyone want to come see Michelle Obama when she came to Milwaukee one time when her husband was in office.  My mom wanted to know what "woke" meant.  I said it means you care about people.  Another slur that they can shove.

I think my mom felt overwhelmed when we went out last night to drop a package off at the post office and go to Target.  I didn't expect Target to be that busy.  I sold something on eBay and I was already getting messages about why I hadn't sent it, so I got it packaged up and dropped off. I would like to see if I can sell a little more before Christmas Day, if possible.  Extra money is always welcome.  

I started to watch a Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds holiday movie this morning that I'll finish later.  I will probably read, maybe go for a walk.  Make Precious snuggle with me some more as my therapy cat and eat french fries.  I have actually not been that bad with eating lately.  Instead of emotional eating, I just cry.  Ok, that was meant to be funny but that statement sounds so bad.  Listening to The Big Bang Theory did help yesterday.

I hope the good humans have a good Thanksgiving.  If you're alone, you're not.  I would welcome you into my house for some food.  Doesn't have to be turkey.  It could be anything.  We could watch TV and make fun of jerks.  Thanksgiving isn't about having a turkey.  It's counting your blessings and being with people.  Finding a little joy in the day.  I got a sleeping senior kitten next to me so that's my moment of joy.

I just hope everyone has a good day.  Unless you voted for you know, that guy.  You're on your own people.
