Sad Friday randoms

[robotpcr]

Apparently my ute knows what's going on today because I woke up with it trying to kill me at 5:20. By the time the drugs kicked in the helicopters had started. I think I'm going to be sick.

Please someone share something good happening today.

[marygracerich]

I don't even know what to type. I'm sorry robotpcr that your ute tried to kill you.
All of the news coverage is depressing. Thankfully I will be at work at 11.

[lgsdesigner]

I have nothing good to share. It's Trump day. I hate today so much.

robotpcr - Sorry!

I normally work from home on Fridays, but had to come in since Quentin was sick on Wednesday and I had to work from home then.
A little odd to be here, but at least Friday's are jean days.

MH went to the grocery store to get some mozzarella because he is making eggplant parm for dinner. I have major excitement about it. G is happily playing with her kitchen and I am in her room thinking with disbelief that today is Inauguration Day.

W slept through the night last night!!!!!!

Much of Canada is sending it's condolences today.

But thanks to this dumpster fire you've got going on, we have Kevin O'Leary trying to win the Conservative party leadership. Lort help us.

I work from home and I finished all my work for today by 9am, cleaned the house and now there's nothing left to do but sit and watch the end of the world on tv. It's like a train wreck... I can't seem to look away. Ughhhhhhhh

Hi ladies it's such a somber day. I think I got so comfortable with Obama, I just couldn't imagine another old white man back in the white house. I just hope our country can keep moving forward and not back.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Today I'll be getting my yearly cervix scraping. Seems fitting.

Also.
Got a news notification on my phone that said Obama had walked out of the White House for the last time as president.

I almost cried.

So sad

[lgsdesigner]

theroar - You rock! Thank you!!

[theroar]

We've got an Obama playlist from ABC going today in the living room. I'm really bummed I can't march tomorrow. I'm reading afrofuturist short stories to keep my spirits up and my mind off waiting for pathology results.

I think I overdid it yesterday by messing around in the kitchen, so I'm trying to really take it easy today. It's so hard for me to remember to chill out when I don't actually feel that bad. But D works from home, so he's watching me like a hawk hahaha And reminding me that ripping out my stitches could mean an emergency hysterectomy. Yikes! No thank you.

[theroar]

Oooooh D is making challah for Shabbat dinner! Mmmmm

[robotpcr]

DH's office is closed so he got up with M and let me finally get a little more sleep this morning that was really good. I'm keeping myself dosed on Midol.

Then I took M to playgroup and happened to run into my (second) cousin there with her son. So random! He's only a couple months younger than M but she's a teacher so I normally wouldn't run into her on a weekday but schools here are closed and we have a mutual friend who sometimes goes to this playgroup and whose son is apparently at the same daycare as my cousin's. Very weird. Our dads are first cousins but since I grew up so far away and they're not very close I just don't know her that well.

Just got back from my pap and my ob asked if I had plans for the weekend, I told him I was going to our local march in the morning. He was excited and decided that he should go too! I seriously love my ob. He and his wife delivered all 3 of my kids.

theroar - Want me to share some with you?

Sure!

[lgsdesigner]

theroar -
Here are 10 of the 20 (still writing!)
Some I wrote before my post, but here goes:

1. Inauguration

Your nostrils have seen
enough blow to know presidency
won’t work out.



2. Wants

Her flipping her hair
doesn’t mean she wants you so
put that thing away.



3. Student Loan Collector

I know I owe you
money but you’ll have to
wait until I’m ninety.

4. Instragram

Those photo filters
actually make you look
like a rag doll hag.

5. Fire

I can’t put you out
with a standard fire extinguisher
Fucking hot!



6. Whiskey

Just drink then chug-binge
Keep drinking...until your stomach fills
With tasty remorse.



7. Gut-Punch

I punch harder than the glove,
but will gloves make this punch
feel like dying?



8. Thirst

Don’t come to me because
you’re suddenly thirsty,
Come to me when parched.



9. Truth

Truth be told you are
an ignorant coward needing
his balls adjusted.



10. Ovaries

No ovaries, no voice
So keep that political bull to yourself!

[marygracerich]

I am heart broken. I can't believe it really happened. I can't even think about Trump being called president let alone actually doing anything.

[theroar]

Love "Thirst," lgsdesigner!

I mean, I think of how Obama and past presidents addressed tragedies that happened in our country with grace and compassion and a genuineness that I can NEVER imagine trump having.

This whole day just sucks.

I think one of the big things I am struggling with is that he is representing us as a people to the rest of the world. That's the start of my issues with about 263846383628 afterwards.

This week has been an absolute cluster. I've been wondering WTAF is going on, but then I remembered that today is the beginning of the end. So it all makes sense.

Drinking allllll the wine right now. Also eating a hot fudge sundae.
