Morning bookish ! I woke up with a headache too. I have a feeling many people will be hungover for real today...
Morning negative emotions: *poof* eta: I had a rant. Second guessed it. Basically I'm not happy with how the election went, and I'm having a hard time with all my feels today.
Morning positive emotions: Baby boy is moving and kicking hard this morning! I love feeling him! I had biscotti with coffee. It's the little things.

I also barely slept. Had the TV on all night and was up often on watching this insanity. I also cried. I am so sad for our country. I'll just leave it at that.
When dropping off my daughter at her sitter this morning, I walked in to my sitter consoling her crying 9 year old daughter. The daughter said she wanted to be homeschooled because she was scared. I got in my car and cried.
Then I got a text from my sister who told me that my niece asked her who won the election. When she told her, my 10 year old niece asked, "Are we going to die? What if he builds a wall?"
I barely slept all night and I am feeling the hangover as well. On the plus side, LO was bouncing off my ute walls like all night so it was kind of a weird comfort. Maybe they sensed the disturbance in my anxiety.
Hang in there little one, I'm still going to try and make this world a good place for you.

This was me too. Baby boy was dancing more than ever, which helped blunt a few of the emotions.
I echo what everyone else has said. Today is a very sad day.
+1 to the active baby while watching election coverage in disbelief. We're thinking of you America and hoping somehow it won't turn out to be that bad.
I'm home today with a sick kid who is severely testing my patience. We've been up for 2 hours and im already counting down until DH gets home
Love tits are for support and understanding. I'm devastated and numb. I cried while holding my kid in the middle of the night last night. This isn't the world I want for him.
I have kind of a nice little day ahead. I'm headed downtown to court to back up an attorney who is flying in to argue. Basically, I'm an understudy. After, I'm having lunch with some of my girlfriends, then doing some shopping before a doctors appointment. Wahoo!
With regard to the election, I just need a break. I can't even look at social media right now. There is so much hate on both sides, really. Luckily, my day will keep me mostly unplugged. I was up most of the night, but surprisingly not tired. We also went to an election party til about 9 that was pretty fun actually.
IDK man, like I'm upset but I'm also not shocked at all. Everyone I know IRL supported and voted for trump. I tried to say that is was just the south "southing" but....
I'm now just wondering what happened in my life to make me so different from my family.
I'm sad about the result, but I also recognize that the people have spoken. It's not what I wanted, but I put in my vote, so I had my voice. The other side did too. This whole election cycle has brought up a lot of conversation points and I think the people around me have realized we need to do more to spread a message of equality and to speak up. I think it will be a time of reevaluating for both parties, and that's not a bad thing to me.

I'm pretty positive I am in the minority here by voting Trump, but I don't feel like I "won" yesterday. It is pretty pathetic that Trump and Hillary were our only 2 realistic options, but it is what it is, its over and its done. I'm trying to find comfort in the fact that, to my knowledge, there is no president that has ever accomplished every single thing he said he was going to do. There probably isn't even a politician in any position that can say that. Trump will only be able to do so much. It is not a one man show in this country.
A friend of mine posted something today. She shared the picture explaining that if you voted Trump then you need to be ready to explain to your LGBT, female, black, Muslim, etc friends why they don't matter, and argued against what it was saying. Trump voters are not all bad people. My political views do not define me as a person or accurately portray who or what does and doesn't matter.
I'm pretty independent TBH. I usually lean more left than right but like I said everyone I know IRL voted for Trump. I didn't, but I haven't(to my knowledge) been vilified for it by the people I know that voted for Trump.
I'm dissapointed but I don't feel like this is the end of the world. IDK, the whole situation is pretty complicated on both sides.

TCF (maybe proboards generally) has been down for me a lot today. Every few tries I'll be brought to the main page but when I click something I get the error page again.
