The Day After Randoms

[ladytiffany24]

I've been pretty MIA lately, but I need lots of hair pats and hand holding to get through today.

I am shocked, saddened and mortified.

[becole]

I feel you. Baby G and I are singing "this little light of mine."

[vlagroupie]

I don't know what to say, I woke up at 430 am to a text from my dad telling me to keep my mind open and to look forward to a better life for me and my family. I just have no words. I'm sad that I can't even find comfort from parents.

Ewww. I'm sorry.

I'm sad and angry. My one hope is that this mobilizes democrats in 2020. It's important to have good voter turnout since 2020 is the year of the census and redistricting. If democrats want any chance to take back majorities in state government, we need to show up in 2020.

I really wish I could have stayed home today. I do NOT feel like dealing with people, at all.

[vlagroupie]

I just got to work and I'm waiting for the 1 racist/bigot to come glouting.
Andplusalso, I fear the future of my job right now too. If he breaks trade deals with china we are fucked. My boss is freaking out about what the future of our business looks like.

[becole]

I'm always nervous about my job after an election cycle. You just don't know what/ how they might cut. And if they repeal ACA...

[chrispy1122]

vlagroupie same fear here. Climate Change and GHG regulations are obviously a nonstarter, but I genuinely wonder what environmental regs are going to get rolled back.

[vlagroupie]

Gawd guys, I didn't even think about my job until my boss what telling us how he fears what the future brings. I'm seriously shaking. This changes everything.

[sstwinklinglites]

Just stopping in to say hai.

I don't want to talk about the election. It's done, and there's not much we can do now except use the next four years to push for real change. Push for third parties to get their platforms out there and be heard. Push for reform. Continue to defend the defenseless and be good humans, because we can't let Trump and his band of gross supporters be what the world thinks of us. It's an uphill battle, but we have to start now.

[dogmama22]

I'm speechless anyway. Completely shock when I saw the results this morning.

[mrscatfarmer13]

Hey I'm finally checking in. I don't have much to say. I'm pretty numb today.
We won't find out anything for sure on my dad until Friday. The neurosurgeon was in this morning and said that the tumor is most likely a bad candidate for aggressive resection. They'll probably only do a biopsy so they can recommend chemo/radiation to prolong life. So this is probably our last holiday season. My mom is calling insurance so they can try to get into cancer centers of ameri a in chicago. Sorry ir this is hard to read, words are hard ATM.

[babylove518]

I am so sorry mrscatfarmer13. All the hugs. Still praying for the best.

I'm so sorry the news isn't better. I've been keeping your dad and your whole family in my prayers.

[mom2boxers]

mrscatfarmer13- hugs. So many prayers it's not as bad as they think.

[dogmama22]

Big hugs to your whole family mrscatfarmer13. I can't even imagine what you're going through

[chrispy1122]

Hugs mrscatfarmer13.

[hbrockman01]

T&P mrscatfarmer13

[ladytiffany24]

Hugs mrscatfarmer13!

[lindsay]

I'm so sorry mrscatfarmer13 praying for a miracle and hoping he can get the best medical care possible

[bazingaa]

Hugs mrscatfarmer13. Let us know if we can help in any way.

[vlagroupie]

mrscatfarmer13 still sending all the t&p's.

[mrscatfarmer13]

I can't thank everyone enough for your thoughts and prayers. I'm sorry I keep bringing down the threads with my sad situation. I think not really knowing what what to expect is the hardest part; if I can get a handle on what to expect then I can begin to cope and move foward. Limbo is so difficult. Hopefully, we can get answers sooner than later and begin to move foward with whatever the may be.

Uncertainty is the hardest part of most difficult situations IMO. Praying you find some peace soon with whatever is in store. ::Hugs::

[lindsay]

Literally so tired from last nights crazy, long night. About to take a nap.

[chrispy1122]

No need to apologize mrscatfarmer13. You can be sad and upset. This is your dad. I remember when my mom had her cancer diagnosis the hardest part was feeling like I needed to be strong for my dad who was taking it really hard. There's no one way you need to act or feel, cancer sucks. I'm not sure what I'm trying to say other than we are here for you to vent, cry, complain, whatever you need.

[dogmama22]

I know we said we're not talking about the election anymore, but oh this video! (Concession speech)
I'm not crying - you're crying!
