Well, my day at the polls was a complete waste of time. Not only was it a long, long day, working hard with snarky people who showed not a bit of appreciation, but then it was capped by the worst nightmare I could imagine. I commented on another post, but I'll say it here, too. This waste of space will never be my President. And with that I'll let it rest.
Spending has been pretty lean. I did a couple of loads of laundry over the weekend, and this morning I bought breakfast for $4. Food was provided at the polling place (I guess that was the one good thing about it!)
Not much other news. I'm pretty sad and dispirited.
A Wasted Day

I posted this elsewhere, but in a flurry of energy last night I baked lemon poppy seed and banana nut muffins which my family doesn't enjoy, so I divided them up two servings. I delivered one to my husband's surrogate grandfather who is still spry at 90 (he smiled and said "Oh good, celebratory muffins!" and then I delivered the other to my mom and stepdad who said "Oh, the consolation prize." I wonder how the two sides will ever reconcile. I've had good friends unfriend and block one another, and other who have left FB altogether. I'm just saddened and surprised and stunned.

Agreed with Alice & NJDebbie. Is so important to fight for freedom and to speak up and protect others against injustice. It's all we can do, but it is a lot.
I hadn't thought about it, but it's probably easier to deal with having young kids. I *had to* put on a happy face last night. (Most especially because my husband was losing it. For whatever reason, the men in my life seem to be reeling even more than the women).

Butterscotch, well said, and so sadly true.

I do wonder though at the accusation that the election was "fixed" for HRC. Umm, she lost. If the election had been "fixed" for her, wouldn't she have won?

Now we must concern ourselves with fighting the pro-choice battle all over again. I'm incredulous. Global warming? Doesn't exist, according to the moron.
