I took myself of my medication about 6 months ago because I was tired of feeling gray. I made a mistake.

I yearn to live in uninteresting times.

I woke up. I put my pants on. I had my coffee. I went fishing and caught breakfast.
How much do you value the principles you believe in?
For me, all the value in my life is what I believe in, my children and their future.
I will continue the good fight, because there is no other option.
I love you guys. Take your day.
Eat some chocolate, if that’s your thing.
Wrap up in your blanket, if that’s your thing.
Do absolutely nothing, if that’s your thing.
Scream into the bathroom wall, if that’s your thing.
When you are ready, put your pants on, crank the radio up with your favorite hype music and fight for what you believe.
There’s no other option.

I did some gungfu today. Felt good. Then I tore into my brother in law when he started bragging about the election results. Also felt good!

Start in your corner of the world and find opportunity to make it kinder.

I try. And all its gotten me is taken advantage of and misery.
“Just ask for help if you need it.”
I swallow my pride and ask.
Get told I need to figure it out on my own.
Kindness is code for ‘weak’ in my corner of the world, it seems. I’m just so tired. No plans to quit - not even a brief consideration. I won’t quit, but I don’t want to play any more.

I’m disappointed but not surprised. Currently going through my FB friend list and unfollowing or unfriending people who are crowing about the election. Of special interest is the guy who’s been my friend since 7th grade, who has asked me for emotional support numerous times over the years (including this past year). And last week he went on the ugliest rant I’ve seen. About people like me and people I love 
Maybe he’s not really my friend. Maybe I’m just a friend to him, because friends don’t talk like that about people they care about. I’m done.
If anyone needs to talk, I’m around.

One of my fondest Wildstar memories was when they released a bunch of Back to the Future inspired, but legally distinct, cosmetics. My favorite of which was the “Slacker” title. I miss that title so much.
I got up today, got dressed, dropped my husband off at his work and cried all the way to mine. I don’t want to be around people, but I know I need to be. I have depression, anxiety and a dissociative disorder. If I take one day to hide, it will undermine everything I’ve done over the past two years to get to this level of functionality. I will not allow anyone, or group of anyones, to take that from me.
But today is about me, and letting myself have room to be scared, upset, and angry. Tomorrow is about everyone else. Particularly those who are vulnerable and those who will be targeted. I will fight. I am fight. It is all I know.

Love each an every person here. Please never stop fighting for a better future where you can. I know it sucks, it’s rough and it’s not what anyone wanted.
Just take care of yourselves out there.

Sadly never got to see Ozzy. Dokken was awesome.
Santana was really great in concert.
Jerry Cantrell opened for him and was pretty good also.

Oooooh, Santana. I imagine it was great. The only OG’s I can claim getting to see in concert were Robert Plant and Jimmy Page when they toured about 20 years back or so. It was phenomenal. They both had good nights - not always the case with them. I felt very privileged. I also got to see Sir Elton. He was amazing. He played all his old stuff, and the concert lasted over 2 hours.

Daaamn! Plant, Page AND Elton!
My most memorable concert was Metallica. They came through on the St. Anger album. That night they played that album in its entirety. Wasn’t bad but everybody came hoping to see them play their early stuff. They didn’t even do an encore, at first.
Concert ended, they left the stage and the lights came up. People started leaving pissed and in droves. Twenty minutes later, the lights went down and Hetfield says, “Now we know who the real fans are!” They played another hour and a half taking requests from those of us left mainly in the front row.
Effin’ EPIC!

I was very surprised that Trump won the popular vote as well as the electoral college. Honestly I thought Harris would get in for sure!
Ah well. To quote Australia’s oldest meme; “Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest!”
If nothing else I’m glad Harris had the good grace to concede gracefully rather than throw a temper tantrum like a certain toddler did last election haha.

It’s incredible how fast my brain went into 2016 survival mode, though circumstances are not the same and there is genuine danger for many people right now. I’m grateful to have that prior lived experience but I genuinely was hoping it didn’t need to be called upon.
Take care of yourselves, WrA.
