One of the shit personal things is that we still have to get up in the morning

Gotta go to work, feed the cats, take a shower

kiss your babies for me, because I have none

I had some involuntary spasms and woke up Sergio by accident. He told me “one day at a time” and that helped me sleep

And then he woke me up with bad news and I had to tell him the same thing

Gonna stay away from a lot of news sources - I remember 2016 well and don’t want to be inundated with the “how did this happen” group

And I said to him, this is one of the shittiest things about democracy. It sucks, majorly. Everyone knows how much it’s going to suck. Maybe it has to suck more for people to wake up. We just need to be there for each other

I think another thing that helped me sleep was going like “why do I hurt so much??” And went “oh, it’s because I love my country and I’m scared for my people”

People are going to die, is the shittiest thing here. It’s another dark chapter in a history of dark chapters.

Gonna do my best to hunker down and get through it with all of you

glad to be in MA

We need to support each other

My mom is making the same “let’s move to Canada” thing and no. I’m American. We made this bed, we gotta lie in it, and I don’t run when shit gets hard. I know she isn’t seriously thinking it but I love my country even when it’s full of fascist idiots.

I’ve got people to take care of here: some of them are you guys

And yeah I’m fucking tired but I’m not uselessly angry like I was 8 years ago. I’m resigned to see out the next four years doing good in this stupid world

plz share cat pics. I think that would help a lot of people

and be careful with fires. still

thank you for being one of the only like... not completely despairing friends i've heard today, i honestly needed it

Anyway. Hugging my husband, hugging you guys. Take it slow and easy today.

I don’t have recent cat pics but here’s Sergio giving out Halloween candy with the cats

We can do this. Together take care of yourself, Allison

You too <3 you guys need me for anything you know I’m here for it

babies. the worst thing they need to worry about is mysterious ouchies, and they have you to take care of that for them

did you get a lot of kids? did any of them appreciate the cats or vice versa?

Nah we don’t get a lot of kids usually
