I threw up tonight. This is affecting me physically.

My poor husband had to hear me getting sick. I felt bad for him.

He says it is psycosomatic and I agree with him. I felt nauseated all day and my dinner just couldn't stay down. I tried.

hard outside to get ready for winter. It felt good to move around, work hard and the fresh air was wonderful. I stayed out as long as a could in the hope of distracting myself. Now that I’m settling in for the evening, the gloom of what happened today is falling hard on me. I know it was expected and it still feels traumatic. I might drink a little too much wine tonight. I’m sorry CTyankee...for you, for me, for women and for America.

outside and did some yardwork, varnished an outside door, took my cat to the vet for her annual, just did not turn on the tv, came here though to see what's going on. And having a few glasses of white wine, oh gave some donations to my favorite organizations, Planned Parenthood, Indivisible, and some others felt better after doing that.

Easy to say, but let's get ready for the vote, it has been a horrible 2 weeks, but it showed me how horrible and hypocritical the repigs are and how they totally forgot they serve us. We need new blood in the Congress and the ole bull's club has got to go.

I’ll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
and reflect from the mountain so all souls can see it

Then I’ll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin
and I’ll know my song well before I start singin

I have felt a tighness in my chest all day over recent events.

I could not be more disgusted with our government right now.

Memory of this surfaced today and triggered my nausea. I should have taken some Bonine anti nausea medication but I didn't. I thought I would be okay but I wasn't.

Treat yourself like the queen you are.

This is triggering AF, but they don't know shit about what they've stirred up in this country.

psychological affect on me since November 2016. Been going to counseling but, it's just one thing after another every damned day... Not sure if I'll make it to 2020!

On a personal level, the silver lining is that I think I've lost a few pounds in just three days. Not eating worth a damn and no appetite. I am sleeping better though; sleeping seems to be an escape.
