28. I want to do self care, hence the 2 days off a week from the media.

Sep 2019

However, I have no intention of stopping what I try to do to stop this shit show from continuing. I work for candidates I like, local, state and national. I will support our nominee no matter who it is, I may have to hold my nose but I will vote for him or her. I have a sign in my yard that says "Any Sane Adult in 2020", it has been stolen twice and vandalized once, but I just keep having them made so they may get me down but they will not defeat me!

We have to GOTV, we have to stop bickering and stop going after already seated Democrats. This damn litmus test of whether or not I'm a democrat is nuts! Yes damnit I am a democrat, have been one my whole damn life. May not be YOUR kind of Democrat but I can bet I've been one longer than some people who challenge me.

We have to get together, we either hang together or we most certainly will hang separately, a quote I said was Ben Franklin, but I may have been wrong about that one.

I am watching old West Wing DVD's this week on my two days off. No worries, I will hang in there, just needed to vent !
