I don't like Thursday

 I cannot feel one ounce of gratitude this week, sorry. 

I don't know how much anxiety one woman can carry

 Oh I'm not alone, 67+ million Americans are in shock over the issues

I'm in shock wondering how to handle our money if a president is allowed to do whatever he wants guaranteed by supreme court. It's the end of law and order if a president is allowed to break the laws of our land and not be accountable.

I assume my rights as a woman will be revoked as I heard republican congressmen last week, saying that should happen. It's certainly on their plan written out in 904 pages in project 25. 

the plan is likely to take away everyone's vote along with the constitution and our rights  

under Biden's policies our economy flourished and recovered, infrastructure was rebuilt, our Soc. Sec. and medical care continued,  unemployment and crime hit a new low, new businesses were started, and a border plan was developed agreed upon by both parties til.... the head of the republican party ended because it would hurt his campaign, then he blamed that on vice president Harris in his ads.  

Milo seems to have torn the ACL to some degree and isn't functioning. The vet said rimadyl and rest for up to 6 weeks to see if it heals or needs surgery and we ordered the meds that chewy messed up the order. 

The weather report has gone from 80s to snow for 4 days in a row. Predictions change daily so no one really knows. DH has been shoveling an area for Milo to go out, but he can't squat easily because of the pain.

I've been beaten down with nowhere to turn and in shock.

We hope that the med works quickly for Milo. It's never easy to see our best friends struggling and uncomfortable.
Yesterday was a shocker for sure but we're slowing coming around. It's not like we have any other choice.

I live in Europe, be sure that I and many People here are in shock too. How is this possible and will the next door year bring us all? Cross our fingers for that, and keep protecting democratie.

Hugs to you, my friend. May your spirits recover despite the poitical situation. And I hope Milo feels beeter soon too.

Sara said...

I sure hope those meds work well for Milo so he is on the mend. And I'm also hoping we all can find some peace of mind with what's happening in the country right now.

Cloudia said...

Yes!

I keep wondering what the heck happened...it makes no sense to me that people don't understand this man and his minions for what they are. I am trying to focus on where my energy will need to go, to protect our rights and our freedoms and make sure that many of these changes don't happen. I am really sorry that Milo is not happy. Have the meds arrived?

I'm sorry you're so down in the dumps. I hope you can find some peace and that your health issues improve. We live in a country with checks & balances. That's a good thing to remember whether thinking about our country and our home life & health. Here's to Milo healing without the need for surgery. I've had dogs on Rimadyl and it's always helped with their pain. Give Milo a pat on the head and snuggle him to give both of you a sense of well-being. Prayers to you both.

Susie H said...

On a positive note -- no more political ads, texts, or robot calls! Yay for that and yes, I LIKE THAT! Lol!

Angela said...

May you find peace in this troubling time!

I'm so sorry about Milo, and hope the meds work for him. There's definitely too much to worry about right now, and it doesn't help when some of that worry is about our loved ones. Thinking of you!

Commiserations. I think the world is digesting this (or not - indigestion is guaranteed). I hope Milo heals quickly.
We deal with what we can control - make art even if it is dark angry art.

I understand how you feel. I'm devastated about the election but I'm trying to stay positive. I can't believe people actually fell for his lies. I'm hoping it won't be as bad as I've heard. Hope Milo feels better soon.

kathyz said...

I don't usually comment - but you have said everything I feel. :(
How could anyone choose these lies and demonstrated meanness over a chance to move on.
I'm afraid it will be worse than we expect -- his hangers-on have had time to plan.

I hope that the proper meds have been acquired and that Milo will soon be much better. Know you have been in my heart this week.Stay safe in the ice and snow this week. At least some of your CO initiative passed in the right direction. At least according to other CO friends who share our values. Take care of yourself. Know there are many who have not given up and stay hopeful.

MissPat said...

Just want to say you are not alone. While the future does look bleak, all we can do is take one day at a time and not catastrophize (I may have made that word up). I hope the meds have arrived and Milo responds to the treatment.

Hi I’m planting daffodils so I have some thing to hope for next spring

dianne said...

it will be ugly and hard and disheartening - but they published their playbook and left it out for all to see and we have really smart people who have been working on strategies to combat theirs - all is not lost ... i'm not giving up my rights, my children's and grandchildren's and great grandchild's rights without a fight - even if all i can do is post the truth...
