I was wrong

[cornerofmadness]

I'm anxious as hell and depressed about this election so far. On the plus side my internet is 98% dead so I can't get more breaking news about how many people have voted for a woman hating racist and his monstrous VP choice.

I wanted to share a picture of me as I voted wearing Grandma Joan's necklace and Grandma Santy's pin and ring (all my shots with the ring are blurred) and either Grandma's rhinestone earrings or Aunt Loretta's. And for anyone else wanting to share their ancestors jewels (as many wore them in honor of having a viable female candidate) there's a tumblr here. http://theirjewels.tumblr.com/ I can't get the pic to upload.


I'm trying to write but my brain is eaten up by stress. I will try to come back and update the word count etc.

12020 / 50000 words. 24% done!

Nano snippet Solan straightened up as the grave opened in its center. The phallic pole center in most of the passage graves reflected her light, showing its symbols, its entreaty to the Mother Goddess to look favorably on it and welcome the souls laid to rest here back to her heavens. Tucked on shelves carved into the rock were clay pots bearing remains. Some even had jewelry, weapons and tools, the latter two in miniature, resting next to the pots in honor of the dead. None of them showed signs of having been disturbed. A brownish stain discolored the stone near the pole. She suspected it was Camristy's blood.

I can't say I didn't expect it, because I did, but I'd really hoped there'd be a turnaround and Clinton would win.

How are you (other the obvious scarred and depressed).

I don't even know how I feel about the disgusting turn of events except extremely anxious.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I'm with you anxious, afraid. pissed off.

Health wise, shitty, that describes it.

But it's nice to hear from you. I was just telling my class last week I was worried about my friend with Chron's (as that was the topic in pathophys that day) as I hadn't heard from you in a while (and I'm not sure if I told you my brother's ulcerative colitis was actually chron's like the rest of the family is, which makes sense in light of the fact we just learned we're basically a quarter Jewish and there is a strong genetic prediliction for the disease in that population).

How have you been?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Ditto. Honestly that she lost SO many states was a shock to me

Yeah, been shaking my head over this turn of events, ahhhhh. x_x Some part of me think maybe we'll be ok (my dad said Trump will have advisers, but please please please have them keep him in check), other part of me is still hate this country, bleh.

Exhausted. I likely have an adrenal dysfunction, but the best test (saliva) is not one doctors are willing to do, since the FDA doesn't like it.

1/4 Jew! Well, no wonder you're so cool. 8-)

Sorry to hear about your brother. Although neither disease is a picnic.

Don't want to depress you further, but currently his pics are people just as insane as his is.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

tell me about it. My brother, a hard core republican isn't speaking to me at the moment when I pointed out how racist and misogynistic Trump (and worse Pence is, frankly I don't want anything to happen to Trump because Pence is far more evil). and now he's mad that I called him a racist (No, I said trump is...)

and my neighbors threatened us if we didn't vote trump. I hate where I live so much right now.

I started posting on facebook (robin necker bickel if you're interested) and my tag line is "If you voted for trump you're either deplorable or an idiot. take your pick."

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hmmm it says that name doesn't exist. I'm D.M. Evans there

and yeah no kidding

oh and the neighbor who threatened us beat up his wife last night. big surprise

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh geez. Yeah I'm a mess myself.

I know, right? A couple years back we found that my great grandparents came over on a ship that was listed entirely as Hebrew passengers and we thought that odd so started digging. We didn't know he had been Jewish. We have no idea if he married a Catholic woman and converted or converted out of persecution and fear or a little of both.

I'm so with you there.

When they said at 10 a.m. - before everyone could possibly have voted in IN - that IN had voted for Trump, I was not shocked, except in that they decided at 10 a.m. that Trump won the state.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

His picks scare me in general, having lived with Pence forever here in Indiana.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh geez

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that was irritating, to say the least.

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

that's because it's robin becker bickel not necker

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

That would explain it. I've got you now.
