After the election and for about a week after, I had a cold. The first 3 days were worst of all, with a fever and nausea. I tested for COVID, in case that came back, but I was negative. Then I just was sniffly with a runny nose and sore throat for a few more days. I hate colds in general, but on top of the disappointing election, it made the mourning more sucky.
Still, we have to pick ourselves up and continue as we did in 2016. Maybe make the most of life before January comes. We can fight on, but maybe have a little rest and break to restore our energy. Why wallow in following news about his garbage cabinet picks when we have four years to deal with that chaos? Enjoy Thankgsiving and Christmas before he ruins our economy with tariffs. Celebrate the wins we did get like new Black senators and abortion rights legislation. Even in Texas, it appears we defeated a horrid ordinance in Lubbock to ban travel for abortion.
And celebrate the mass exodus from Twitter to Bluesky. I even got an account too, though I haven't posted anything yet. I'm still sporadic on my Substack.
In other news, my refrigerator is really dying now, not like last time. It started with the freezer not working and all my ice cream melting. I suppose there could be a repair option, but the fridge itself is many years old and it's not worth keeping. I had hoped it would survive longer, but I guess it's close enough to Black Friday sales. I'm having a new one installed on Monday.
