I'm not as crabby as I was.  😀    I got my head bit off, for no apparently reason, by a few people today..  There's something in the air.  My crabbiness was initially caused by watching the impeachment hearings.  I had to turn off the TV.  I was yelling and swearing and stomping.  It's ludicrous.  There's not even an attempt at decorum.  I want to spank several of them.  

I'm very worried about a few people I dearly love.  Their health is not good.  Novemeber is a brutal month for any health condition.  People are in pain/facing challenges/having a hard time, physically adjusting to our ensuing winter.  I, myself, feel like I'm 129.7235 years old today.

I feel bad for saying this.  There are candidates for whom I would vote. They did not make the debates.  Joe Biden cannot win the nomination.  I won't vote for him. The last thing I want is another pompous leader with a big mouth.His son should never have been involved in business dealings with foreign countries when Biden was vice president.  Elizabeth Warrn cannot beat Trump.  I like her but she's too much of an extremist.  I do like Bernie Sanders.  I don't see him winning the nomination but who knows? . I'm not voting for someone I do not support, just so we beat Trump.  I'll write in Bugs Bunny, as a protest vote, before I do. Our election is not about what's right.  It's about which side wins. The whole process disgusts me.  I want a leader who is willing to sacrifice for the greater good of all-not just America. I want one who does not care how long he or she stays in power..Right now-I don't want either side.  Each just cancels the other and nothing gets solved.  I'm in a bad mood.  I just spent a lot of time watching news.  It's made me ornery.. I'm frustarted with how much Trump can lie and his supporters accept it.  They know he's lying.  They don't care so they won't admit it.  It's very discouraging.  

I hear ya. I'm very concerned too. 🙁 I'm an American, too. Propaganda is a huge root of the problem. As you probably know, any media outlet that exists to promote one political party & demonize the other is propaganda, & it's dangerous. It's brainwashing & cult-making. Hitler couldn't have done what he did without it. Fox is the Republican propaganda & MSNBC is the Democratic. I remember when we only had the straightforward, objective journalism outlets. Maybe you know this already, but what happened was that the Reagan administration took away the 'Fairness Doctrine' that we used to have under the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Because they took that away, what I call 'Hate Radio' flourished: hotheaded hatemongers riling people up on the radio against others - followed by the start of FoxFakeNews. Then, after 50 yrs of having a Voting Rights Act (the thing that MLK, Jr was killed for achieving!) the VRA got watered down in court because Republicans basically said - 'look - we have a black president so we don't need the VRA anymore.' They just wanted the federal government to not be looking over their shoulders anymore at how they conduct elections. Trump is the result. We need the Fairness Doctrine back - and we need a new Voting Rights Act. We need America back! (P.S. - My opinion is that Not voting for a candidate opposing Don-the-Con is just giving him an extra vote.) (P.P.S. - I almost forgot: I remember consulting unbiased fact-checking sites during the last presidential election & one of them - PolitiFact dot com I think - checked to see the percent of major statements made by Trump that were partly or completely false compared to those by Hillary: It was something very close to 80% false or partly false from Trump! It was around 20% from Hillary, which is just average for politicians of any political party. They don't cancel each other out - truly they don't: Trump is Incompetent & DANGEROUS. He will Lie us into WWIII if we let him.)

I'm in a good mood despite a headache which is going on a week long.

I can relate I got a Migraine last Monday  and it wouldn't go away until Wednesday ((HUGS))   As for my current mood, I'm feeling relieved because  I'm almost done with a chaotic busy week.

I'm sorry to hear that.  I hope they stay away from you henceforth.

I'm not in a good mood but not in a bad one either.  Neutrality.  It takes effort not to get very angry when I keep up with the news.

I'm a bit nervous because I begin working for a new company this Saturday and all those "what-if's" are coming at me left and right.

May it be your best job ever.

I had a very nice Thanksgiving.  The "t-Word" only came up once.  (shh...lol)  Nobody responded.  (whew and thanks)   

I'm happy that the balloons were able to fly for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.  I was worried kids were gonna be bummed.

I'm anxious for the ritual of putting up my Christmas tree and assembling my creche. . 

I'm thankful that the lady down the hall who I helped move and is now a freind got a very good report from her oncologist.  They called it a nuisance cancer.  She did not like that, nor do I.  It is great news so thanks.

I'm ornery.  Three days of temps just above freezing and gale force wind with rain kicked off a major migraine cycle that's going on four days.

MUCh better mood today.  A very long hot shower got that cycle to break.  The weather cleared.  The Sun was out shining.  Ornery is not a mood I enjoy.
