How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[AvidFan]

Thank you. Yeah I am. Just concerned about surviving financially with all the tariff stuff. I don't think our leaders realize how few resources many of us have and how even minor cost increases can hit us.

I am deeply concerned too, from a distance. I hope it doesn't impact on you too badly, it's astonishing that when the prices go up certain people will still find a way to blame someone other than whose fault it actually is, and for some absurd reason think that the person doing all this actually cares about their lives.

I think they know and understand, but they are saying propaganda in public to keep the wool over everyone’s eyes. The cruelty is a feature, not a bug.

It’s called divide and conquer. They stoke divisions amongst the voting public to keep us at each other’s throats. This way each side thinks the other is at fault, not realizing that it’s the oligarchy controlling everything behind the scenes.

Until we realize that this is a class war, not a culture war, the richest 5-6 people in the world will continue to amass more wealth, where it will be hoarded rather than circulated in the economy.

I think they know, like leaders everywhere, they just don't care about the average person.

In UK people are on their knees but the Labour government is going ahead with more cuts to welfare. And they're supposed to be the better of the two evils...

I've been a bit overwhelmed today. Just trying to get through.

 

[Windhover]

I've been scraping along and not getting out for my runs. That has to change today. I have some work to do today so that is good. I feel overwhelmed by the shameful, horrid political crap and want to tell everyone that although I am living here now, it doesn't mean I agree with the person who ostensibly leads this country.

 

[AvidFan]

I would never associate you with all of that @seabird

Yeah, I don't live in the US, but it must be a bit mental to be there at the moment with everything that is going on.

I don’t feel racial or gender or “cultural” solidarity anymore, not since I started paying attention and stopped blindly taking in whatever information was fed to me. All I feel now is class solidarity.

I am tired....of everything. Tired of getting older, tired of worsening health, tired of financial burdens, tired of modern technology, tired of politicians. I am so ready to leave this world. Thank goodness I am old and have limited time left. My heart breaks for the young and the world they are inheriting. I believe in some things our president doing, but seriously question many others. I can't help but think that the world is on the brink of financial collapse and world war. I wish I could go back thirty years. Seems like times were better than...or is that just a false memory.

I'm arse backwards whatever that means. Wake up feeling like shit, feel shit for the first half of the day, then work and feel fine and dandy by the time it's time to go to bed, it should really be the other way round. It's rained today and the ceilings haven't caved in yet, hopefully my new gutter is working, and the taps and toilet seem to be in good order now. And I had pizza and chocolate for supper, that makes it a good day!

Cat is not eating. I took her to the vet today and they pumped her full of liquids (she's also dehydrated) and poop softeners in case her problem is constipation. After coming home she ate a tablespoon of food and has been sleeping since. She is 16 yo so maybe it is her time but I choose to fight for her since she can't. I can't take much time out of work either to take her to the vet tomorrow, but i will try.

I didn’t know it was that bad. I wonder if it’s fallout from Brexit.

I also am routinely apologizing to people on social media who disclose their citizenship to be in an allied country (at least up until now). I’m just as baffled as everyone else.

Its 2:30 am. I am worried about quite a bit. But what does worry do anyway?

My health, the state of the US right now, drama where I live, it's never ending.

Felt stupid awhile ago. Cried, and I feel a bit better now

My trip to Belgium has been so good to me. The weather is amazing (sunny and warm), and I left all my worries in England (except the husband, I do miss him :p). No worries about cleaning or cooking, and I sleep so much better.

I have a new doctor (ob/gyn) and she's just perfect. I did some walking in the sun, some light shopping (mostly art supplies), saw my amazing friends and we had great conversations... I ate Belgian fries and Belgian waffles. I discovered new parts of my city, but also passed by my high school and went nostalgic. People on the street and in shops have been particularly kind. Even my parents seem to be doing a little better than I expected. And of course, last but not least, I met my super cute baby god-daughter. I held her a lot and loved every second of it. ♡

I slightly hate that my country has gone from hell to heaven for me now.

Too much shit going on inside of me which I need to get out of my chest
