i think i might be getting the flu, or else hallucinating. but i feel hot and achy and my stomach is really bothering me and you probably don't want to know any more details. i took my temperature and i do not have a fever, but i still feel really hot. being sick sucks, and i am sick a fricking lot. i realize this is a job hazard, but about 85% of ( Read more... )

 CNN just called it and i literally started bawling! anyone who thinks this is just about politics is DELUSIONAL. this is HISTORICAL! the greatest day i have ever experienced in america.

(it is too dark to do it now.) i feel mildly bad for the cat, because i am leaving him in the apartment, but i visit every day and he is well ( Read more... )
