I heard "The President issued an Executive Order" this afternoon.

I was driving and the news station announced the President had signed an executive order and my first reaction was "Oh God, what the Fuck now?". Then they said it was about re-uniting children with their parents and I realized, oh yeah, that's right, Biden is the President. It's going to take me a long time to get over the past four years-it's not like writing 2020 instead of 2021 on checks. I'll get used to the fact Biden is President and craziness isn't just a tweet away. I'm sure the involuntary twitches will stop soon too.

1. I know this feeling so well! 🤣

2. He issued 3 orders re immigration.

All of them were good and essential to erase
the stain of Trump's orders, as Biden put it.

3. Feels good to breathe again doesn't it! I feel like I'm just getting over a

Trump Rash! No more itching for a fight with the Cultists.

4. I'm with you...

10. The "oh yeah" part was actually a very nice feeling.

Good thing I didn't drive off the road into a snow bank.

5. Happened to me a lot since Jan 20

6. I know, I still do that sometimes.

Like, Jebus Christ, WTH is he doing now.

Then it hits me Joe is in office.

7. Two weeks tomorrow

I'm right there with you. I kind of wish they'd call him "President Biden" for a little while until we get used to it.

And I wish they'd just call trump "trump". No title. He never deserved a title.

8. My mind and body are in the process of healing

and I know I can't and won't forgive and forget the multiple crimes and actions over the past 5 years. I no longer fear turning on the TV news. I can turn it on and can breathe. Lots of little moments like this lately...it feels like such a relief.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. Yup. When I hear a news report that starts with "the White House" or

"the president," I flinch a little bit and immediately think "Oh, what the fuck has he done now?" until I remember that Biden is the president and whatever he just did would be a good thing. And then I am so happy and relieved.

11. We need a PSA:

"Your President is no longer trying to kill you, your friends, or your neighbors, neither deliberately nor through ignorance. Relax; Joe's got this."

12. We have been all

suffering from PTSD, and the best thing WE VOTED and saved ourselves.

13. The Great Unclenching has begun.

15. Sort Of The Opposite For Me

Since inauguration I feel relieved that I don't have to get up each morning and say "Now what?!?!?"
So, hearing that on the radio wouldn't register that way.
Similar sentiment, different angle!

16. Definitely nowhere near as angry anymore

The last year in particular had me on edge. I'm sure I'm not alone there. But you are definitely right, no more waking up every morning wondering "Now what?"

[TNNurse]

17. My husband is always up before me watching the news.

I am beginning to not be tense when I walk in and see what they are saying.

It will take a little time.
