found myself weeping several magnitudes too much as I watched. I've just felt so fragile. So tired of this shit, so sick of that orange asshole and his death merchants.

I am so sorrowful for the people who died with no family with them.

I anguish for the family that could not be with their loved ones as that passed from this world.

I am so grateful for the medical professionals and staff; nurses doctors, LPN's and othe hospital personnel who keep the hospitals running, who are risking their lives and yes some of them dying to care for the patients.

I am thankful for the grocery store staff, who tries to keep the shelves stocked and the cashiers who checks us out with merely a plexiglass shield to protect them from all the customers they see each day.

And there are so many others who are on the front lines, EMT's Firefighters, Police, News Reporters etc.

I am thankful for the thousands of citizens across this country who are volunteering (for the most part) at Food Banks, Food Pantries and Shelters for the Homeless. They are doing a wonderful service for their fellow citizens who are less fortunate

But I'm also filled with loathing for the despicable human being occupying the White House. Who has no cares for anyone except himself. Whose biggest concern is getting reelected and how good his ratings are for his worthless daily self promoting briefings.

So at this point I just have no capacity to cry. I wish I could. But I'm also afraid if I started I wouldn't be able to stop.
