Day 1: Sad & exhausted, took a personal day. Thought about shaving my head. (Didn’t.) Day 2: Wore all black funeral attire to work and avoided Rs as much as possible. Rage present all day, just below the surface. Day 3: Wore all black clothes (now ongoing, silent protest). Called an R friend who voted against T. (She’s an old-school fiscal conservative, not a crazy, hateful R.) Somehow made me feel better. I know the real battle lies ahead. Let’s save our energy & preserve our mental health.
