Am I the only one who is feeling their "I can't take much more of this bullshit" cross over from

the news to their daily life? I have very little patience for anything these days. Each day is another layer of outrages and lies.

I have never had much patience anyway. Suffering these fools and the drip, drip, drip of proof of what we already know happened is just agonizing.

Just me venting. Feel free to join in.

in the last couple of days a minor hassle has upset me much more than it should, and it occurred to me that I'm way more stressed out than usual. I'm normally calm but lately I'm pretty wound up. The bullshit is getting to me.

Lately, I have been noticing my fuse growing shorter. Especially with people that I know to be republicans, even though we have agreed not to discuss politics while in each other's company.

I am normally pretty even-keeled, and I can control my actions pretty well but I get so irritated so easily these days. It has definitely changed me for the worse.

Now I have crossed over to numb and past that to "Gotta get things done." I've spent the last three days on the phone, getting a clean up company, electrician, and other pros lined up to sort things out.

Actually the Donald Jr fiasco has been humorously relieving - they are so inept at lying it's almost funny. Then the Katie Tur narrated handshake this afternoon was wonderful:

Some said there seemed to be an uptick with the flag-waving, super patriotism etc. amid the obvious chaos POtuS45 is causing. I went to my brother's house on a beautiful lake and while I enjoyed the fireworks, the friendly people and especially the food, I had to sit there for a few minutes and think "WTF is wrong with these people? They act like we are living in nirvana with their man in the WH leading us to glory. They must be living in their magic bubble where nothing bad penetrates their comfortable lives.

It gets worse with each passing day. I feel like I'm stuck in a never-ending nightmare from hell that is never going to get better. I just feel helpless
