Anticipating being heartsick.

[cali]

I'm a mess. I'll admit it. I've worked on marriage equality in Vermont for over ten years. Ok, lots of years off, but I'm madly invested in it- emotionally, intellectually and even financially.

I think today is going to be close, but no cigar when it comes to overturning that nasty little creep's veto. Now partly, that's just being self-protective. I don't want to have my hopes up only to have them dashed. That's even worse than expecting to lose.

In VT history there have been 145 vetoes and only 6 overrides. That's just the way things work.

It's a miserable grey day here, drizzly with a lowering sky and mist twisting through the trees. I'm off to make phone calls again to each of the ten dems who voted against marriage equality. All I'll do today is beg.
