My cheeks hurt from all the smiling I’ve done in the past 59 minutes. I’m so going to miss this show!
The writing was so fun all the way through.
Now you two – would you start dating in real life??

    I’m currently physically exhausted from my boxing class (the teacher went insane today), and I will soon be emotionally spent because I made the mistake of turning on the news when I got home and now 15 minutes in I’m so enraged that I will need all the fluff to return myself to a state of equilibrium. And possibly ice cream.

      I hear you @snarkyjellyfish, oh how I understand!
      After reading the news all I could do was watch this show to temper my rage and sadness and anger….
      Maybe I should find a boxing class too. Or go buy some diapers and children’s clothes.
      honestly…………………
      Oh, and ice cream?

        I commented to someone this morning that I’m pretty sure the reason I no longer bother with eyeliner anymore is because the news makes me cry or at least tear up on a daily basis. (I usually watch in the morning before caffeine kicks in to temper the rage.)

        Ice cream helps too. And chocolate. And hitting things really hard. Like really really hard.

          Believe me, I’m with you – except for the eyeliner part – I stupidly watched Rachel Maddow last night and felt so much shame and anger for this country. But at least the lawyer said that some of the agents working at the border are also traumatized by what they are forced to do.
          And that is only yesterday’s news…
          In the morning I wake up to NPR – and that is all the news I can stand. Then I go back to kdrama land until I get to work and put it all out of my head – for an hour or so.
          Know that you are not alone- we need an anger room somewhere… I don’t want to cut down any trees, but knocking down one that was already dead would be helpful.
          hang in there…

            I watch Rachel every morning to the point where my friend and I refer to her by just her first name as if we know her. I love her, and I think her reporting is spot on and she often is talking about things months before anyone else is. That doesn’t make any of this any easier but right now in particular is especially atrocious and sometimes I honestly don’t know if I have the emotional and mental energy to even be enraged anymore and yet…how can you not be? We are living through something we should never have to have seen again (though, let’s be fair, this isn’t something new in America). It probably doesn’t help that my job deals with these kinds of things too; but at least there I can do something. I still can’t even decide if I want to watch the debates this week. I haven’t really been watching much drama, just TSLOMS and WWW.

            “It seems like a good thing to be watching while hitting things with a hammer.”
            yep, that does kind of sum it up.

            that, or clean out the refrigerator and throw stuff in the garbage and wipe everything else down.

            Hit or clean things…

            both work! 😉

            True story: I watched coverage of the second 2016 presidential debate while cleaning off my stove, and I got grime off that I thought was basically cooked into it. The stove was actually white again. It may have been cleaner than when I moved in.

            @snarkyjellyfish haha! I know what you mean!
            I remember one time cleaning my stove and afterwards realized that when it was sparkling I felt so much better. Yes, cleaning can be helpful as well.
            Watched several snippets of the debate this morning and am almost sad I missed it.
            almost.
            Still haven’t decided if I’m going to watch tonight’s debate.
            You are lucky that working in the legal field, that you can help make some change to people’s lives. Good for you!

          Just everything in the news lately – but especially what is happening on the American border right now.

            All the rest is bad enough – but the news from the border right now is particularly appalling, shameful and sad.
            but – it’s Mueller time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

            “[A]ppalling, shameful and sad” doesn’t even begin to cover it. That they even tried to justify brown kids being forcibly removed from their guardians and being placed in conditions that are human rights violations for no reason, well…there’s a special hell waiting for them.

            The Mueller news broke in the middle of Rachel’s show as I was watching last night and I’m going to be on pins and needles for the next three weeks. I really hope I don’t have anything major due that day because…it’s not gonna happen.

            I’m with you about watching the debates tonight and tomorrow.
            Frankly I’d rather watch a grumpy/glorious dancer and cute/silly angel, AND badass women blasting cars with baseball bats at this point.

            But when Mueller testifies………………………….

            @stpauligurl I think I may have the debates on as background noise while I finally put my artwork up on the walls of my place. I’ve needed to do this for months but was waiting for the last piece of furniture. It seems like a good thing to be watching while hitting things with a hammer. Also, can’t read subs while moving around and trying not to smash my thumbs.
