I will not watch

[TNNurse]

I will not celebrate.

I will not cheer.

I will worry and I may pray which I do not usually do.

I have never been so worried in my almost 68 years. This is scarier than being told you have cancer. This is scarier than being told your husband has cancer.

This is scarier than 9/11, than Oklahoma City, than the Bay of Pigs.

There are people in my life who I am glad did not live to see this deterioration in our great country.

1. I stopped watching the national news programs in November.

2. I agree

I have had cancer, so I will say November 9th was the closest I've been to feeling the same as the day I was told I have cancer. Five year anniversary tomorrow - weird.

3. My five years is later this year

My husband just got through one year with clean scans.

I used to say, " I survived cancer, you can't scare me"....I was wrong.

8. I called in sick the day after the aberration on November 9th.

I had to do it. Sometimes you just hafta have a mental day. It was on parallel with 9/11/01 for me emotionally.

9. My 5 years is up in May. I can say also that this election was almost as terrifying

as my diagnosis. Not quite, but . . . damn. I'm 65 and there's a very good chance I will not live to see the back of this asshole. And even if I do see that, the damage that will have been done -- I just feel like crying.

4. Part of my "no watching" plan this weekend included spending a lot of time on DU this weekend.

But, judging from the threads describing tonight's events, my "DU plan" this weekend might not be possible. Think about that for a second ?

6. There will be a lot of great threads tomorrow on the protests.

The protests are a bigger story than the Cheeto.

5. At Centennial Park in Nashville there will be a gathering

Tomorrow where we will sit in silence at 11:00 and then at 11:10 we'll read the Declaration of Independence and then sing the National Anthem.

7. Right on.

This is the worst!
