Is Anyone Else Still Exhausted From The Last Eight Years? [View All]

[berni_mccoy]

I know I am. I'm tired all the time. It feels like a great weight has been lifted, but now, the stress is melting, I seem always tired.

I am used to staying up late. I stay up until 2 am every night in order to make sure our boys' blood sugars are in range (they both have type-1 diabetes). My wife picks things up for them between 5 and 6 am if needed. So, while I've been doing this crazy schedule for the last 4 years since my oldest was diagnosed, I have never been as tired as I have been after this election.

Is anyone else feeling this? I feel like such a lurker here lately, I haven't had the energy to even post anything original. I'm hoping with the coming holidays we'll have a better look at what needs doing in the coming years. We're going to need even more energy to undo all the bullshit chaos the Republicans have wreaked. I'm just so damn relieved they aren't in charge anymore that I never realized until now how much mental and emotional energy we have poured into turning our country around.
