Stomach churning day

I’ve been dreading today but it’s finally here. It’s so easy now to appreciate how good Obama was as president when I know how everything is descending into hell at a rapid pace. I finally changed my Facebook avatar today to a totally black image, per the suggestion of the Scientist. It’s a simple reminder of how dark a day it is for the world. I’m not sure how long I will keep that up there but it might be a while. After all, it took over a year to remove the image of our cat who died in November 2015.

In the past I often avoided posting about too much political stuff on Facebook but I decided I was going to do exactly what some of my family and a very few of my friends have done. I am going to post constantly about things that man is doing and why I think it’s wrong. The main difference will be that I won’t be posting a bunch of crap…which is what I call most of the fake news that was share with me over the past years. And I’ve been trying to post lots of Obama positive articles because that’s how I feel. I know he wasn’t a perfect president but he was pretty good as most of them go. And he was and still is very classy in the face of all the garbage he faced. I suspect he’d have been better had he not faced the onslaught of right wing America/world.

Normally I would stay up to watch the inauguration but I will be giving it a miss this time around. There is no way I want to acknowledge Trump as president in any way, even after he is sworn in. I know it’s going to happen but I just can’t stomach it.

Anyway, I’m meeting the Scientist in the city after he finishes work and we are planning to head to Fremantle for the latter part of the afternoon to partly escape from reality and also to enjoy some yummy food. I’m mostly looking forward to going to Gabriels, a chocolateria of sorts which has some amazingly good ice cream made with their homemade chocolate.
