I feel like I'm having a delayed reaction. It is the next stage of grief and all I want to do today is cry.

I had been thinking about the tarot lately - wanting to get back into pulling a card each day and see what that might tell me. Today's:

Thanks.

I think us Brits can identify a lot of what you are going through re our own superb own goal - Brexit. Things have calmed down a bit and we are still in the teething stages of trying to sort things out.

Saying that, I think I went inot a bit of shock yesterday, waking to find that there is a madman at the helm. People are angry about this, but from what I have seen on my own newsfeed, many US citizens are standing up for other people's rights and will not be bowed by this. They will strive to make peace and promote love - hopefully others will follow suit.

Will just have to wait and see how it goes. Nothing big I can do about it. I can keep talking peacefully though, I guess, about the good stuff - hoping to make the world a better place - not so selfish. Try to be open minded. There are plenty of good people who were duped by Trump.

I think it's good to let the sadness out and not bottle it up.

In your personal life, though, you have good prospects!

If anyone wants to 'fit in' at the doctor's, it's not unusual to have to wait an hour to be fitted in around other patients. That's why I always prefer an appointment.

It is sadness and fear and helplessness. Maybe in the big cities it is different but there is still a lot of prejudice around here. I was hoping for the country to make more progress but I think it is going to go backward with Trump at the helm. The Christian Right is scary and hateful.

I guess I still have residual anger that Sears didn't get this right in the first place so waiting an hour was annoying to me. And I knew that it would only take 2 minutes to correct it. I called for an appointment but fitting me in was what the girl I talked to wanted to do. I think she doubted me when I told her the prescription was wrong and thought she could correct my glasses herself before I needed to get in to see the doctor. And I'm still angry at them that they didn't properly make an appointment for Dave to see a specialist about his macular degeneration - they really messed that up. Maybe i'm looking at things to be annoyed about.

I think it is different in the big cities. In my country, it is more backward in the country areas. The Christian Right in your country (thankfully I don't hear too much from there here) IS downright hateful and scary.

I can see you have a lot to be angry with with your optometrist's. Maybe it's time for a change?
