And the news is not good...

 First, the major news history has been made in the wrong direction. Everyone of sound mind and logical thinking are reeling, crying, afraid for their lives and lives of their families and friends. It was a devastating thing to see so much red, like blood spreading across the map of our country in an unthinkable situation.

It almost feels like the people in my neighborhood and elsewhere seems to think that this was some sort of popularity contest. A reality sow that they'll get to choose the next contestant or the same one in another four years. It isn't.

It isn't going to be just four years, if the  Orange Menace has his way, he will make it so he will always be in charge and if he can't, others will take his place including his children. We are in a very dire situation as a country and the world. Ripples in a pond, reaching out and bouncing off the farthest shores to return and create more havoc and chaos.

This is the dystopia we all feared would happen and tried desperately to warn people, but they didn't listen. We are now in a death spiral and by we, meaning the world. As policies are made and pacts are made with other despotic governments we will be living in fear for many years to come and it makes me cry.

There is nowhere that will be safe. I found out that in my own complex alone, if you aren't Republican and Christian/JW or otherwise you aren't any good. Which we kind of figured out before so needless to say we won't be attending any Thanksgiving pot luck they might be planning.

Now in my own personal circle, I got word back from the doctor, not personally but message through the health app:

"Thyroid biopsy shows mildly abnormal findings, further testing is pending. Endocrinology e-consult placed for further recommendations. "

That's all I know. I don't know how much 'mildly abnormal' is and further testing is likely on the samples taken not for taking more samples. So will have to wait likely another week if there's more testing involved. Oh and I do owe $20 for the biopsy procedure.

Annnd on top of all that it is allergy season for me. Santa Ana winds kicked up overnight and it's full blown dry wind from the desert right now. Nose and eyes are alternately weeping and stuffy and itchy. I am resisting using antihistamines primarily because it took almost six months for my eyes to stop watering from the drying out last time. 

So I am going to look for the helpers, see if we can start forming resistance groups and helping groups somehow but being in a pocket of Red right now it's difficult.
