Daily Ooo's: Wednesday, November 9

[faerywings]

Just popping on to open the thread. I woke up around midnight to use the bathroom and checked my phone for any election updates. I scrolled through headline after headline in horror. I am giving myself 24 hours to wallow and worry.
i am just a *bit* freaked out./s Markets have tanked and my kids have to use their Mutual Funds to pay for college. We live on one Disability payment. We rely on Social Service. The majority of Cait's friends are in the LGBT community. All I can say is what now??

I am going to continue to wallow and process. I will try to come back later with silly puppy pictures or something.

On a "funny" note, when I woke up at 12am, Gary was watching TV and I told him thatI was def. buying my Box O Wine on my way home from food shopping. And thatI might need to buy another one the day after. He told me to line up early, there might be a run at the liquor stores. :twitch:

Morning gals!! Well what can I say?? I don't really believe it!! That's all I should say or I will get into trouble and be banned forever!!

How many of my USA friends are thinking of moving to Canada now?? My son told me that we should all move to New Zealand LOL. I said don't go without me!! He is worried about the Stock Market also as he has some investments. No sense worrying about it just yet, not much you can do anyway, the world will have to wait and see what happens for sure!

Chris - Yes you had best stock up on that wine!! You might be needing more than you think LOL. I hope that this election did not make your sleep even worse, I woke up a couple of times thinking about what was going to happen to your Health Care system now?? The only thing that I can hope for all of you is that Trump does at least some kind of good for your country. Hold on tight its going to be a very bumpy ride!!!

Well I better get some breakfast and another cup of coffee! Meeting my sister downtown later this afternoon, I haven't had a chat with her for a while so it will be good to see her again! Other than that it is far to wet and rainy to go for a hike today. I am a fair weather hiker and don't like getting soaked and chilled to the bone, so it will be a good day to catch up around here today too! I hope that everyone has relaxing day!! :wave:

morning - still stunned by the results. I can only hope that Trump figures out how to bring the US together. I listened to what they have on their agenda and I will see what happens. And yes the markets are not responding well. I was at my hockey game and the Devils won in a SO so that was exciting. To me the most exciting was just how interested my son was in the election results. I am so proud of him for voting. In fact all the boys voted. I was so busy yesterday that I did not even open my computer after the Daily Doos. But my house looks good so that makes me happy. And I have stuff to make dinner so happy about that too! Luther and I had a great walk and we met another German Shepherd Magnum and they ran for a few mins and had fun. He pulls a lot in the beginning of the walk because he is in a hurry to see Jackson but then he slows down. Problem is I need him to be slower in the beginning too LOL.

Chris I guess we still have to remember the US is our country and it has survived many crisis.

Trudy you do not have to shut your mouth my son needs a good talking too! Hope swimming went well. Glad Boston made your DH happy!

Rae so sorry about the technical problems. It makes life so good when working and so bad when not! I am sure your clients will understand. glad the walk and decadent treat helped put the events in proper perspective!

Cindy and Jean hi!

Have a great day all!

Man, I had some rough conversations with the kids this morning. They agreed, we are allowed to be angry and fearful but tomorrow is another day.
But I do have puppy pictures!

Good morning, ladies. What a night. I'm not an American but I was horrified by the results last night. I'm not going to talk anymore about it b/c there's no point. Soooo.....moving on. I'm still sick. I think I might be for the rest of my life. I'm not even surprised anymore when I wake up and still feel like I do...ugh. It's become the new normal for me. When I got my Rx yesterday from the doctor, she looked at me, said" ah, yes, you are sick, no worries, you will get better" and then walked out of the room. Wouldn't even look at my throat as I sat there hacking with my phlemy cough. I sure wish I could find a decent doctor out here.

Called the client and explained about the card and EHD failure. She wasn't happy but understood. I have put the EHD aside and after Xmas I may look into options for possible file retrieval but at this point I 'm not willing to spend hundreds of dollars again (as I did last month for another EHD). I was able to reload the latest client images and once I finish editing them I am finally done with photography work and will not do any more this year. I'll see how I feel in the spring, if I wish to do the occasional session, but if I feel I don't want to do any, I won't. I told my hubs last night that I am ready to give up the biz and just focus on my own photos and take more landscape/nature photos.

Today we'll be walking Ava and a few short walks with Beckham. Still lots of desk work to do and I want it all caught up by the end of the wkend, along with the editing, so that next week it will be a fresh start. One of the reasons I'm still sick may be that I haven't had time to slow down and rest and my stress level is probably higher than usual. So, next week, I'm looking forward to a slower pace.

Chris - enjoy that wine. I'd join you if I was there. How are the aches and pains? Better today?
Trudy - enjoy the visit with your sister. Bundle up, its cold and wet out there.
Nancy - so cute that Luther is excited to see his friends. Yes, that is normal, that they pull more b/c of the excitement at first, and it does get better with time, patience and training. When you start out on your walk do you keep him on a short, loosely hanging leash by your side? I'm sure your trainer is working on that with you.

Beckham is lying under my chair, right over the foot petal for my dictating machine, and snoring away LOL. He sticks to me like glue and rarely leaves my side. Usually Taz lays there off and on throughout the day as I work so he doesn't like sharing that space. Taz really loves night time when I sit in the LR to watch TV, as he will curl up at the foot of my lazy boy chair when extended and Beckham has to lay on the floor beside us. That is one spot that Beckham can't take over.

I'm going to get another coffee, turn on the work computer and get at it. Time to get this day going. Have a wonderful day, everyone.

Ah....Chris....the retriever ones look my girl Sandy. I still get a lurch in my chest when I look at a golden and it makes me think of her. Good thing Taz is so lovable and healed my heartache over losing her.

Yes tomorrow is another day and you have to hope that somehow he will do a better job than we expect and maybe even some good somehow. Just keep saying....it's only four yrs.

I am only going to say one thing---------give him a chance!!!!

Well, hiding behind the sofa yesterday didn't do any good. Still in horrified shock. Chris, thanks for the puppy pix! Every little bit helps.
