Where do I put this fear and sadness.

Really I don't know.  Just don't know. I'm Jewish.  My daughter, brother-in-law, two nieces, many of my cousins and extended family are people of color. Where is this madness going? Where will it end? I've been listening to music songs which make me cry. Why you ask?  Because I need it as a cathartic release. Crying my eyes out right now to

It's overwhelming right now.

I am so angry. SO ANGRY.

Last night "protestors" pulled down a confederate statue here and even though we are this little progressive haven in the midst of all this red hate, all the crazies have come out today.

I wish I had words of wisdom. I'm sorry.

This has definitely been one of the worst days since 11/9.

All of this is disheartening,  sad, scary, embarrassing, horrifying......  so many sleepless nights.  I feel like my shirts should say " I'm not a trump loving racist asshole, and you?".  I don't know where to put it either.  I'm having a hard time in personal family matters the last two years.  Under President Obama, I didn't have this extra backwards racist running my beautiful country into the depths of a hell I don't believe in thing though.  With 45?  I have so much worry and fear for my fellow humans as well as everyday personal worries.  Like we all do.

Idk.  I'm rambling.  And it truly is 45's fault.  FN nazi love, really???!!!

      I was returning a blu-ray last week and walked in the door to hear a guy screaming about "that crazy bitch."  Then security hustled him out the door.  The kids aren't allowed to run or yell either.  It's surprising they are maintaining some standards.

      The most tense place I have ever been is a Holocaust Museum where several people were being disrespectful and a brawl broke out right next to me. This was maybe the 3rd HM we have visited. I told my husband that’s enough. No more of those. I know what happened and have seen enough. 

      I work at a library and I can tell you that no one behaves the way they used to, especially the kids. We are supposed to let them just be themselves, meanwhile sometimes it is a circus. I'm so glad I don't work in the public area anymore because it used to get me so angry. If you let them run around and do what they want, how are they going to behave elsewhere? And what will happen when they get older? How can they learn? Now, I'm not saying we need absolute silence but there are people who are trying to study and like the library as a quiet and peaceful place.

      The worst case of this was at Anne Franks house 2 years ago. Everyone respectfully murmurs - same as in a library. A group of high school aged children were running through the rooms and watching stuff on mobile phones with the volume on. Not one teacher said anything. They were there! 
      A few visitors did have a word with them. Things didn’t improve though.

      Whatever the results were for the recent scan...if it was showing the cancer shrinking to nothing, they'd be shouting the good news from the rooftops, right? 

      My recent experiences with MRI were that the results were read by the radiologist and posted in the patient portal within a day or two and I assume other scans would be equally speedy.
