On the night of the election I wrote a post titled Election 2016: Completely and Utterly Devastated. It was written only minutes after the official word came down that Donald Trump would be the next President. In the last week I've felt an immense sense of loss that I can only compare to that of losing someone close to me. It appears there are many in this country who feel the same way. As I write this there are protests happening across the country in protest of the President elect.

The clock reads 11:40PM and I just saw a tweet from the Associated Press that they’ve awarded the election to Donald J Trump. It’s a sentence that I have a hard time trying to fathom. When I got home from work a little after 4:30PM the first state results were coming in and everything just felt slightly closer then polls were suggesting pre-election. I spent so much of the last three weeks reading websites like 538, New York Times, Slate, Politico, and the like. All polls and signs pointed to a Clinton landslide, if not that then a solid victory. Nothing could prepare me though for the devastation of learning that Donald Trump will be our next President.

For anyone that knows me, you know that I am strongly on the side of Hillary Clinton in this election. As I sit here writing this post, we are only a few days away from the election. It's hard for me to even contemplate that there's still a potential for a President Trump. As I write this my entire stomach is clenched in anticipation and fear of what Tuesday's election will bring. 

Over the last year or so I've been on a path to take better care of myself. As I move from months to days away to turning 30, I've spent a lot of time reevaluating how I take care of myself. It started off right around my 29th birthday last year and has continued throughout 2016.

It may seem like I go through cars quickly, and the truth is if you look at my history with cars I really do. I'm not even a car person. I really don't like cars. It's one of those areas of my life that I spend a ton of time in but wish I didn't have to.  When I sat down to write this post the first thing I did was develop a timeline for my car history. 

I cannot believe that I'm already writing about the end of our first of two season passes to go to the theater. We started out with and If/Then followed by The Illusionists, and although not part of the season pass (bought separately) we also saw The Zelda Symphony of the Goddesses. At the time of this post we've already purchased one season pass for the 16/17 season and are planning to by at least one or two more before the seasons begin.
