I’ve been posting a lot lately on many of the Prop 8 threads, and the “I admit I’m totally crying my way through Obama’s election and the energy it is spreading” threads.
It is a crazy frequency to be navigating, if you know what I mean.
Just watched the video for “It’s a New Day”. Crying with happiness at 7:30 in the morning on a Monday. By the 5pm commute I’ll be spitting nails and sounding off at some article I’d read about Prop 8.
It is a surreal time.
I’ve been on an emotional roller-coaster lately, too, but it’s more a battle between my normally happy, cheerful self, and the stress and gloom of the economy and its affect on my workplace (layoffs. 
) I’m thrilled about Obama, completely depressed about Prop 8 (CA), Prop 2 (FL) and whatever else in other states. I’m loving fall weather, stressing about holiday crap coming on. I’m up and down more than an elevator in a very busy building.
I’m very happy about Obama being elected, but I’m iconoclastic by nature, and it’s pissing me off having all these Hallmark greeting card feelings about it.
I’m having these mixed feelings as well. We had a discussion about Prop. 8 at work the other day, and I found out that a couple of the younger women I work with agree with me about it, to my surprise. Speaking of work, I’m having mixed feelings about that as well. Because of the economic situation, more people are applying for public assistance, which means more participants at my workplace. There really isn’t much of an increase in approved Medi-Cal cases just yet, but if things stay this bad or get worse, my caseload will increase. Oh well, at least I won’t be unemployed. (crossing fingers, hoping for no state budget cuts for Medi-Cal)
