Tomorrow

Tomorrow is an important day in the US. It’s nerve wracking to wait to see what a few thousand people in states far from where I live will determine the future of this country. Our system is so broken. And it will never be fixed. And yet we keep showing up to vote. Even those of us whose votes truly don’t matter. We vote because the only thing worse than participating in a broken system is to not participate at all.

I am not ready for the next two years. I’m not ready for Trump to be a constant part of the national conversation again. I’m not ready for him to be the center of another election cycle. I’m not ready for him to be back on Twitter. I’m not ready for all the horrors the Supreme Court has in store. I’m not ready for the damage a Republican controlled Congress will do.

I feel like tomorrow is the start of another national nightmare. Instead of dwelling on it too much, I’ll try to make the Tetris game of lessons and assessments fit into the end of the trimester. Because that is what I can control.

Then I’ll go play some Two Dots.
