I bought a Christmas-Branded box of this off an endcap at Whole Foods last Christmas and while it doesn't keep me out the whole night, it does help me fall asleep faster. After the box was empty, I didn't think much more about it. I came across a straggler from that box in my cupboard the other day and figured that since Christmas stuff is starting to get stocked, maybe they would have it again. Turns out, after asking a clerk about it, they have it all year long, dang it!

So, the after-election rants are starting on Facebook. People claiming they can't live in a country where Republicans have the majority (I heard the same thing from the other side 2 years ago, yet here they all still live). Others acting like we're at the beginning of an apocalypse because their candidates didn't win. Here's the deal - stop giving the government that much control over your lives. Until there is a major shift in thinking in this country, it doesn't matter who wins - we all lose. Being Libertarian, my candidates rarely win. I'm hopeful that one day enough people will wake up and realize that the current 2-party political system that panders to the leeches of society (both rich and poor) is the problem.

Edited 11/5 to add:
A couple of election things that did bum me out:
1. The GMO labeling proposition failed. I guess people feel ignorance is bliss. I, for one, want to know what I'm eating. Way to fall for the scare tactics from people that profit from GMOs.
2. The Aurora pit bull ban is still in place. It's not a breed problem, it's an owner problem. I'm sorry, the only time I was ever attacked when I was delivering pizzas was by a little, yappy drop-kick dog that sank it's sharp little teeth into my Achilles tendon while I waited for the owner to go get money.
3. Hickenlooper is still Governor of Colorado.

I'm in a creative funk. I purchased this today at Barnes & Noble to see if I can get my creative juices flowing again - Kim Werker's "Make It Might Ugly.

Man, after my supervisor walked off the job a few weeks ago, I've been putting in 50-60 hour weeks and it seemed like we'd never get caught up. Today was the first day since then that the "Ready to Work" basket has been empty. Whew!

I am so freaking exhausted. Even with "falling back," this stupid time change does a number on my system.

Maria Shaw wrote on Facebook today that those born in the '60s, but especially 61-66, were going to go through a shake-up this week. I hope if I do, that something good comes of it.

Must remember to turn in my ballot tomorrow. I will be so glad to get a brief reprieve from this political bullshit.

Well, would love to post more, but I can barely type or keep my eyes open. Hopefully I'll finish the most current Supernatural episode on the CW app, and then I should be caught up to real-time.
