I do wish RBG could have retired long ago. And had a nice retirement. I feel she was hanging on for us and our country. What a wonderful woman. What a fighter. What a fighter for civil rights. Itās going to be hard without her. I didnāt drink tonight because of this. But I wanted to. But the next few weeks and months of the ugly politics and hypocrisy is going to be difficult to get through sober. As if it isnāt already bad enough. Wifey had her drinks. Passed out on the couch. I was all alone again. My sister and some of my friends were drinking tonight at their homes because, well, I guess they can. Itās not fair. Itās not fair. I donāt want to go through the pain of the next few weeks and months. It wasnāt going to be any good anyway. Iām pretty sure I can do it. Sorry to vent on a page where we should be just be honoring Justice Ginsburg. But I didnāt know where else to post this. God help us all. And God be with the family of Justice Ginsburg in their time of loss. God Bless RBG

When a Jewish person dies on Shabbat, it means they were a special soul. For RBG to pass on Rosh Hashana, which is the New Year in the Hebrew calendar, this means she is truly a righteous soul.

I am having the hardest time sleeping. Everything feels so portentous. If Iād drunk tonight, Iād have fallen asleep and awakened in a cold sweat at 3 am. At least that wonāt happen. Need to turn off my brain until tomorrow. Deep breathing. A book. A cat and not worrying about lack of sleep. Hope that does it.

Same here. Iām not even trying. I just know when I get up tomorrow Iām going to have to feel again. Not looking forward to it. We can do this. Right? At least we wonāt be hungover.

My grandmother died on April Fools Day. She was quite a funny character. So that just seemed right.

My grandfather died on Valentineās Day. He was a macho Old school Mexican gentleman who fancied himself a romantic, but also liked to be the center of attention. It fits.

I had a sort of out of body experience last night while eating ice cream instead of opening a bottle of wine that hubby has squirreled anyway somewhere in the basement. I envisioned myself drinking that bottle and what would happen as a result - this wasnāt even an intentional thought exercise, it just exploded into my brain. Not a good feeling and Iām grateful, because any inkling of craving or wish for numbing was shut down pretty quickly.
I fell asleep fast and hard, but am up again suddenly at 5 am for some reasonā¦

I hope you got some rest.
Thatās great. The good old subconscious. Sometimes when you ask it to behave itself, it does.

What RBG fought for was beyond political. In this program I was reminded what it means to be empathetic towards others. I feel that her mission, as you say, was equality and empathy for others let alone all! This amazing woman changed the USofA and stood up for equality around the globe. She will be greatly missed for her experiences, wisdom and compassion for human rights. Rest in Power RBG!
