November 10, Sunday Today was a day of prepping for the week: cooking, cleaning, doing laundry and grading and prepping for the classes to teach. Nothing exciting but the routine is good for reflection.

November 9, Saturday Today was easier because I didn’t see a lot of people. In the morning, I went to a great museum in a neighboring town. It’s a manor that was a part of the Underground Railroad that helped runaway southern slaves to get to Canada through Lake Erie. I’ll write a separate story about the place later, it is truly fascinating. The folks who run it are wonderful and dedicated to preserving the manor in its original beauty.

November 8, Friday Today I finally woke up at 6 am, without waking up every hour during the night. The realization of the election loss is still jolting and sobering. But I'm trying to tell myself that the inauguration is still two months away and perhaps there's time to prepare myself for the inevitable bad governance.

November 7, Thursday I wake up at 6 am with the heavy heart and realization that I'm not in a dream and Trump really won. I literally cannot catch my breath. I read a supportive message from my friend in New Zealand who I was venting to as the ballot count was unfolding. I quickly respond to her, but I'm still out of breath. The nightmare of another 4 years of him! In moments like that, I reach out to my ultimate example of female strength, endurance and loyalty.

November 6, Wednesday My son's text woke me up at 5 pm: "Really tried to brace for this but I'm shocked still." "Did you stay up all night?" I ask, as I had been in and out of sleep the whole night and finally just dropped exhausted at around 3:30 am.

Donald Trump, the man of the ‘I’m Fucking Crazy’: A New Chapter at the White House.
Well, what can we say. If America’s face once seemed ambiguous or contradictory, there’s no doubt now: the United States has once again chosen the New York tycoon as the 47th President. After a campaign filled with twists and turns, Trump has triumphed over Kamala Harris, reaching and surpassing the crucial 270 electoral votes with a lead of 5 million votes. Like it or not, the result reflects exactly what over half of Americans want for the White House.

Hello and welcome to this week’s edition of West Coast Milblogger. I’m your host Cyrus Emerson. From A to Z has just reorganized its YouTube channel. This aims to enhance already existing Playlists on West Coast Milblogger’s channel before other channel names are taken on the platform. For example, From A to Z was taken, so From A to Z production remains the name for the Playlist and new channel. Also, Cyrus Emerson was taken, so it’s now Cyrus_Emerson on Playlist and new channel.
