Why Am I So Tired? Trump Election Stress and a Brain That Holds Two Things

I have spent every minute where I don't absolutely have to be doing something for work asleep. For the last 12 days-ish. Just asleep.

I thought I was sick.

Then I woke up on Election Day and realized I've had a third thing on my brain for months. I can handle two things at the same time, no problem. Add a third and everything goes haywire. And the third thing is, like, the low-key death of democracy. No big deal.

I recorded this on Election Day, before a single result. So this is either a rant I'm going to cherish forever or one I'm going to deeply regret. I talk about the most confusing timeline, the Senate race in my state (with names, and with opinions, which are mine), and why anybody offered a beach or getting kicked in the teeth asks to hear more about the teeth.

[L2: one line here on how election night landed, if you want one.]

Then on Ask L2: a listener organized one birthday card in a panic three years ago and is now in charge of every baby shower and going-away party in the office. How do you un-volunteer yourself? There's a really specific word for this.

Contains strong language, and strong opinions.

00:00:00 Cold open

00:00:36 Welcome to You're Not Too Much

00:00:49 The most confusing timeline

00:01:05 The beach, or getting kicked in the teeth

00:02:09 Today's Election Day

00:02:26 Groceries, gas and what's that important to you

00:03:01 A giant diesel monster truck

00:03:13 Where do you put a horse on a plane?

00:04:39 Two thoughts at a time

00:05:19 I live in Florida

00:06:11 She was appointed. We did not pick her.

00:09:05 Her opponent

00:09:24 A pink megaphone

00:10:01 A bookstore where they sell banned books

00:10:41 The greatest picture in the history of forever

00:13:01 Those are your two options

00:13:43 I have been burned before

00:14:32 We demonstrate with side quests

00:14:51 Asleep for 12 days-ish

00:15:38 What day is it? What time is it?

00:16:09 I don't have problems with sleep

00:16:46 Am I sick?

00:17:38 Today's the day

00:18:05 The third thing

00:19:00 The fourth thing

00:19:26 I even canceled recording twice

00:20:37 Too tired to run my mouth on the internet

00:21:25 I'll report back

00:21:37 Ask L2: how do I un-volunteer myself?

00:21:53 It's no

00:22:39 Who gets asked to take the notes

00:23:16 You're the team

00:23:46 Love you, mean it
