Everyday is a battle between my emotional well being and watching the news.

The days ahead will be tough, I won't lie to you.

But we're Illinois — we're strong, we hang together, and we will win.

Today I cancelled all my subscribe and save orders on Amazon, purchased my Costco membership, and bought all my weekly necessities that I would usually get at Target. I can’t change the outcome of the election or what policies are in place. What I can control is where my money is spent.
