After the previous night's horrifying election reports yesterday I was so traumatized that all I could do was stand at the window and stare out, grateful that the birds were still visiting my feeders and didn't know what was going on.

I decided it was too quiet without MSNBC so I started vacuuming and cleaning all over the house. The physical activity and noise were very therapeutic. By lunchtime my stomach started unknotting and I was able to eat.

My husband decided it was a good time to blow the leaves off the deck.

Fortunately, things are looking MUCH BETTER electorially today though we're going to have a bit of a wait for the win to be announced and swamp draining to begin.
