Goodbye until Wednesday

I'm shutting off my computer now and taking a break from it all. I'm anxious about the election results even though I believe Biden will win. I'm going to bed early tonight because I have to start working as a poll worker at 5:00am tomorrow. I will not be home until after 10:30pm. I will probably fall right to sleep when I get home. I will check the news when I wake up on Wednesday with both fingers crossed.

Good luck to everyone. It has been a long four years. Everyone has worked so hard. I hope very soon we can celebrate the next President Joe Biden and the next Vice President Kamala Harris. Also, I hope to see a lot of soon to be unemployed republican senators.

Get a good night's sleep, and be vigilant.

Got my fingers crossed too.

Today the weather sucked. Tomorrow I will be on the gulf fishing all day then cooking and eating the fish we catch. Then bourbon and cigars on the deck. Will check the news Wednesday morning. Not touching my phone except to check the weather.

Having done it myself I know it's a very long day. Be sure to pack snacks and beverages so you can stay hydrated. See you on the other side.

My anxiety is through the roof, I know I'd be miserable working the polls and not knowing the result until Wednesday. Those of you working them this year especially are made of iron and I appreciate all that you are doing for our country. Be safe and let's win it Dems!
