Hooray Hooray Hooray!
For the past four years, we thought, dreamed, and believed in blue. This week, after we voted for blue, it finally came through.
Congratulations to President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris for prevailing in a historic election.
What a relief (maybe we’ll be able to sleep at night again?)!
And now, chocolate chip ice cream for everyone!

I was comparing today to how devastating it was 4 years ago when we learned Trump had won. I sensed we were in for a hard time, but couldn’t have imagined just how terrible and destructive he could be.

Yes! It’s a perfect November day. I’m reveling in this: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/07/us/politics/kamala-harris.html?campaign_id=10&emc=edit_gn_20201107&instance_id=23913&nl=in-her-words®i_id=35761416&segment_id=43908&te=1&user_id=ed84a8a840352bc7e512a69cee63f078
I plan to bake a blueberry crumble to celebrate tonight. Going to let my heart soar today and worry about the next 2+ months tomorrow.

Yes, I revel in Kamala’s historic achievement too. Just as Biden is the perfect President for this moment in time, Kamala is the perfect Vice President. Enjoy your blueberry crumble; I agree — today is for celebrating; there will be lots of time to worry about what will happen during the transition period.

I was out walking this morning and heard a woman say that she could finally breathe. I turned around because I thought she was taking off her mask. She was standing and crying at her phone. I got a text from a friend as I was pulling out my phone to check the news.
I’ve been bawling and laughing all day~sometimes simultaneously!! I know there’s a lot to be fixed, but I exhaled for the first time in four years.

I am SO happy and relieved and thankful. It wasn’t everything, but it was enough for now. And, yes, I do think my sleep will be vastly improved. Imagine not waking up in the middle of the night thinking about this president and the damage he wreaks on a daily basis. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. Hooray, hooray, hooray!!!!

It’ll be tough going with half the country still firmly buying into 45’s lies. The upcoming Georgia Senate run-offs are so critical — otherwise MM will continue to obstruct/stonewall any House generated legislation.
