And feel a bit like I suspect a hangover might feel like (I've never had one, actually). Apparently the big ball in sky came up and even though it's cloudy it woke me up at my normal time, even then I didn't get to bed till after 3 am, after all the speeches and with some discomfort with the transition to normal acetaminophen for my pain.
I'm still very happy about the election last night. And I am SO happy all the e-mails asking for support will finally abate. I am so glad it's over. $6 billion for this whole thing, giving us basically the status quo just seems a bit over the top. And I'm sure a lot of people are NOT happy, as about half the country voted the other way, but I know libertarians and progressives alike who were so unhappy with either candidate. One of my friends was one of the 6,000 or so who voted for the Green candidate in Kentucky, for example. But I think most people chose between the two candidates.
I'm actually watching politics on TV, something I almost never do. It's basically a bunch of hung-over pundits interviewing hung-over candidates, as I think everyone today is tired, too. :) The amount of work that goes into these campaigns is mind-boggling. It's got to be a great elation to win, a horrible disappointment to lose, when you've worked so hard, and then there's the inevitable crash everyone goes through as things regroup and focus returns to the work at hand.
Well, I think it's time to eat breakfast. I have PT today and a friend may come over to visit. Another may go pick up a package for me and take my library books in, as those were the two things I didn't get done yesterday (in truth, I totally forgot about the books, but I'm afraid they were minor compared to the appointment and bank). Tomorrow one of my co-workers is going to pick up my laundry and do it for me. I really appreciate how helpful and supportive everyone has been. I get down sometimes, and they cheer me up. There are certain things I just can't do for myself, and they help me out. On the other hand, I've been fairly good at things. I dropped half a bottle of vitamins yesterday and picked up every single one of them with my good foot. Thank goodness I use children's multivitamins in animal shapes, as that was much easier than if they'd been smooth megacapsules. :) It's little frustrations, like the day the toilet paper went flying out of my hands across the room, that I've been having to deal with, but I've managed so far. I do need someone to get the paper towel roll out from under the table. I forgot to get Brenda to do that, and she'd done so much yesterday, even taking my trash out for me. I have good friends. Thank you so much.
