So, Uncle Polt, how was your election day?
Gee, thanks for asking.
I started watching the returns. I became SO disgusted. Disgusted that half this country would look back on the last 4 years and say, "Why yes, I think I WOULD like another 4 years of that, please!" It nauseated me. So, about 10:00pm, I shut everything down and went to bed. Was asleep before 10:30.
I woke up about 1:00 am to use the bathroom. I checked the results on my phone, was still disgusted and attempted to go back to sleep. But after two hours of tossing and turning, with some short fitful sleep inbetween, I went downstairs to the sofa. I have an extremely comfortable sofa, and I fell asleep almost right away, sleeping for a good 4 hours or so.
I had taken off work Wednesday, so I didn't have to get up, but I did get awake a little after 7:00am. The entire rest of Wednesday, I left the house to get the paper on my back porch, take the garbage to the curb in the evening, and walk to Rutters for some supper about 6:00pm.
Otherwise, I didn't even open the blinds to my windows. I didn't turn the TV on. I didn't turn my laptop on (until right before going to bed when I had to send a message to my doctor). I did have my phone on, so I did know what was going on. But I spent the vast majority of the day on the sofa. I played a games on my phone. I read, I think, over 150 pages in my current book. I took one or two very short naps. I even turned down an request for a gentleman caller.
Despite doing nothing all day, not even showering, I was totally exhausted, emotionally wiped out. So, around 8:00pm, I went up to bed, and turned out the light to sleep about 10:00pm.
And that was my election day/day after. How was yours?
POLT
