Election Day plan

 "It feels like the whole country 

is waiting to get the results 

of a biopsy."

    -- Jimmy Kimmel

"Tomorrow is Election Day 

and 'Late Night' is officially endorsing

 Xanax 0.5 milligrams, 

twice a day as needed."

     -- Seth Myers

It's not just me. I think the whole country -- or at least those paying attention to the election -- is on edge today. But I have a plan!

I have my favorite frozen pizza ready to help get me through the coverage after the returns start coming in. If I could drink I would have chocolate martinis and white Russians, but I've developed an allergy to alcohol so I'll have iced tea. If things start looking grim I'll bake brownies.

I'm going to get some exercise! The weather is beautiful outside my window, so I'll go for a nice, brisk walk soon.

I'll sew. Here is an apron I just made from a tea towel to give as a Christmas gift. I saw the idea about 30 years ago at the International Quilt Festival-Houston, and I'm finally getting around to doing it.

And if the election stress makes someone behave badly, I'll heed this advice that just popped up on Facebook today.

I voted weeks ago when the staffed ballot drop box opened at our library, but my son and daughter-in-law in Madison, WI, voted first thing this morning at the polls dressed in blue and sent this picture.

And now we wait.

Have a colorful day
