We are ALL election weary. It feels like being whipped daily with a wet paper bag filled with dog poo. Friends and family we once thought were funny and smart – who ARE smart and funny – post or share things on social media that give us THIS face…even those we agree with!
JSB about 6yrs old – he turned 22 yesterday!
Assuming none of us are dealing with self-inflicted-fence-riding-rash….we’ve made a decision! Here are a few things to do instead of yelling at the TV or stabbing the latest political meme through your device screen.
- Stock your bar – no matter what candidate you choose, it’s going to be a long night
Gratuitous hand porn – there’s a drink in there
- Binge watch DIY inspiration shows – we recommend Fixer Upper because who doesn’t like Chip & Joanna, Flea Market Flip, Rehab Addict – shiplap everything!
- Go to a German sausage festival – it’s our annual Church fundraiser this weekend! Lots of cooking and baking and more cooking as we prep to feed 300+ Sunday.
- Give notice at work….you’re going to late and hungover on Wednesday
more gratuitous pilfering
- Get ahead in your NaNoWriMo word count*! (I’ll be in the writing cave Monday & Tuesday – after I vote of course)
- Check the immigration regulations for Canada – seems half the country will be moving on Wed.
- Put up the Christmas Tree!
- Watch The Princess Bride for the 1000th time and practice saying “Inconceivable” with a lisp.
- Lastly, remember the sun will come up Wednesday and we will be OK!
What are your survival plans for the next 5 days?
*yes, I’m counting these 250+ words as part of my daily count!

Right behind you! And I’m printing out this list and passing it around.

Good advice. No matter which way it goes, I’m gonna need a drink (or 5)

I’m just ready for it to be over. My fear is that it won’t. I don’t trust either of the top two candidates or the majority of their supporters to accept the results with any amount of grace. The Florida recount cluster will feel like High Tea compared to this.

I don’t even live in your country and I can’t wait for it to be over either – but, unfortunately, I think you are right. Whatever happens on Wednesday won’t be the end of it. Whipped daily with a wet paper bag filled with dog poo indeed!
