I'm managing election night anxiety fairly well. I've canvassed and messaged and donated and put up the signs and tried to educate folks on deceptive ballot measures (Ammendment 3), even supported legal groups who fought to keep voting legal and possible for as many Americans as possible, even went around trying to help any folks with issues getting to a poll or waiting in line. No shortage of volunteers for that tonight.
I'm nervous, but not impossibly so.
Lots of good news in the last 72 hours, a family member has a kidney donor, my mother tested negative for Covid-19, my wife went horseback riding, my son did great on an exam with a subject he was really struggling with and my little on me has his first loose baby tooth and I pulled through a recent thing with work. Things could have been much worse around here.
No stories in the Metro of folks shooting up a polling place or ramming folks with a truck. A few yelled Racial slurs and belligerent folks... but that isn't as bad as it could have been.
Settled in, cooking for the family and ready to watch this thing through.
