Plans on Election Day (besides voting)?
Added 2024-11-04 16:46:44 +0000 UTCTomorrow is going to be an intense day, along with the rest of the week as the results come in. What's guaranteed are tears, frustration, impatience, and a sense of impending doom that shouldn't be felt every four years. It shouldn't, not in this country and not in any other. However, democracy prevails so long as we all vote and have our choices counted.
With that said, since I already voted with an absentee ballot, I'm avoiding social media like an Amish grandfather. At least, until my brothers and parents flood our group chat with texts about the results, haha. Tomorrow, my work shift will end at 8:00 AM (I work from midnight until then as a graveyard shift worker), so I'm going to go to bed shortly after and wake up later that night to see updates on the news. Hopefully, things will be less bleak by then. If not, I'm gonna make myself a nice spaghetti dinner and watch some sitcom reruns to cope until work.
How about you? What are your plans during Election Day besides voting? How do you plan to stay sane?
