We got a take out dinner from a really good Italian restaurant. I drove 45 minutes round trip because this was a special occasion. I watched Kamala and Joe's speeches while sipping on a hard cider in a glass rimmed with caramel and cinnamon sugar. It was good for me to see such a joyful celebration. We elected really good people. I am determined to be positive like them.

We are at the cottage, right in the middle of trump land. The next door neighbors and us rang CowBell's and blew air horns at 6:55. Most of the other neighbors are at campfires, not watching the speech. .....and I am drinking too much vodka.

Ice cream for lunch! Then I opened a new bottle of Gnarly Head Old Vin Zin red and drank a big glass (it was delicious btw) while watching the acceptance speeches and texting with my east coast sisters and niece who are all Biden fans. I am surrounded by trump supporters in a very red state, so my celebration was solitary. I loved the healing message from both Joe and Kamala, and cried while I was partaking.....

I cracked open some glow sticks and yelled YEAH out my back yard for about 3 minutes and my husband thought I was nuts. Why is that any different than dogs barking for 30 minutes? I am really relieved. Why can't I yell yeah out my back door while waving glow sticks?

It was a clear choice, just like the president elect!  A former classmate of mine is in the Army (band) and shared a picture of the same bottle. I didn't get it until you shared yours. Perfect choice! |

Moet & grilled Impossible burgers! The knot I've had in my stomach these past four years is starting to heal. Such a great day for America!

We had ice cream for lunch! Tonight we got take out from one of our favorite bakeries since we didn’t want to miss the speech and we knew it would be running late and into our dinner time. I am drinking my last raspberry ales I have been saving for just such a celebration! It is a seasonal ale and I really wish they had it year round, it is so good.

Watched the speeches while making a card, a bit of boohooing at the end, and then had some nacho's. Now waiting for SNL then going to bed (without the tv).

My husband and I went to dinner and drank a couple beers and done great fried food! On the way home we stopped at the WaWa, for some ice cream treats to celebrate at home! ☺️ I would do weird things for a gobbler bowl. I miss wawa so much! I had never been in one, until we moved here! They have EVERYTHING there!! It’s amazing! When we walked in, my husband pointed out the gobbler bowl signage on the door! |

It was a clear choice, just like the president elect! omg. Is that a thing? I can give that and nobody will understand the 46 but me Yes, and it's a pretty decent bourbon. A bourbon person wouldn't scoff at it and it's about $40 a bottle. It's a French oak barrel so it's a bit different than standard makers mark. Mine even came with a holiday ornament. I dont drink but dh is a bourbon guy and there is a 100% chance that every trump supporting person in my family will end up on tik tok when they say "I really enjoy 46" or "46 is way better than I expected" 😄 He is genuinely happy to teach them about a new bourbon and have something to talk about but me? I am petty AF. |

That sounds yum! |

There really is nothing like a gas station in those areas. Wawa and shsetz are the highlights of my road trips. |

I gaze longingly through the glass doors at it! I haven’t heard of Shsetz... |

At some point, we're going to get dinner from Ruth's Chris. (We might have to delay it significantly, though... I am not comfortable eating at restaurants yet, and that's WAY too expensive for takeout.) But right now, we're biding time until SNL. We usually record and then watch SNL on Sunday. We are going to watch live tonight. I can’t wait! Argh. Clemson-ND is going into overtime. |

I bought a bottle of wine for Tuesday. With no decision I bought another for surly-we-will-know-by-Wednesday, I-can't-stand this-again Thursday and finally I-have-a hangover- Friday. I will be checking into rehab on Monday.  |

Two weeks from now, they're all going home for Thanksgiving... Well this has turned into a real buzzkill. 12:11am and I am sitting here watching “Chuck’s Big Adventure” segment on the local news 😡. Damnit Chuck we aren’t traveling anywhere right now and especially not to Northern Michigan for a beach 🤷🏻♀️. I want my SNL!!! I was pretty disgusted by the storming of the field after that game too. It is local-ish and I was at least glad to hear the news anchor add a comment about that not being a good thing. And we wonder why our state‘s positivity rate went from the low 4’s to over 10% in the past few weeks. |

Two weeks from now, they're all going home for Thanksgiving... I was literally screaming at the t.v. about the storming of the field. And so many weren’t wearing masks. Including the players, because they just finished playing. And now they are swarmed by non-mask-wearing students. It will serve them right if a bunch are sidelined due to COVID and then miss out on the ACC championship game. College football shouldn’t be being played. And this is why. If some conferences won’t prohibit student fans in the stadiums - ACC and SEC, I’m looking at you - then it shouldn’t be played at all. I went to walk my dogs as soon as the game ended, thinking that I’d have 30 minutes, but when I got back half the monologue was over. Thank heaven for rewind! |

Texting with all my friends across US all day long. Group texts, single texts, texts with people I haven’t spoken with in months and people I speak with daily. The memes have been flying!

I’m celebrating 1,580 days today since I started my job on 7/11/2016. Even though I left it on 1/10/2020, something added up for this day to be special in relation to that and I even saw 1,580 on the tv screen a few days after I added everything up that equaled today ☺️
The duration from 7/11/2016 to 1/10/2020 is the same exact duration of how long the show Hart of Dixie was: 1,278 days

DH and I hung out with friends for the first time since the pandemic began. We were a small group sitting around a bonfire sipping champagne and sharing our joy and relief. We did go inside to watch the speeches. We all wore out masks while in the house. Then back outside to the fire. Lots of laughter and tears of relief.

Absolutely nothing. We didn't even watch the speeches.
