That sounds really nice Consuela. I have very little optimism left and am not sure what I'll do. Don't have tv and don't want to be refreshing the post all night or anything
Harken: You fought with Captain Reynolds in the war? Zoe: Fought with a lot of people in the war. Harken: And your husband? Zoe: Fight with him sometimes, too.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I plan to be away from a TV, possibly with a nice long fanfic, and some Ambien. I do not want a repeat of two years ago, crying on the couch. I will deal with whatever happened on Wednesday morning.
I plan to be near a TV, either watching Curious Creations of Christine McConnell or playing MarioKart. I may take Twitter off my phone for the day.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I could say I'm not going to watch returns tomorrow night, but that's a damn lie. I will.
One of the local bars is having a party tomorrow night to watch returns, and for its Facebook event post, they used Captain America's shield. I scrolled too quickly and thought, "Hey, Northside Tavern is showing Captain America on election night! That's a great idea!" (SPOILER: They are not showing Captain America.)
I'm not going to their party, because I would get HAMMERED, and I am too damn old to recover well from getting hammered anymore.

Because books.
I'm not watching tomorrow night. Last time was too much.
Any idea why I have a little red "Not secure" message in the address bar for this site now?

The Chrome browser recently changed its definition of "not secure" to include any web site that does not have encryption turned on.
Hopefully, that's one of the things that will be fixed with Gudanov's new version of the site.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I have plans that will keep me away from the TV until about 9:30. I plan to be in bed with the lights out by 10:30, 11:00 at the latest. That should be enough time to get the trends without obsessing all night long. And get enough sleep to be awake at work on Wednesday.

Yeah, new site will have encryption.

I am on a plane to DC. Womp womp.
I did not have my shit together yesterday and I realized I forgot to pack a couple of things after I boarded my flight, so I just ordered an Amazon Prime Now delivery at my hotel tonight.
I've told some of my coworkers that I'll probably be hiding in my hotel room rather than attending any watch parties.

I have a work dinner that'll keep me out until 6:30 or so. That'll give me time to get home (if home has water—there's a big water main break in my town that's been unresolved for about five hours now), get a drink, and start watching returns.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh I have no delusions about where I will be. Every election in memory I have planted myself in front of the tv and computer compulsively watching. I didn't think I could possibly have been more devastated than I was after the Bush elections, and then there was 2016. I still have not recovered, but I won't be able to sleep or focus on anything else. So I will watch. Toes and fingers have blue nails, and I have my menu together.
