I think Biden will win, and Trump will steal it with the help of the GOP and the courts, in a way that makes 2000 look like child's play.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Like, my brain is literally unable to make that assumption, because that also would crush my spirit.
I figure numb and apathetic is the best I can hope for.

I have posted the zombie princess dress picture on my FB page. I think it came out pretty good. ltc has found a few plastic pumpkins in the house already and we're going to attempt to do an outdoor portion later.

Thrive to spite them
I keep thinking that fighting to steal the election might take more effort than Trump is to expend.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
He had a long life but I was sad to see that Sean Connery had died.
I'm in a bad brain place but I both can see it and also it brings apathy and numbness to the plate so I'm not really planning on trying to find my way out for another week. It's my coping tool.

It's worth it to him because as soon as he leaves office (unless he can flee the country stealthily) he has a ton of legal issues waiting for him. And it's worth it to the spineless, conscience-less, craven GOP to support him, because with a Democratic POTUS, the GOP is going to lose SO MUCH power. So it's in their best interest to help keep him in office.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm *not* assuming Biden will win, because that would just lead to heartbreak similar to 2016, but I *also* can't assume Trump will win. Like, my brain is literally unable to make that assumption, because that also would crush my spirit.
Yes. That is totally where I am and it is not a comfortable place at all.

Herding cats for fun
Election limbo is the worst. I'm miserably afraid because I just don't know what's going to happen.

Okay, I have some data. Our nice long PVC pipe turns out to be too narrow to reliably deliver candy. After testing all 9 kinds of candy, 3 go down easily, 3 sometimes get stuck, 3 won't even fit in at all.
The testers (mr. flea and Dillo) then moved on to testing the 4 foot ballista they built for Dillo's 4th grade latin project. It was hit or miss, literally. Dillo did hit mr. flea square in the nuts with a Charleston Chew. They eventually devolved into shooting one Reese's Piece at a time (because they're ROUND), with mr. flea trying to catch them in his mouth.
The tabletop trebuchet is not impressive at all.
The testers think it's a total failure and we'll just have to eat the candy ourselves.

Tim is currently building the trashpipe. (He also just said "Use the PVC pipe to make a bigger, more reliable trebuchet. Don't MAKE me come up there.")
