Title edited. It's now post-election. I'm not doing so well. Been in a deep depression the last week. I'm actually good with being by myself right now.
How are you all holding up?
Original post:
It's finally Election Day!
I'm at home today. Plan on giving rides to vote if anyone needs one. So far no one's called.
It's VERY red around here, but I've seen alot of Harris flags.
How are you guys spending the day?

(2,402 posts)Can't use iPad for this. Wish the hell I could do this the old school way.
A bit peeved as I'm ready to do this and can't even access the zoom mtng.
Good thing I canvassed, so not totally useless.

(2,402 posts)preferred. I also had a prob. with accessing my email on another device. I share a Gmail account and found that I was no longer able to access Gmail on that device.
Kinda sad for a bit since I like to phone on election day. Love it when I can call from New England out to central or western states where polls are still open
So, basically I crashed for a bit, had an early din-din and have a better attitude.
Still wanted to make more calls, though...
I've got a land line. Just gimme a list!
To be clear I need Gmail to access the zoom meeting, instructional pre calling.

(1,207 posts)Watching YouTube this morning in Blue Dot Omaha (Kamaha!) Offering emotional support text messages to my friends who are battling election anxiety.
Later, I will go get some groceries, then back home to nerd out and turn on the tube, fire up the laptop, turn on my tablet, and keep checking my phone.
I considered going to a election returns watch party tonight hosted by the Nebraska Democratic Party, but I need to absorb the experience alone and be reflective about the last 4-months 💙

Wishing Iowa's governor and US Senators were being voted out of office today.

No calls for a ride so far.

(2,056 posts)a lot to do after the hurricanes, although thankfully I didn't get hit hard. Then I talked with my sister and nephew, later I will talk with my cousins on the West Coast. That's all of my family.
I'm watching Brian Tyler Cohen and Meidas Touch streaming and will watch Robert Reich's stream later.
My cats have are getting a special treat tonight.
Good Luck everyone! In Solidarity!

(5,266 posts)Voted early. I did what I could. But
I think votes were flipped and many of the Dems stayed home
the nightmares are back.
