Nov. 8th, 2020 08:05 amWe were sitting in the living room, having just watched ST:Discovery, and purchased M a computer (M has not had a proper one in many years and doing photoedits on one's smartphone is a bit limiting), and talking about what we wanted to do for lunch.
And we heard yelling outside, and my first thought was it was bit early for drunken brunchers. Then I said to M "put on the tv!!!" "No, I'm watching this movie." "PUT ON THE TV. THINK ABOUT IT."
And then we put on the TV.
I have not cried this much -- all happiness, of course -- in . . . well, forever. We are both still crying on and off this morning. And then we mostly collapsed for the rest of the day, M taking the couch and me shifting back to the bedroom, watching the news and checking our social media feeds. Because it turns out that a week of Election Day, four years of dystopian nightmare, is exhausting.
So now two days of errands and laundry and grading in one, and I do not mind in the slightest.
Was Biden my first choice? No. But having a decent human being, with policies and kindness, in that office, is going to be so, so much better. And Kamala Harris is a genuine step forward.
