I wrote this about 10:30 last night -
These past few days have had us all tossed out of our normal schedules, I think. Donald and I have lived on pizza for dinner every night until tonight when it was finally all gone. Dinner time was whenever we got hungry, usually more than just once. Breakfast was strange in that it might happen at 8 or 9 or 11 because we stayed up most of the night watching election returns. And breakfast was apple pie (with ice cream). Until this morning when the pie was all gone. So today I had to cook. Cheeseburgers. Again, eating in front of the TV watching returns, watching Biden & Harris being declared the winning ticket, dancing in the street, crying, and drinking champagne. I have spent more time in front of the TV these past few days (What day IS this?!) than I have these past four years. Time for a return to normal. For our country, and for me. So I have turned off the upstairs TV, shooed Donald and Annabelle downstairs, and I'm going to curl up in our bed with a dozen fluffy pillows and, thanks to NetGalley, Michael Koryta's newest book, "Never Far Away ." With champagne ( until it too is all gone). It will be a moderate to slow transition back to normal here in Meat Camp as long as there's champagne. G'nite all. Life is about to become good again.
And now, several hours later, after a good night's sleep, I believe even more strongly that life is, indeed, about to become good again.
