Congrats on this day.  It is important to take stock and admit a win, but not to think its the whole battle.  There is tons of work to be done.  Still, yay!

Yesterday was kind of a crazy day.  The poles were so full; we had to wait for a space in the parking lot and we had to wait in line for our ballots.  It was exciting to see all those people out there doing their duty.  Definitely gave me a boost. 

Jo and i went to see Wicker in the evening to distract ourselves and get us away from media.  Wicker was great.  It was so nicely done and very beautiful to watch.  It was advertised as a romantic comedy, which I would not have labeled it, but it was gently romantic.  I'm really glad we went.

Then I got home and did a couple things and went to bed with a book.  Midnight I awoke and realized I'd never done my blog, that I had not taken any photos except one "I voted" shot.

What a morning to wake up to.  I got up and got dressed and decided to leave the house and get a bagel.  I ate the bagel and went to the Y only to realize I was an hour early.  I had forgotten what time it was.  

About 3:30 I took my ride.  That only gave me an hour before sunset, and sunsets are so different in early November.  I saw no birds, I saw the cattle, but no other 4 legged creatures.   There was a mauve haze on the horizon, but nothing dramatic.  I was home by 5.  

So for the next 4 months we will be with not enough sun time.  Some of the sunsets will be spectacular, but there will be more dark than light. 

I do feel more like Lindy today, but I still feel unanchored and wondering what life holds in store for me at the moment.  Here's hoping good is the new pattern.
