Phew!

Like much of the world, the election has caused a lot of anxiety and stress, particularly over the past week. First of all, my ballot never arrived so my vote won’t be counted. My thoughts about this are that the post office didn’t process the mail properly the second time due to there already being a postmark on it. I could be wrong about it and perhaps my ballot is still somewhere in the postal pathways. Or maybe it’s also gone into the ether. LOL

My heart sank when I saw that Biden didn’t get a landslide win. This causes me more despair than before because the president still isn’t seen for what he is: an ugly person who has used the office to sow discord and hate amongst the public and to line his pockets. Among many things. Most of my family still voted for him and still overwhelmingly support him. After all, the MSM is all fake news and all…sigh.

But early Sunday morning, before I went to bed, I heard that it was official that Biden won. I was elated and days later I am still feeling elated. I still have that anxiety about the rest but at the least the current president is going to be out. I just hope any investigations/lawsuits don’t go all that far.

I will never say Biden would have been my first choice for President. But overall he’s a decent man and I trust him to consider all the people not just those that bow down to him.

I am now thinking about what I will use for my profile image on Facebook on inauguration day. It’s been nearly four years using a black background and I want to come back with a bit of a splash. These next couple of months are going to be slow for me.

Already I have heard Biden speak and it is so refreshing to have someone who isn’t all about himself. He spoke of handling the covid-19 crisis and implored people to take safe measures because it’s the right thing to do as an American, no matter who a person has voted for. I only caught the end of his speech so I’m not sure what came before. But he’s taking action in a way that hasn’t happened at the executive level as yet.

I haven’t heard Harris’ speech(es) yet but from all I’ve heard, she’s going to prove an active and useful VP. It’s so cool to have someone with such a diverse background in such a high level position.

And how about Stacy Abrahms in Georgia? I can see she is going to go places and her work right now is so important.

I am still worried about the state of the country but now I am encouraged and a bit hopeful.
