I was too overwhelmed and thrilled to write anything Tuesday night. Wednesday morning I was still in awe, still consumed with reading everyone else's accounting of where they were and how they felt when it was announced that Barack Obama had won the election. I sat down to write something during lunch on Wednesday but I still didn't have the words. And the truth is, I still don't have the words. For nearly two years I have hoped that he would be our next president. But until Tuesday night I didn't really believe it could happen. It has though, it really has and I couldn't be more thrilled.
Other things I'm grateful for this week:
- health insurance which allows me to go to the doctor when I'm sick
- cough syrup with codeine
- antibiotics
- a sweet home made card from Jack
- sleeping in until 10am on a Sunday
- some nice one on one time with Dean
- Tom's delicious home made beef stew
- leftover halloween candy
There's more but I am numb and I can't remember anything. I think now I will go pour myself a teaspoonful of cough syrup and slip into my cozy bed and fall into a deep codeine-induced slumber - per the doctor's orders.
See you on the other side.
