I texted my brother this morning to tell him I had voted and he wrote back with this quote from the Washington Post: "Obama is cruising in Vermont, one of the most liberal states in the country."
That's right, me and my bleeding heart are right at home in Vermont. It's no surprise, everyone knows Vermont will go to Obama. I work in New Hampshire, though, and I wish I could vote there.
A couple of weeks ago I deactivated my Facebook account and it has been the best choice I could make for my mental health. Too much election drama - half of my extended family (the half I'm not all that close to) are wealthy Romney supporters and I was tired of seeing all this crap on my feed that just sent me into rage and panic. And two of my friends from college both had babies in October and while most days I'm completely comfortable with my single, childless status, it was causing me a lot of sadness that I don't usually feel. I miss communicating with people with short status updates, it's easy to let my family and friends know what's going on in my life without sitting down to write an email, but otherwise my Facebook-less life is happier.
I'm staying away from news sites and media until late tonight so that I can focus on the things I need to get done. Of course I'm hoping for the best but it hasn't alleviated the stress.
