Biden Won!
CNN just projected that Joe Biden won the presidency. Good. I woke up right when they called the election. What a lovely start to the day. No honking and cheering here. This is Trump country.
On CNN, I was watching people celebrating in the streets. However, the Cat Coalition informed me that they needed to be fed RIGHT NOW!
Had a nice nap. I remembered that I had french-bread pizza in the freezer and discovered that I had apple-walnut cake, so I had a feast for lunch.
Watched Kamala Harris' and Joe Biden's speeches. Good speeches.
Ran to the store to get bread, jam, and milk. It seemed quiet outside.
Talked to Mom. At first, I couldn't get through to her because of a weird phone thing, but she called me. We're relieved that the election is over and Joe Biden won. My aunt and uncle are having serious health problems, and my aunt doesn't know what to do. My mom is wondering if she'll have to come to Chicago to help out, but her health isn't the greatest either.
Watched an interesting discussion between Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon about whether Biden can unite the country. Chris was the optimist, and Don was the pessimist. Don was wondering how you can communicate with a conspiracy theorist. And that's the thing. My aunt seriously told my mom that the Democrats would put Biden in a home and AOC would take over, and dire things would happen. How can you communicate with someone who believes that?
I'm going to go to bed early and bask in the feeling of contentment.
