Household have collectively dropped our ballots in the boxes.
Like many of y'all, I am mostly staying away from news sites, and sites where news is absolutely unavoidable. (Dreamwidth is not one of those.) Though one of my chats has proposed: "I want an election night stream that's just Anderson Cooper and Rachel Maddow getting falling down drunk and the Count going apeshit on the map." I would watch that.
I spent a few hours in bed, after grabbing the plastic box of apple slices I'd prepared last night in anticipation of just such a morning, and readTime of Iron Iron Flame, with a brief detour to put the quarters in the house calendar through 2027. Yellface sat on top of me, as I was the warmest thing in this part of the house. Eventually Alex bribed Yellface into the media room (she was mad about not getting the treat from the cupboard IMMEDIATELY) and offered the rest of the upstairs for Mila to explore.
I have been poking around the house doing minor things. I put the anti-slip potion on another bra-pocket. I discarded a box of Lemonheads that had succumbed to the humidity. I put some Halloween things in the Halloween box. And I've been listening toTime of Iron Long Live Evil. I'm somewhere in Chapter 21 (10:16:12) and now I know why Belovedest cried "NO!!!!" at one part. (It might not be what you think.) One of my chats linked to a news story about some fuckhead who punched an election judge (he was trying to cut in line and the judge said No). There was a counter on a big bar across the top of the site. Another of my chats relayed the high points of a story about another election official who got his hand stuck inside a Keurig. Why? How? I'm not looking that up until Later.
I ordered burgers, because absolutely nobody is in a Cooking Dinner kind of mood. (And I'm glad I checked my email -- there was a discount code!) I might make brownies, which I thought of when thinking about mitigation strategies.
Between us all, we've got enough spare anti-anxiety meds, Trazodone, and edibles to knock us over and put us in a mode where listening to music is about the limit of our intellectual capacities, for a week or two. Provided there are enough meal-adjacent items that don't require fire or knives, and some of us get the time off work. (Cats -- well, as long as someone's sober enough to operate a can opener, dishwasher, and litter scoop, they'll be fine.)
Costco had some very cute muffin tins, in silicone, with sprinkles, and with a solid internal frame. (If you tried to microwave it: "is this burning, an internal fraaaaaaaaaaaame?") And I think individual brownie pucks might be very fun.
