$450 hand-painted scarf at Barney's |
She and I were together because our husbands were doing business (what on earth could THAT be?), and we were discovering some shared interests. Painting, for one; she liked to paint scarves. Even in my dream, I was surprised.
Then I staggered out of bed, threw on my robe ($20 at Target years ago--you can imagine what it looks like), and crept downstairs in the dark. I plugged into NPR for a long day of listening. Every time there was a Romney sound bite, I turned down the volume and whispered a defiant obscenity. When he was finished, I turned up the volume to listen to Obama and crossed my fingers.
I'm worn out. From lack of sleep and an overload of political reports. My wide-awake brain wants the Democrats to win today, but my poor old subconscious wants to figure out a way to be friends with the other side.

I am so sick of this election that when I switched the station from NPR and found an ABBA tune, I stuck with ABBA. God help me!
I get it, I do. My brain is numb.
