monday
maybe a blue wave?
cautiously optimistic
I want to believe
tuesday
unreliable polls
free-floating anxiety
four-year-old ghost
wednesday
living in limbo
check the news compulsively
warily waiting
thursday
"stop counting the votes"
biPOLar disorder
"count every vote"
friday
drenched in exhaustion
numbingly go through my day
is victory near here?
saturday
the count goes on and...
true democracy takes time
happy with result
