Does anyone else feel better? I feel better.

ILoveBeachMusic · November 2020

I do feel better than I did last week ;however, I do worry about all the republican shenanigans. Lindsay Graham has got to go!

It’s a new era. Beyond thankful. I just hope the nonsense stops.

We toasted to Joe and Kamala at our backyard gathering on Saturday. Happy Monday everyone

I nearly cried telling Chiquita that I had to wait 40 years to see a woman be the VP elect and she can still count her age on her hands.

We let the kids to stay up to watch the speeches at 8 PM. Chiquita did this on her own.

I feel better. Not quite everything is awesome, but certainly better. It was pretty amazing to see people around the country celebrating over the weekend, even though I wish they'd been more responsible about masks and distancing. Someone in my neighborhood was setting off fireworks.

STARMOON44 · November 2020

I was dancing in the streets on Saturday! Just the best feeling.

short+sassy · November 2020

It does feel like a rare Happy Monday! So much relief. Like a breath of fresh air has wafted over the country. I'm also worried about what Trump will do now that he has nothing left to lose. But he can't change we are starting a new chapter, one way or another.

On other happy news, Pfizer/BioNTech have announced a COVID vaccine with 90% effectiveness and no serious side effects. They are waiting for 164 participants in the study to catch COVID and confirm the results, which they expect to happen this month and they will then seek US emergency use authorization. They have already started production and expect to have enough vaccine to protect 25 million people by the year's end. Here's the link to the article:

Mine too! There were a lot of fireworks going off throughout the evening on Sat.

MissKittyDanger · November 2020

So excited for America

We did family photos {i'll try to post some later} AND!

BK passed level 1 of sesame desensitization!!!
Originally she was suppose to have 1/8 of a muffin, but she wouldn't so they allowed 1/16th and next they're going to try and get the 1/8

Entire recipe has 1/2 tablespoon of tahini and it's pretty sweet so I personally think that may be part of the issue.
I'm gonna ask if there's a way to alter the sweetness

kvruns · November 2020

Got my Christmas cards ordered, got a good deal on some from Shutterfly. I think I have fewer than normal but I am cutting back on my list so hopefully I'll have enough.

Took B to see Santa yesterday. Cabela's still had their Santa setup, I was surprised. Much different than before but still nice to get a free pic. The Santa was awesome - they always have good Santas but this was the best we've had. He wanted nothing to do with him as usual and wouldn't even take off his mask so I have a pic of he and I sitting in front of Santa (who was behind plexiglass and wearing a face shield). Super 2020 pic but I like it and will be fun to look back on years from now.

ILoveBeachMusic · November 2020

That's adorable @kvruns. I wanted to do Sullivan's Christmas train like we did last year, but 1) they've sold out on weekends and 2) we aren't even sure DD and family will be able to come down here. Such a bummer!

Casadena · November 2020

I feel such a sense of relief. I know not everything is 100% better, but wow is it an amazing feeling to have good people headed to the white house who are good speakers, have positive energy, and are actually excited to help the country instead of shitting on it every chance they get.

Weekend was ok - SIL/BIL are not doing well (emotionally, SIL physically, and relationship wise). Positive thoughts and prayer sent their way would definitely be appreciated.

levioosa · November 2020

I feel better, but I’m still apprehensive. Seventy-two days is still a lot of time to do some damage. We could only hope he’ll run to his golf courses for the remainder but I don’t think that will happen. Fingers crossed for the Georgia Senate seats. I’ll be donating to both candidates.

I celebrated on Saturday with a great bottle of wine and I got a little choked up to see Kamala on the stage. For a moment on Saturday I was driving around town and I had a stunning moment where I felt “back to normal.” I think we’ve all been so traumatized by the last 4-5 years.

Otherwise, not too much happened this weekend. I went to my appointment and did my nails, then on Sunday I literally did nothing all day. I was the spuddiest of the couch potato spuds. I haven’t done a day of nothing for probably 8-9 months. It was so extra FI sent me this meme 😂

Otherwise SSDD. Hiking with FSIL tonight. It’s cold and I feel bad for my staff (and tomorrow for me) as we sit outside all day to screen. I also must be getting my period soon because I want to eat everything and my stomach needs to chill. Clearly I am not starving and it would be nice if that message would reach my appetite.

levioosa · November 2020

Some other election related memes I found hilarious.

CharmedPam · November 2020

Lol @levioosa, those are great *stealing*

@short+sassy, thanks for the vacinne update! And the run down so I don’t have to read the story. I hate reading!

I was actually in Chicago this weekend, hearing the horns and partiers. It was a gorgeous day and M and I had a fab weekend together. Then, I got a call on Sunday night from M saying his Dad was rushed to the hospital. They can’t do anything but wait at home, so I know this sucks for him. Wish I could do more than being a phone call away

edit to add: not covid, just a high fever and in and out of consciousness. At least I think they ruled out Covid?

I've never done Sullivan's though I hear it is great. I want to do it with my niece so maybe DS will follow her lead

kvruns · November 2020

@CharmedPam I hope his dad is feeling better and recovers soon. That is nerve wracking for sure.

banana468 · November 2020

In dumb drama, my suspicions are confirmed that DH's cousin has restricted my access to her FB profile.

Now, both DH and I voted for the same candidate. But I spoke out against her commentary that mail in ballots are a joke and was in favor of Kamala Harris as the first female VP because some of DH's family members are single issue voters and can't be in favor of her because she's pro choice.

Even if you can't be a Christian and a racist or see the human rights atrocities actively committed under this administration, see how horribly US citizens are treated in areas like PR or the active passing of misinformation related to the coronavirus somehow Trump was the better candidate according to them based on how he protected life. OK.

levioosa · November 2020

@CharmedPam good vibes for M’s dad.

OliveOilsMom · November 2020

Living for this weekend! Such wonderful news! And then that hilarious press conference with Rudy! That landscaping business is across from a crematorium and next to an adult book store in a very industrial area of Philly! I've seen some hilarious things about that!

H and I got the first countertop done. It took about double the amount of time to do, but we had some things to figure out along the way and we anticipated needing to do some things, but not spackle and paint the walls due to a lower "backsplash" area on the countertops than what was on the old ones. And to do the sink area, which is our long piece of countertop and also needs to be mitered together, we will need to forego having a sink for a few days. But the first one looks amazing, even without painting the cabinets yet!

The ILs came over on Sunday for dinner for BILs birthday. It was beautiful out, so we were able to keep all the windows and screen doors open. We were also able to spread to eat, so it worked well. DD was very happy to have "her visitors", as she said.

mrsconn23 · November 2020

My work computer was a POS today, so I had to shut down everything but the site we use for email processing.

I worked Saturday, but I had an hour+ dance party in my bedroom while I was getting ready for dinner out with DH. I haven't wanted to dance like that in a very long time. I felt like myself again for the first time in over a year. I am trying to hold on to that feeling.

My local BFF and her whole family came over for a little bit Saturday afternoon while her daughter was between soccer games in our town. Our first restaurant was scuttled because they were closed unexpectedly for the weekend and didn't cancel our reservation. We found somewhere else to go at the last minute and it was very good. Also because the weather was so nice and people were so happy and celebratory, being downtown was a lot of fun.

Yesterday, we just hung out at home.

kerbohl · November 2020

I had a lovely weekend - spent most of it outside. I went for a long hike with family - we were out for about six hours. Sunday we did online church, then I did another walk with my parents and then did yard work outside. And it was the Breeders Cup, so I watched some of the races, but the horses I was cheering for did horribly. But that's part of the fun!
Hubby and I had a funny argument tonight. I decided that this year I will put up stockings, since we have a nice fireplace so why not! And I thought we would get six, one for each of the animals and then for him and me. But he had the audacity to suggest that the rabbits don't get their own stockings each but the dog does! The dog is too full of herself as it is, thinking she's better than the rabbits .... I think we've decided that we will get three stockings - one for each human in the house, and one for all the pets.

RABBIT EQUALITY

climbingsingle · November 2020

I celebrated all day Saturday with many glasses of champagne. People in my hometown were dancing in the streets all day. I totally got choked up many times during the weekend. It was a good feeling.

charlotte989875 · November 2020

I also celebrated, but with the longest fastest run I’ve had since the baby!

I’ve also been avoiding the coverage of trump refusing to concede and all the Republicans continuing to stand by his ridiculous claims.

Its a new day!
