Anybody here thinking of taking Wednesday off?

I think I am going to take a vacation day. No matter how things go, I don't think I am going to be able to focus on work. I really hope DU is going to be functioning. I don't know what I would do without it.

Either way I will need time to recover. Plus I'll be making dog treats for our United Way bake sang at work on Thursday.

last month I would be taking a vacation day. He know where I'm coming from so he wasn't surprised. He's what used to be called Rockefeller republican. He voted for Hillary.

Gotta keep my mind busy.

I've been doing some of those 538.com simulations and we aren't going to learn control of the House until late in the evening--and those California districts aren't final until several days later when all mail-in ballots are counted

And I would rather poke my eye with a hot needle than make Substitute plans. I'll bide.

But I do understand the thought behind doing it.
