November 3rd approaches—Election Day in the United States. I voted early on the first day I was allowed to in Florida, but I still have to view the endless barrage of political advertisements.
It’s too bad one cannot opt out of the ads once one has cast his/her vote. It’s not like I can say, “Oh! Wait! I’ve decided to vote for the lying, cheating misogynistic ass currently occupying the White House because, DAMN that last ad was so freaking good!”
So, I’ve turned to my good friends, Mr. Guinness and Ms. Wine to help me through this trying time. The first one relaxes me and the second lulls me to sleep. They allow me to view the ads through a pleasant fog.
Don’t worry—I’m not overdoing it. One Guinness and one glass of red wine per night is the rule. Okay, maybe occasionally I’ll have an extra half glass of wine, but only if the bottle is almost empty.
Now, on election night all bets are off. I’ve bought champagne and I’m going to drink it regardless. If Trump wins, I’ll likely cry as I indulge, but if Biden wins, I might just bathe in the stuff.
Please keep us in your thoughts. Send good vibes. Pray if that’s your thing. Guinness and wine, while comforting, can’t do either of those things.
Peace, people!


I used to drink Guinness before I found wine. You will all be in our thoughts, Leslie

I’m probably going to need a bottle (or 2 or 3) waiting for me at home after we get back from the polls on Tuesday. Hell, if necessary, I’m breaking out the shots!

I voted early by mail. I agree there should be a switch on the tv and radio to stop the ads. I like your way of dealing with it. I might try it also.

Bathing in champagne if Joe wins! I love it. And we need to wear our pearls in honor or RBG too! Hopefully, there will be a lot of us cheering naked in just our pearls while we get sloshed while splashing around in our champagne. Sounds like a plan. I’m ready!!
