Final results still to come, but from the polls that were counted, it is a big sweep for the Democrats. Hurray! Uh Huh. I was texting with my sisters. We three were So happy! West Coast remains to be counted. Speaking for Northern California, it is true Blue. Tomorrow the results will be final. Trump said it was because his name wasn’t on the ballot. WRONG. It is because of Trump’s harmful policies that the Democrats won in such a huge , unprecedented way. Populist backlash. This is historic.
Apart from all that excitement, a little disruption on the home front. Myra hurt her foot. She went to the hospital to get it x-rayed. Good news, it’s just bruised, not broken. For me, I’ve come to depend on her. Of course she can’t pick up my meds now. It happens a lot. Menopause, special events (holidays), housing issues. She is absolutely the best when she is here. I have come to depend on her. So, I plan around her being here. In the past, she sends her son, Nick, in her absence. Nick now has a job working with a maladjusted teen. The stories they tell, makes me feel that helping me is a walk in the park comparatively. I could take a taxi to the pharmacy. That would add $25. And, yes, I know what an injured foot feels like.
It’s a kick in the pants. There are ways to deal with this. Going to the pharmacy, I can ask my doctor to have it sent directly to my mailbox, for example. That will be a process. Going to the local grocer, wheeling the groceries home is difficult with the uphill grade and heavy gates here. But, I have done it. I’m not lazy, my ability to walk is not up to ‘on-the-road’ standard.
Those worries are nothing. I am being selfish.
The most important issue right now is trying to keep touch with Patti in her last hours. And that is the truth.
