What to do on a day like this

I read stuff online. I watched and taped Kerry's concession speech. I ripped out weeks of work I had done on a crocheted prayer shawl. I was 2/3ds finished with it. I didn't like that it was just way too wide. I started over. And I thought up what to put on my webpage where my Kerry stuff had been. I made the graphic mentioned in the previous post.

It's raining again. This is the dark time of the year. This is a dark time for our country. I don't know how we are going to get through the next four years. That's why I thought of the candle, and then I thought of Jesse Jackson. We somehow have to get through this. I just hope there is some semblance of a democracy left after another four years of Bush and Co.

The thing that made me cry this morning was when I opened the door for Bunnicula, when he was going out to get some bread. On the doorknob outside was a hangtag ad from some group urging us to vote. It must've been put there yesterday afternoon, after we had voted and were making ready for the evening. It was from a liberal organization. I took it and looked at it and thought, "We VOTED. We did everything we *could*!" And then I started to cry.
