Leftcoastzen @JenReadsAlot same here! 1y

AnnR I can't bring myself to watch any updates tonight. That will surely wreak havoc on any hopes for a good night of sleep. 1y

Leftcoastzen @Ann_Reads you are of sound mind and correct. I am a lost cause!😃 1y

JenReadsAlot @Ann_Reads I took off of work tomorrow. I know myself I can't not watch!! 1y

AnnR @Leftcoastzen - Ha! I've done the same as you on election evening, many times before.
@JenReadsAlot - Nice planning. Maybe you can fit in a well deserved nap tomorrow. 1y

Bklover Me too! Tried reading and it‘s definitely not a reading night for me! 1y

goodbyefrancie Giving up and going to bed. So disappointed in so many people. 1y

SamAnne Well, could have been worse....I just couldn't watch much of it last night. Planned a Florida vacation instead..... 1y

The cat memes will still be there. So will your books. Important local ballot initiatives that have real life impact & democracy itself depends on your votes. Please vote.

Took an hour start to finish, most of it waiting in line, but I rocked the early vote. They don‘t give out cool stickers here but I treated myself to a chocolate chai from South Bend Chocolate and as it was much too foggy and icky to wander around downtown, here‘s a pic of it in my car.

Sace Woo hoo! 🙌 That Chai sounds delicious! 4y

CocoReads @Sace it‘s so good. I don‘t really like coffee so I drink a lot of tea but hardly ever do this one because of the extra sugar. But it‘s like chai and hot cocoa all blended in to one delicious beverage. Luckily I don‘t go downtown very often so it‘s a treat only. 4y

I‘ve given up reading, but still trying to audiobook and Litsy while I spazz about election results.

I don‘t even live in Texas, y‘all... but this one has me so anxious. 😫

I just realized that 2 years ago I was Litsying and stressing out while I watched results come in. I‘m hoping for a different result tonight, but I‘m so glad I still have Litsy and all of you to get me through! 🤗

vivastory I have very vivid memories of freaking out on Litsy 2 years ago as the results came in. It's actually one of my earliest Litsy memories as I had just joined a couple of weeks earlier. Fingers crossed the results are better!!! 5y

jpmcwisemorgan I live in Texas and I‘m trying really hard not to freak out. 5y

Eggbeater I'm freaking out over Congress in general. I get it. I can't eat. 5y

sprainedbrain @jpmcwisemorgan bless you!! My fingers are so crossed. 🤞🏻 5y

Sharpeipup I just moved to Texas so this is all I‘ve heard about since I got here... 5y

HardcoverHearts I am so anxious I could puke! 5y

VioletBramble Ugh! NBC just called it for Cruz by 2%. 5y

sprainedbrain @VioletBramble I know... how people keep electing that walking 💩 is just beyond me. 5y

vivastory He's like a bad Scooby Doo villain 5y

sprainedbrain @vivastory Yes! And if you pull the mask off he‘s just a walking pile of 💩. 😂 5y

vivastory And he would have gotten away with it too! 😂 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage I‘m so sad about Beto. And Andrew Gillum too. Still hoping for Abrams. 😢😢 5y

sprainedbrain @BarbaraTheBibliophage Same here. 😢 (edited) 5y

JamieArc Sad, but now we can focus on Beto for President, right? 😊🤞🏻. 5y

sprainedbrain @JamieArc 🙌🏻 5y

Maewyn I thought the Georgia ejection would be a forgone Republican conclusion so I am glad that it is at least looking like we might need a run off ejection. 🤞🏼 5y

sprainedbrain @Maewyn 🤞🏻 for you all! Just imagine how GA might have turned out of it had been completely fair. 🤬 5y

Maewyn If things were completely fair we wouldn't have our current administration.😞 5y

sprainedbrain @Maewyn so true! 5y

I keep the library open late and we provide homemade cookies on voting days. We‘ve had record numbers here today: 170 people in the library, assigned 10 new library cards, and had about 2,000 voters.

MelissaSue81 Is the library a polling place? That‘s a great way to engage new patrons! 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa That‘s great! 5y

802Librarian @MelissaSue81 Same building, polling is upstairs in the theater. We‘re sandwiched between the theater and the town offices, it‘s a great setup! (edited) 5y

ValerieAndBooks Wow! Hope there were enough cookies for everyone...they look delicious 😋 5y

802Librarian @ValerieAndBooks Just enough... thankfully we were smart enough to make a double batch! 🍪🍪 5y

Suet624 I can‘t believe I missed so many of your posts! 5y

802Librarian @Suet624 And I don‘t even post that much 😆. I hope you are well and staying cozy in our suddenly arrived winter ❄️ 5y
