That's why I have the Food Network on my TV while I work. No matter who you're cheering for in this presidential election, this race is too close to call. And the results matter too much for the country as a whole, and each person who lives here.
At this point, there is nothing I can do. I have voted. I have shared my views and the data on social media and among friends and family. I have watched debates, and declared winners and losers (and I have to admit, had fun mocking mistakes made by the candidate I did not support!)
But now the tension is too high. The stakes are too high. A jump here, a dip there and suddenly I would be elated or upset.
So with my civic duty done (as much as it can be as long as the electoral college remains in place), I will work and write my articles and get ready for tomorrow mornings's interview on YNN*. And I will look up occasionally and watch someone show me a new way to cook carrots or make a pie crust.
Tonight is soon enough for me to be happy or upset.
What about you? Are you watching or listening or checking online for polls and results? Or are you waiting until it's all said and done?
*Tomorrow, I am being interviewed on YNN Austin, and will be demonstrating how to make a 72-hour emergency kit for kids. Check the website after 9:30 CST to find the video!
