We have a new president-elect who seems to genuinely care about whether Americans are doing well or not. I feel 17 again-full of the same overpowering feelings of hope and possibility--as when I graduated so many thousands of days ago when I campaigned for the late George McGovern. I am pinching myself that we may be living with a thinking, planning, goal oriented compassionate government. And that the United States is on its way to becoming United.
My mother the ardent Republican told me three days post- Obama Tsunami that she is now hoping for the best. That's a great attitude Mom. I think AZ is really agreeing with you!
It's been a huge week in so many ways; court for James, dental work for daughter, a new President; so long to many Republic congressional fixtures; my former reporter MrsDomestic is my neighbor again at work; you can't imagine how lovely it is to look over and see that hardworking, bright newlywed. I feel much less alone on the job now. Grandson's football team won the Grid Kids Superbowl today. I didnt go but James did. I cant tolerate football games of any age or size since I can remember so I dont even try to fake it. College roommate was here with his friend and such a nice breakfast. I felt whole for having my friend of 30 years at the table with me. We had a fantastic Greek dinner last night with a fun young couple in their late 30s-such young energy and so engaged in their small happy life. I loved listening to them. I have books and magazine to read but I cant concentrate so its incessant online reading and online Scrabble. My Portland son (and only son) is coming to see us for a few days Mon-Wed. I cant wait. I miss he and his San Francisco sister...my oldest beautiful daughter so much. Never mind they are heading for 25 and 23.
Another court date in early Dec.
Please let us be done and let it be fair.
I have been beyond tired all week. So it's 6 p.m. and in the nightgown. I did get James Xmas gift today. Now I feel better. It was on sale. Dont think he reads my blog, but its QT cause you never know!TTFN

It's great to be back working with you as well! So, very very glad that I am not only in a great place of employment, but feel at home with a good friend.
Christmas shopping already? You are officially more festive than even I. I just picked out my holiday color scheme (wine and gold).
Merry, early, Christmas and happy holidays. Peace on earth and cheer to a very hopeful four years of CHANGE. God knows we need it.
