I Love Tuesdays

One week later and I am still in shock. Like everyone else who blogs, I feel the need to put something down to mark such an historic, nation changing, nation shaping event and I figure that within 1 week, it still counts as current. I sent a text message to pretty much everyone in my phone (except for my die hard conservative friends). Below are all of the texts I received about the election over a 30 hr period, including the responses to my text. I heard back from people I hadn’t talked to in years, highlighting for me how enormous the collective sense of relief, freedom, and change was. My text was sent at 19:15, it is italicized

(And a side note: Tuesday is apparently going to be the most superior day of the week this year. .last week was the end of stupid-people-in-charge era, and today it’s dumping in Alaska. . .did I mention I’m back in AK these days.? . happy like a clam).
