Plowing Through Election Anxiety
Special *can't sleep, might as well send a newsletter* edition
Hay. You will get through this day. And you’ll get through tomorrow. And you’ll get after the day after that, too. And if you’re feeling stressed out? We give you permission to boop our snoots. (Try it, it’s surprisingly cathartic.)
And if that doesn’t work, may we suggest trawling the internet until you find something that makes you laugh?
Digging a hole and burying your head in the sand is an option, too.
Or you can just go full potato mode, pulling your head into your body and wrapping yourself in the warmth of a fluffy feather comforter until the day is over.
Of course, eating your feelings is a great choice.
We do that a lot around here. Have you considered just strapping a bucket of snacks around your neck for the day? Totally recommend it.
Just make sure you take time to rest when you need it.
And take comfort from those who love you.
Get some fresh air and sunshine if you can.
And stay hydrated. Have you had some water today? Maybe go get a glass.
Truly, there is only one rule on this most stressful election day:
Don’t be a jerk. To yourself, to your family, or to any other stressed out soul you encounter. We’re all having a real time.
And, of course:
Beautiful pictures. Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing - love the pics.
After sending hundreds of postcards to swing states, I'm clearing my head. Instead of bingeing on political news, I'm moving closet-sized shrubs, researching native plants and playing with horses.
