Insomnia of a Political Kind

Can't watch TV---too many political ads.
Can't listen to the radio---too many political ads.
Can't do email---too many "please donate" emails.
Can barely get through home page on Facebook---too many political ads.

So what do two Washingtonians do the weekend before the most important election in their lifetime?

Since this election is such a nail-biter, we're getting our nails done. And I don't care if that's politically incorrect. I know I should be knocking on doors, making phone calls and soliciting for last-minute donations. But I'm old and tired and I gave my attention and a whole lot more too.

So I've done early voting and now I'm worrying about how New York and New Jersey are going to vote this Tuesday. These things wake me up at 3 am and then I can't fall back to sleep. I've got political insomnia. So now, what do you worry about when you can't sleep? Politics or bills?

  1. I worry about getting back to sleep. I think my insomnia may be beer related. I'm taking a beer and high glycemic index foods hiatus and see if that evens things out.

    I don't like anyone else futzing around with my finger or toe nails.

    Keeping my fingers crossed we continue with the forward momentum.
