I haven't been able to sleep these days before the election. So I had a couple of drinks last night, took a Melatonin and crashed. But, then I woke up to the reality and had a good boo-hoo. I watched Leave It To Beaver reruns and it reminded me of a simpler time. ( even though it still bugs me that June Cleaver wore pearls to vacuum in)
