18. I'm trying to do exactly like you, Tribe!

Nov 12

I've not watched news since the election. Didn't even stay around until it was "announced." When they called the election before the polls were even closed CST, I gave it up and went to bed instead.

I've got sleep problems due to old age and a Circadian clock that has always had a mind of its own (and out of sync with the rest of the US). I don't need to lay there and worry about what *could* happen; I've got enough around here to worry about that I can impact.

My time on DU has even been cut way down, too... as it is online, as a whole. Probably the best for me. DU is the only place I truly feel like "home," anyway. This, and recipe sites. Cooking seems to help me. I got two guys who are always hungry to take care of!
