I Am Just Too Nervous And Almost Can't Watch This....

my stomach is doing flip-flops like a Mitt Rmoney. I would take my blood pressure - but I'm afraid to for fear it is really too high.

I need some good news - like a win in Virginia or Ohio.

I keep turning the TV off and then back on. I just want Virginia and Ohio in the Obama camp early.

Stuff that needs to get done but like I said, boring. Too much nervous energy. I'm trying to put it to good use.

I understand how you feel.

At this point she is looking at me going "oh, we're going to sit on the couch...oh, no wait, we're going to the kitchen..oh, now out to the balcony to smoke...". Poor doggie has given up on me settling down anywhere for more than a minute!

My fingernails are already bitten down(this was yesterday, while obsessively reading DU every ten minutes on a day off..), and now I don't know if I can stand to watch the news come in at all... I am either going to try to keep busy in the kitchen making Michelle Obama's cookie recipe(but the TV would be in earshot) or drink some tequila straight and hope it just knocks me out and I can find out tomorrow...
