I Keep Waking Up in the Morning Thinking the Election Hasn't Happened Yet

The last several days in a row, I keep waking up in the morning ready to check the polls and for about 30 second completely forgetting that the election already happened. In fact, sitting here now, just thinking about it, its kind of strange that it is over. It feels like it is still happening, that there are polls I need to look at, news I need to read, new projections out there. Part of me still feels a sense of concern. It was such a major part of my focus for so long that it felt like it was never going to actually happen.

Maybe I need a vacation

My goal after Pres Obama won was: To get a good nights sleep.

Now, I can't wake up.
