I'll come back to that later. For now, I didn't really sleep last night--I didn't stay up following the returns either, I lay in bed alternately thinking of my beloved and brooding, and looking as the clock ticked away the dark hours. And I've concluded, before the stimulants wore off completely, that I should neither make nor change any plans or decisions tonight.

Aye. I try to cling to what I knew to be true yesterday: the green world, the intelligent species I am part of upon that world, and the wide universe in which we spin.
But I remember Eddi McCandry, noting that the world looked no different after she'd won, because what they were fighting for was to save what was good, and it's suddenly little comfort that the world looks the same as it did a day ago. Fitting that tonight's forecast is for cold enough to kill annuals and other tender plants.
And those large truths, life and physics and human intelligence and skill, are harder to cling to than the specifics, the people I love and who I know love me. *hug*
