VOTE, encourage everyone you KNOW to vote, ignore the polls, don't get cocky or complacent.

I'm having an EXTREMELY HARD TIME ignoring all of the media pieces predicting a Trump loss. This is easily the DIRTIEST election of our lifetime, from the Post Office shenanigans to Trump's multiple court cases to suppress / throw out votes.

Don't pop the champagne corks until Biden is announced as the winner. Work for it, fight for it, focus on it, get tunnel vision over voting and getting everyone you know to vote.

That's my current recipe for sanity. I hope it works for you as well.

Not being "a downer" just reminding people to vote no matter what. My 91 year old neighbor voted after suffering a stroke. Her mind was good but her body is not. Her daughter took her yesterday to early vote. If Thelma can vote you can!
