No news

 Still no news on the election, the numbers are staying tight.  How long, just depends on many things.  Biden made a good speech saying he wants to be everyone's president and heal the nation but he wants all votes counted.

By evening my cellulitis was much better by the evening - at last.  My foot still hurts a lot when I walk, darn.

We had a bagel at Panera this morning and then we went to HyVee for groceries.  All the handicap parking spots were full, very unusual.  I was worried that no electric cart but there were a couple available.  

Back to HyVee in the evening for Chinese dinners.

Election news or no news

 Still no new president.  The numbers have stayed about the same.  In the evening trump got on TV to complain about all his imagined voter fraud and ballots that were appearing out of thin air, etc.  The network we were watching cut him off because of all the lies he was spreading.  Meanwhile Biden was saying he wants every ballot counted.

My cellulitis is about the same today, still red and swollen and my foot still hurts.  We stuck around home.  Grilled brats for dinner.  Then watched some more of the election stuff.  Not much else on TV.

Returns

 First thing I wanted to know this morning was how the voting was going.  Biden looks to be ahead, but not a sure thing.  

I had a podiatrist appointment today.  He took a lot of old skin off my problem foot and in the process found another small blister.  When I took my shoe off at his office I noticed what looked like cellulitis, it must have just started.  The doctor mentioned that right off and gave me an antibiotic prescription.  No wonder I had chills during the night.  He also gave me a prescription for some antibiotic lotion, when Don went to fill that prescription they told him it was $140.00 and they didn't have it on hand, would have to order.  Don called me and I said forget it.  The antibiotic pills were only $9.00.

My foot was really hurting the rest of the day. 

We went out for dinner and got to the parking lot when I realized I was going to vomit and I did.  Don went in and got some carry-out.  When we got home I just, just made it to the bathroom to vomit some more.  Then I felt much better but only ate soda crackers and ginger ale for the evening.

We watched some more of the election returns.  The TV channel we watch is pro Biden so they were finding ways he could win.  To be honest - still a toss-up.

Voting Day in the USA

 Such nice weather for November, breaking temperature records!  Nice day for voting, we voted by mail a couple weeks ago so don't have to deal with crowds.  We watched returns on TV until about 11PM when things seemed to be stuck.  Looked like maybe trump was ahead but still hope for Biden.

In the morning we went to the new Menards (home store).  It is only about four blocks from our house, a huge store and very nice.  It was my first time there, I took an electric cart and really cruised around the store.  Don had several things he wanted as usual.  I bought some pine scented wax for my warmer, a whole $1.99.

I made tuna casserole for dinner, not Don's favorite but mine.

 

Warmer

 Once again it's Monday and my day to clean the house.  I'm always glad when it is done and done for the week less a few little pick up jobs!

In the afternoon I spent some time on the computer and caught up on some things.  We grilled pork chops for dinner as the weather has taken a turn to the warmer.

 We got an extra hour of sleep thanks to going off Daylight Savings Time.  We went to Valley Cafe for the second time, they have good breakfasts - particularly their omlets.  Some of the same people were there as last time so must be regulars.

Came home and watched the Sunday News Shows and read the Sunday newspaper as usual.  Everything is about the election at this point.  One network show all but declared Biden as winner then the other network show was leaning toward trump.  So it is a toss-up and nerve wracking.

Sheila came over for a visit in the afternoon.  We got sandwiches from Arby's for dinner and watched some more news.  Now, thanks to DST, we go to bed an hour later so we were getting tired early!
