I don’t do well at these things. My husband would have gone with me, but with him gone now, it’ll be my first neighborhood event without him, so am nervous. Even if I do go, I’ll be home to either cheer widely, or be bawling and swearing to wake the neighbors NOT at the election party. I’m gonna try and stay up as long as I can.
