Nightsweats and a kick ass website....

Good evening all!

Well, I am on my own tonight. Franz is playing soccer and Buddy is wiped out from doggie daycare. So I have a few free moments to write.

I had something strange happen to me very early this morning. I must have had a nightmare, because I woke up exhausted and I had sweat completely through my sheets. The ones beneath me and on top of me! But, and this is not like me at all, I don't remember a single thing. I always remember my dreams. Usually in pretty good detail, too. Not this time. Not a bit. It kinda has me concerned.

I have developed a theory, though. I think my subconscious just processed the fact that Bush got re-elected, well, elected for the first time, anyway.

Anyway, I think it finally figured it out and sent the signal to my body to be completely and utterly terrified. And, of course, my body listened to it because, well, it's the brain... it's supposed to be smart. My body listened in spite of the fact that it already knew he had gotten elected because it already went through the tummyache and all the assorted aches and pains associated with horrific disappointment. But, no, the subconscious had to take some time to come to grips with it. And I ended up with a terribly uncomfortable and clammy morning as a result.

(sigh)

Anyway, I found a kick ass website, thanks to my friend Cassandra. It is as follows: http://72.3.131.10

It has about a million pictures of people holding up small signs, everything from Post It Notes to cardboard posters saying that they are sorry that Bush got elected. In essence, thousands of Americans are apologizing to the world for what Bush is going to do in the next four years. But, as interesting as that is, that is not the best part. The best part is all the people in other countries that are holding up posters of their own saying that they understand, and they don't hate us and they are sorry, too. And lots are offering couches, rooms in their homes and free meals/beer to anyone who wants to come and stay with them in Germany, Canada, etc. It is heartwarming to see that people understand that we tried our hardest, and that they don't hate America as a result of our failure to put the better man in office.

I love the world. I love the people in it. I hope we all make it these next four years. And I hope we learn from the mistakes of 2004.

Love to all,

Sherry
