#218 - Debate Stress

​Last Night

​Yesterday, Don and I were feeling pretty wonderful when we got back from visiting my Dad. I still don't know how we managed to find 2 days of picnic weather in the midst of a stormy, cold week.

After weeks of figuring out how to have a safe visit during a pandemic, we felt happy and relieved that we'd pulled it off. We arrived back at our Branson hotel in time to have a quick toast outside. When in the Ozarks... have a giant beer!

Last Presidential Debate

Then it was up to our room to grab a bite of dinner before the last debate. Maybe I should have had a giant beer first.

I honestly had no idea what to expect, after the out of control debate, in September. Supposedly they were going to use a mute button when needed. 

I'm not even sure if they used a mute button at all. Trump seemed oddly sedated this time. No ranting. No talking over Biden. But it was still stressful. Just hearing the comment, "There is no one in this room that is less racist than me." No wise and honest person, would ever say that.

Over

Suddenly the debate was over and I tried not to overthink it. I watched the  wives come onto the stage. Melania wore her mask.

Jill's mask was coordinated with her outfit. Joe, put his on. The cameras didn't the show the "guests". I assume the Trump "kids" kept theirs on, this time. I know. It's not all about masks, but I couldn't help but notice.

It was easier to go to sleep last night, than after September's debate.  

Rain Today

​Woke to chilling temps and thunderstorms. I'm so glad we already had our 2 picnic days with Dad.

Today was a reading and puzzle day, before we head back home to Texas. A dozen days till election.
