Happy Election Day! (+ a Geeky Holiday List)

If you haven't already, please make sure to vote today. Also, if you haven't registered to vote check to see if you live in a state that allows you to register and vote on the same day. Go to vote.org to find all the information about voting.

Today and probably the next few days are going to be stressful. Here's a quick reminder that it’s okay to take a break from all the election news. Don’t keep checking or scrolling through the news all day. So, to give yourself a break, put down or turn off your phone. Don't watch the news or election result shows. Here is a small list of things you can do: watch shows and movies that interest you. Spend time out in nature or go for a walk. Listen to music that interest you. Draw or knit. Hopefully, you will find something to do that interest you so you're not stressed.

Election Day is a stressful day, eventually we will know the results, so until then, take a deep breath (or several) and try your best to relax. And as always don't forget to vote. Below is a small Election themed Geeky Holiday List, for more, here are my other lists: (1, 2 and 3).
