Not Enough Coffee in the World

Punch returns tomorrow by about 5 p.m.

It has been a mostly peaceful break.

But not enough coffee in the world with this vote counting. I feel like all I did from 9:30 to 6 was call or text to discuss it with Sis and friends; pour another cup of coffee; listen to NPR in the kitchen and CNN in the living room, both on a constant loop; almost step on Sugar, since she is always underfoot; take her out constantly (she tinkles MANY times a day, a few on our wood floors); and write about Paris in between for ASPIRE DESIGN AND HOME. 

I really want to ge back to Pari/Paree. This lovely interior designer, a man with an incredible eye on style, told me some great things to do on a winter stroll, like visit a French candlemaker, walk in the gardens, go the oldest patisserie in Paris (which might not work right now for me, unless they have berries and cream). But a cup of steaming coffee with cream in that gilded place sounds good.

God bless America--especially New York City--and Paris, London, Munich, Madrid, This pandemic weighs heavily on the holiday spirit.

Good night.
