*All politics aside…*
This past election season someone was at our door asking questions about the upcoming election. My husband answered the door, but as soon as he realized her reason, he quickly called me downstairs. Now, I LOVE to talk about politics (local only), so I enjoyed the candor. We chatted effortlessly for 30+ minutes, we found like twelve things we had in common, I showed her my new e-scooter and we exchanged phone numbers so that after the election was over, we could celebrate our party’s successes.
Election happened – our political party was successful and I messaged her expressing my interest in getting together for a drink to celebrate. This all transpired BEFORE we started swinging. I considered her a new friend and she was a neighbor – literally less than a five minute walk from our house.
*Fast forward to January*
