One of my friends and colleagues asked me if I might join a town board since I wasn't elected state rep, and I am distressed (I guess?) to say that my reaction was to tell him that I didn't know if I really wanted to spend my retirement time working for the people of Northwood at this point.
I have really, really tried to move from the campaign directly into figuring out how to fix things that went wrong, and that may not work, emotionally. I may have to do that damn, time-wasting, grieving thing, one stage of which is anger. I know myself well enough to know that it has to be channelled fairly quickly or it eats me, but I might just have to go through some of it anyway.
Fair warning.
