I had five hours of sleep. I got to bed late and Leif got up early.
I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I got the first night's undisturbed sleep in over a week. It's amazing what 7 uninterrupted hours can do for you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I had one of those mornings of abrupt awakening where I decide that if I don't check and see what time I woke up, I can pretend I slept until just before the alarm and am well rested.
This is of dubious use, since I've since then
- been too nauseous to eat
- spilt just bought (ergo still hot) chai latte in my lap and on my leather coat
- there is no three -- who needs a fucking three?

I'm trying to schedule a maintenance visit (they want to replace some filters and whatnot) and no one at the fucking complex is answering. (and yes, I was trying well before noon.) I'm trying to recall if I've ever successfully contacted them by phone....

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
We had the "We think you're icky, so we don't want to give you any rights" proposition, a homeless shelter bond package, and a strong mayor inititive. And of course the "Should the counties of Whonow and Wherethefuckisthat incorporate the cities of LikeIgiveafuck and Sogladwegettovoteoneverygoddamnedamendment.

I got somewhere between 3 and 4 hours of sleep, maybe. A massive panic attack hit around 11 and listening to my heart trying to beat its way out of my chest was a bit of a snooze killer. Aftershocks woke me up again a 5. Thank goodness I don't get those too often. On the upside I was up and about with plenty of time for voting. On the downside I'll probably fall asleep at my desk in the next 4 seconds or so.

Up with the sun
We had the governor (go Tim Kaine), a bunch of unopposed local offices, and school board.

We had a bunch of city council members running (only one of whom I'd heard of), a mayoral race, and a whole lot of bond measures.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
We had a bunch of local offices (including Mayor), and 4 propositions. The nice thing about voting early in the morning is you don't have to take any of the flyers being handed out on the subway -- "I already voted" will make them leave you alone.
