That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am having the worst lazy day. The things I can't get the energy to do are quite mindboggling. Like, picking up the remote control seems to be way outside of my capability right now. Anywhere I sit, I'm going to be for at least ten minutes.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

So voter turnout in Madison, WI today is projected to be 119%

My sister tells me ballot shortages in Milwaukee and Racine. Motherfuckers.

And a hot boyfriend who said I could post this picture: [link].

That is a...really nice picture. Really.

On other matters -

Dear dog: I put that leftover pasta in your bowl. It is for you. You do not need to sneak up, gobble a bite and dash back out over and over again. It is for you.

P.S. I will remove the cat this one time. If she muscles you out of your food again, you're on your own. Dog up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, brenda -- your dog can read??

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Nice.

Not nice:

There were exactly 13 ballots left at our polling station when Ryan voted at 7:40pm.

Is there anything they can do to let more people vote if they run out of ballots?

Maybe photocopy some more?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh dear. On the one hand, yay high turnout, but if anyone can't vote because there aren't ballots, that's seriously fucked up.

If I learned anything from the Far Side, it's that dogs can write (which I think implies reading) but they can't spell.

Polls are closed, but NBC News declares the race too close to call.

Considering how Walker was up 7% (give or take) in polls, I guess this is good news.

This is seriously fucked:

"This is what I did," she told the guy from the election board, who was sitting on a window sill, while an observer from the state Democratic party looked on. "I took the turnout from 2008 and 2010 and I averaged them, and I ordered 1100 ballots for 203. They sent me 700. And I'm also thinking that my own estimate was low. So, I sent something I thought was low, and they didn't even send me that many. The rest of them are back in the warehouse. Now, I'm thinking there's going to be a rush at about five o'clock when people get out of work, and they're telling me to call them when I get down to 100 ballots left. I'm going to call them when I have 200 ballots left, just to make sure there's enough time for them to get here."

She should have estimated much higher in the first place, given the high interest in the election. I mean, duh.
