Kat, hopefully they have already referred you to a Genetic Counselor,who will prove to be much more helpful than the physicians on something like this.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

In and out of the polling place by 8 am. Ran into my favorite state delegate, Mary Washington, as I was leaving (she was there to vote. For herself, I assume!)

I just voted, too. Although I should have waited until I had my caffeine first, because I spoiled my first ballot and had to do it over. The clickety-clack machines wouldn't let you vote for two candidates for the same office!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Back from the voting. Definitely more turnout than usual at my precinct -- Durham is pissed at all these shenanigans, yo.
I believe I will not vote for Thom Tillis again tomorrow, in fact.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Thanks, Kat, that is exactly the sort of insight I can use. References to charter schools always set of alarm bells in my head, although that is not always justified.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I voted early, because VA allows you to do that if you work outside your county of residence. It's been a quiet election cycle in my area -- even the campaigning at the Metro station has been minimal.

Our wings are not tired.

The scanners won't let you either, or so I found out. I ended up having 3 ballots printed because I messed up the first one, then the poll dude voided the wrong one and they had to print another. I told him I thought he was just trying to make me feel better.
I was going to let the mistake go, but it was attorney general for the state and I didn't want the other guy. So I marked twice to void it, I thought. The scanner spit it back out.
I voted for marijuana!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I was pleased to be able to do a write-in vote against the St Louis County prosecutor, who is otherwise running unopposed.

Voting achieved. I don't have to get anything else done today if I've done that, right? Right.

Since I work for the city, I get off of work today! So this is literally true for me.
