I had to wait behind one person to check in, and my ballot was the 10th one counted at my precinct ~7:30am. Big crowd for my polling place!
Grey pantsuit with orange shell and I Voted sticker. Now waiting for the bus - there's an actual shelter and bench at this stop! Luxury.
I love us.
I am working from home today so I did parental experimenting this morning and did not get mac up. Shocker, he just slept in until I finally did wake home up a full hour after normal time. Highschool starts late here (8:45) so he still got to school on time, BUT DEAR GOD! He has zero responsibility. ALSO? he did not let the dog out last night before bed, so the dog had dumped in his room (not idea how he slept with that smell this morning). I was overcome by the smell when cleaning it up that I got sick.
So, that was my morning. late kid, dog poop, throwing up. I am so glad I voted early.
Oh yeah, also my dad has been taken into surgery, so now that 5-6 hour wait has started. Oy.
Oh, msbelle, that is a rough start to the day. All good wishes and ~ma for your dad!
My day also started with vomit (at 3:40 am), courtesy of the elder child. Poor noodle. At least she was starting to feel better by the time I left for work at 8.
Best thoughts to your dad, Rebecca. Less good thoughts to your kid!
thinking of you, {{msbelle}}
Sorry, msbelle. Not a easy start.
I voted. My presidential vote won't make any difference, but the Senator vote might matter. State reps were effectively unopposed.
I am sorry msbelle. Much dad ~ma.
In a separate post, does anyone know about this woman [link] Robin Laverne Wilson, who is running for Senator in New York State? I am thinking about voting for her, because Chuck Schumer is most likely a shoe in.
Sound like a rubbish start, msbelle. Here's hoping all goes well for your dad.
I hate to put a damper on things, but please don't start counting your presidents before they are elected. The last British General Election and (particularly) the Brexit Referendum have made me extremely wary. Now, I would rather prepare for the worst and be pleasantly surprised than expect everything to be fine and suffer a cruel awakening the morning after.
Edit: my point being that not a single advance poll for either predicted the actual results.
