Woohoo, we have a washer now and we can do laundry. We are doing laundry. It was quite an ordeal to get the whole installation done, but I am going to ignore that part.
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Oh, man, I need a flu shot, too. Maybe Tuesday?
And to do laundry, but it's low priority right now. It will become higher priority tomorrow when I have to come up with clean clothes that are appropriate to wear to work, but it's not an urgent need today.

I went to sleep with a bad headache, and woke up with the same. Sleep usually cures a headache, so I'm irritated. Drinking tea, and taking a Rx Aleve,
My mom and sister helped Dad fill out his voting form, and by "helped" I mean filled out and signed. Dad's always voted straight Dem, with the exception of voting for his h.s. buddy (R) who was a judge for many years.
If anone else had tried to "help" my dad, who's in a lock-down memory care unit, vote, fucking heads would roll.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That was my mother's position -- spouse or POA, sure. Anyone else? Hell no.

I'm just glad my folks are both of sound mind, and more proactive about voting than I am (filled out absentee ballots weeks ago thanks to Dad's disability). I have a couple of relatives who are highly religious Trump supporters, and it completely mystifies me how they can't see that anything he says about religion or traditional family values is pure BS. Most of the family is Republican (we're the die-hard Lefty branch), but I suspect a number of the others will be so disgusted by Trump that they hold their noses and vote for Clinton or a third party candidate.

I have mopped my kitchen floor. It's been a long fucking time since that got done. Now to the living room. Well, after I watch and episode of Supernatural. Or maybe while, the living room is where the TV is, after all.
Not that the kitchen is all done, of course, but that's not the goal right now. I'm going for presentable and functional, which is challenge enough.

Ugh. Canvassing calls are the worst. Sending canvassing messages via FB though are simultaneously worse and better. Swing Vote Go is helping me do that. [link]

I think everyone I know on FB is either engaged in the election, or I'm not sure how they would vote!
I have pulled a lot of pork and kind of burned my fingertips. Ah well.

I'm sure it's possible to pull pork without burning your fingers and swearing viciously, but I've never managed it.

I just saw America's Test Kitchen do it with a mixer set on very low.
