I've been low key worried about right wing militias or the like starting some widespread organized violence for so long that I don't feel appreciably more worried now. I suppose the likelihood is greater and could certainly get higher with election reactions but it feels like the same worry.

We got the heat advisory on through Wednesday, and I was thinking about going into the office to take advantage of their A/C, but today isn't even really hot yet and it's already too oppressively warm to be wearing clothes, so I don't know.

I have ice cream and frozen peas, though, so I am that much prepared, at least.

I'll be honest, I'm getting all of our paperwork ready to move to Canada if necessary. M & Peanut are both fine, they're both Canadian citizens, it's just me that might have difficulties. But I finally got my passport back (after sending it in on March 1), so I've got that going for me.

My voting plans are as follows:

1) Vote early in-person at town hall for our state primary (for US Senate, not POTUS) on August 22nd (election is September 1)

2) Request a mail-in ballot for the general election, and drop it off in person on the first day of in-person early voting

2a) If I don't receive a mail-in ballot, or if something else changes for the worse, I will vote early, in-person.

2b) If something else changes for the worse, my family has instructions to dress up my debilitated body or actual corpse and make me/it vote in person, on election day, Weekend at Bernie's style.

That's sensible, juliana.

I don't blame you a bit, juliana.

juliana, I don't blame you a bit, either; I wish I had that option. My grandfather was Canadian but I don't think that gets me in. I can't leave my sister anyway, and I doubt she'd be willing to uproot her life to go anywhere.

I also wish I had that option. My family came from Canada at one point, but I'm guessing the 18th century is a little too far back.

So, I did forget a bill - my water bill is due bimonthly so it's easy to forget. Actually looked at the bill to confirm the due date and noticed that my water usage for April-June was 0, which somehow makes my bill $150. Ain't that a thing?

None of that sounds right!
