Oh, I wasn't really commenting on your statement so much as it reminded me that I did vote in person once this year and how strange that seems.

I just remembered that I had a secret plan to make tuna salad to eat on my weaksauce grocery store bagels instead of the truly terrible Panera cream cheese. This is still a good plan! Lunch is saved!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is everything not a direct response to me???!?!?!?

(heh)

Well, what I *should* have said was bummer no stickers!

Tuna salad on bagel accomplished and can confirm, good idea. Well done, thinking about tomorrow's luch while trying to fall asleep past -t!

I got on the phone and talked to a tax person! He's pretty sure I don't owe money, but rather than attempt to respond myself, I'm going to send him all my documentation and pay him to handle the response to the IRS.

Now I just need to figure out how to scan this IRS letter with my phone or if I'll need to go to the UPS store since the library is still closed.

Hooray, tax person! Glad you have someone to deal with that for you! That seems like something that could quickly become a nightmare but might be much more manageable for someone who is not personally involved to work out

This seems like a good approach. I hope he can get it worked out with minimal bother to you.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Planning on in-person early voting so I can be use my vote is counted.(Granted, I live in a very blue part of a blue state, but every bit helps)

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I had this conversation recently like, "We just went in to vote in the presidential primary?? Like it was nothing?? Yes, it was March 3."

Yes, and here in Nashville it was also the day after a tornado ripped through our neighborhood and several polling places were closed due to damage, so everyone voted in one location. The lines were crazy -- I waited at least 2 hours, maybe more -- but also people were chatting and checking in with friends and neighbors and there was this great sense of the community pulling together to help each other out. Then just over a week later, lockdown.
