Heh. Just got an email saying don't send that letter yet it didn't save correctly. Oh well. But I hope that means the actual letter will make more sense...

Today is a freaking shitshow of a day because I am cursed when it comes to getting technology to work. I decided to get a new phone with spectrum and I came home to get the wifi password and the wifi stopped working. And anyway long story short I'm now on the phone with spectrum to see if there is an internet issue.

And I was going to make dinner but M's mom started something because it was "getting so late and nothing was started" . That was at 4:15. I don't know why I can't remember they eat so freaking early. But they will eat breakfast and then nibble on things and then eat early dinner and then snack when I get home.

I still have to order groceries and I don't know why but I have to make the list and do the order even though I don't do most of the cooking. I buy the groceries (M pays the utilities).

So my day off has been as frustrating as if I was at work. M is currently is currently napping because even though I'm cursed with electronics im still better at dealing with this.

I wanted a lazy day. Maybe Saturday. I feel like this all started when I turned the router over and I only did that instead of asking where we wrote the password down because I didn't want to hear M bitching to whoever he was playing COD with about how he was being pestered

We dropped our ballots off at least three weeks ago, and Matt is tracking them. They've at least been accepted; I don't know if there's anything beyond that.

Accepted should be good. Anything beyond that gets into counting and I don't think any state starts counting votes before election day.

I pre-ordered from the Happy Lobster food truck for dinner tonight! I do miss food-truck Fridays downtown.

I found out that something like 22% of eligible voters in Somerville have already voted, either by 'early' or mail-in. ::waves tiny pompoms::

I feel like today should be Friday. Can we get on that?

+1 from me too, Dana.

I voted! I dropped off my ballot into the ballot box yesterday. No stickers for mailed ballots, but the spirit it there.

It was tough. Honestly I left the Portland mayoral election for the last of the ballot, and it took a fair amount of analysis to come to a decision on that vote. It's an incredibly important election for Portland Mayor.

So, hey, remember how Tim had a 100% collapsed lung 5 1/2 years ago? (Really, when I lead off with that, you know where this is going, more or less, right?) He already had a doctor's appointment scheduled with his primary care doctor today, and before he left, he mentioned to me "I'm having some chest..." and then he made a vague circular gesture over his sternum, like I would know what that meant. He clarified that he meant discomfort (but over his sternum, not in the heart area), and had a wee cough. And because this is 2020, I was like "Probably not a heart attack but maybe Covid???"

Yeah, so, his doctor had him get a chest x-ray, and he has a small pneumothorax (NOT a 100% collapsed lung...just a *partially* collapsed lung). And his doctor was like "If your pain is resolved and you aren't having difficulty breathing, you can work," so Tim, of course, is at work right now, because he's like that. It seems that with small pneumothoraxes, it's pretty common to just keep an eye on them and the air resorbs on its own. He does have to have a follow-up chest x-ray on Friday. And since this is just a small pneumorthorax, my reaction is basically kind of numb, or like a shrug, like, this might as well happen. Jesus.

I do, however, already have therapy scheduled for tomorrow morning, so it was a well-timed pneumothorax. JESUS CHRIST

Oh, I hope Tim's lung reinflates itself promptly!

Lung~ma for Tim. I'm sorry y'all have to go through this. Yay for therapy!

Oh, as usual, dear. Chill~ma, Steph. Properly-inflated-and-fully-functional-lung~ma to Tim.
