Lung~ma for Tim. Yikes! (Have to say I would totally bail on work)
Casserole update. It was yummy.

Yeah, I don't love that he decided to stay at work.

For anyone who has not voted and might have some down ballot questions - someone at Red2Blue worked on this (you have to give an email)

I wonder if the lung situation might improve if Tim is up and moving around, rather than sitting or lying, so it might not be the worst thing he could be doing... Here's hoping that's how it works, anyway.

Thrive to spite them
I realized I haven't paid a lot of attention to the down ballot races but I know I'll vote straight Democrat.. there are some people running unopposed.
The county sheriff's race I think is interesting. The challenger has been very vocal about his experience, education, and training and talkign about the shortcomings and how he would change them. The current sheriff has some ideas but not the kind of fleshed out plans that the challenger has. The current sherriff is a republican so I wouldn't vote for him anyway but I at least like what I've read about the guy Ill be voting for

100% I absolutely would bail on work if I had a partially collapsed lung. JESUS CHRIST indeed, Steph.
I don't think any state starts counting votes before election day.
When you can process and count mail-in/absentee ballots varies wildly by state. There are some states that do count early.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh jeez, Tim! Lung-ma! (Not lunch, which is what I typed the first time.) (Or also lunch, why not?)

What is even happening?
I would have bailed on work if they had to check me to see if I had a partially collapsed lung, never mind if I had one.
Teppy, I hope he's feeling better soon, and you too.
I feel like today should be Friday. Can we get on that?
My husband and I were saying the same thing this morning. It feels like Friday. I don't even know why.
I found out that something like 22% of eligible voters in Somerville have already voted, either by 'early' or mail-in. ::waves tiny pompoms::
Woo hoo!

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Argh, Steph! Yes, therapy, good.
I keep checking the ballot return statistics page and a quarter of registered voters in Washington have returned their ballots. Kitsap County is up to a third. Some of the smaller counties have hit 50%. A handful of boxes in Seattle have had to be emptied twice in one day because they've been full - each drop box holds 5000 ballots.
