It took a while to get logged in, but I finally achieved Board.

I did not, however, achieve a vote. I moved and had to re-register since I'd gone from one ward to another. The registration did not, um, register. I kind of expected it, since when I first moved to DC it took something like six years of registering (and re-registering and re-re-registering) to finally be able to vote. It's frustrating but, since DC is solidly blue - and there's no Congressional representation in question - I guess it's not going to have much impact. But it's annoying to have even less of a franchise than usual. Can't even vote on whether to de-criminalize using magic mushrooms.

I voted. There was no line, but there never is here.

Hey, it's here! A new place where the old place used to be!

I've got work AND a doctor appt today, so it's a good thing I voted a week ago. I think I'm going to avoid most of the news, only turn it on hourly to check the latest returns, and order a big bucket of KFC.

Damn, that sounds really good. Must be getting close to lunchtime here.

As a city employee, I have the day off today. So my big decision was do I go and vote now, or do I eat Second Breakfast and then go and vote?

I decided that I needed extra energy for such a momentous vote.

Good call, Scola. One does not simply walk into Mordor without Second Breakfast.

I am super antsy and unable to focus. More than usual, even!

Wise planning, Tom.

I just ran some morning errands and am treating myself to a salted caramel mocha, yes, I am.

I'm going to try to work. Can't guarantee the outcome, though.

I have a lot of really boring documentation to slog through updating. It's just enough to make me stay (mostly) off of social media while not requiring any actual mental effort.

When I run out of that, I may just log off and play Ring Fit Adventure so I'm tired enough to sleep tonight.

I am heading home, making lunch, then diving in to home office cleaning/set-up while listening to mindless podcasts. I'm not sure what DP's plan is for after work, so we may be solo playing tonight except for dinner and sleepy-time. But as I just said (texted) to some friends, I can't figure out whether not engaging at all or checking in from time to time will be better. Argh.
