Just to throw my two cents in about elective surgery - I had a hip replacement a year ago and ended up with a MRSA infection and 6 weeks in the hospital for IV antibiotics and diabetes management. Do be careful. My hip was pretty painful before surgery, so only sorta elective, and the MRSA treatment was not aggressively bad or painful, but 6 weeks in one room with crappy TV and nothing to do but feel sorry for myself is not something I recommend. And jeez louise, the post-surgery bills and paperwork.
None of it means a damn thing.

I was really surprised at how hard the Kansas amendment went down. I saw so many "vote yes" signs and I don't recall ever seeing a "vote no" sign.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'd like to think the postcards I sent made the difference.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am cynically wondering if the confusing wording and messaging confused the "wrong" voters.

I have checked off everything on the to do list I made yesterday for today except making a phone call. I am putting that off because (a) phone call and (b) the person who asked me to call him should be on a call with someone else right now so I feel pretty justified but I will have to do it at some point. Why can't we just email, my dude?

And phone call accomplished. I asked him to call me, that was somehow easier.

Clearly.

DH said the same thing this morning.
I have done many oneri today (my word for onerous tasks), but I've still got some bills to pay, so... I guess that's next.
Except I didn't eat lunch.
New plan. Food is next.

Our wings are not tired.
Yes always has the advantage on referendums as many people just check yes without even reading. And clearly the postcards made the difference!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Mr. S didn't get to sleep until 10 last night, and he just had a major meltdown so I'm not sure tonight's going to go any better.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I think it was more that old-school conservatives don't want the government in their personal business.
