I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

Oh, man, that's pretty believable

Hey, Cass. It's been a rough couple of years, but I do manage to look in here pretty frequently. Not a lot of energy for posting, but it's very soothing to have a bunch of long-beloved friends inside my phone.

I'm glad you're home, Daniel.

Yay check, askye!

We don't have final numbers of voter turnout for my county, but 29% went to early voting. I know at least one person who voted on Tuesday, so that number's bound to go up.

Voter turnout for my county was 49%. Interestingly one state rep I voted for only lost by 15 points which is really good since every other dem lost by at least 30 points. I wonder if her opponent is especially unpopular or she has more appeal than other dems.

My county has gone up to 34%, so it might keep going up, I don't know.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I don't know what the actual turnout figures were, but a week before the election early voting had gone up 22% from the 2018 midterms in my county.

In other news, a project that really had me worried has fallen through, so Yahoo! We also lost out on one that I thought was a sure thing and would likely have run extremely smoothly, which I'm not so jubilant about, but the silver lining is that between the two I'm now freed up to personally run Production on some books that I feel very proprietary about and would have hated to turn over to someone else.

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

Timelies all!

I have tomorrow off, but Gary has work and Mr. S has school. I have an appointment at the dealer for my car to take care of some things mentioned at the last maintenance visit that I hadn't had time for.

Our wings are not tired.

Freed up time is a good thing, Matt.

Just got back from the dog park. Loving my new home and environment. A lot.
