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.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

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.

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.

Freed up time is a good thing, Matt.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have to say that unsubscribing from politicians' emails actually works!

So glad to hear that, Laura! That took some doing.

Thrive to spite them
I went to the DMV -they have a new office-so it was new and they had good flow for most things except the way the initial line is set up. The way it's roped and signed people were standing so they blocked the door and the an employee kept having to tell everyone to wait on the other side of the line.
I didn't have a ton of time to kill before work (I worked in the afternoon covering the online pick up area) but I went to the recraft thrift store and looked around, There was one thing I had my eye on but I was waffling over spending the money for it But! someone else had bought it so I didn't have to worry. I did find a a couple of cool things.
And then I went to work and somehow it felt like I was there for hours and hours and time was just dragging BUT at the same time it was kind of busy and I felt I barely had a moment of peace.

That's great! You might not need a sailboat after all.
