Remember to vote no on Issue 22, Steph.

Issue 22 is so much goddamn bullshit. It would be even if the buyer weren't Norfolk-Southern, but they just make it all so much worse. I'm definitely voting no.

So, legal abortions, legal weed, save our railroad.

I'll put off watching election results until later. It is annoying that there is such a built-in advantage for the Yes votes. We don't have any election here today at all. I've checked as recently as yesterday because it seemed odd, but no emails, no signs, nothing in the newspaper, so nothing until the primary.

Seems like there are a number of interesting races, and Ohio is right up there.

In more awesome news, going to see my loving SIL later and getting my finger and toe nails fixed after a long summer of neglect. They are in a sad state.

A solid platform. I'd vote for it.

I usually have a couple of people over for Thanksgiving dinner. There's a part of me that's not feeling it this year, but I don't want to let them down. I'm doing NaClYoHo again, so the apartment will be clean regardless. And I do like cooking and eating in good company, which they are. I suspect I'm going into hermit mode again, which isn't healthy over the long term, so I should just send out the invitations and commit.

My new job starts 11/27. BS continues at current job, but at least now I can at least focus on wrapping things up.

I'm making a conscious effort to connect and reconnect with people.

I'm glad to hear that, because I know connection is your lifeblood. And I don't mean passive connection, like "Oh, I know this person," but connection as a consciously chosen action has always seemed like such a foundational part of who you are.

Congrats, msbelle! Although, did you mean to say that the new job also has BS? If so I will mute my congrats a bit.

I'm glad you're making plans, Hec.

That does seem pretty solid. Good luck, Ohio (and everyone voting everywhere)

So, legal abortions, legal weed, save our railroad.

I'd approve that.

I'm meeting a friend for an early lunch, but I forgot to confirm the time in my calendar, because, despite all evidence to he contrary, I still trust my memory. I'm half an hour early.

Congrats, msbelle.

Virginia has its elections today - the entire state legislature is on the ballot. Seemingly, it's seen as a bellwether for the country at large. The campaign ads have been incessant and nasty. I've found that when there's an election, the safest thing to say the day after is that I'm glad it's over.

I'm using my extra time to set up the holiday/winter card exchange link. Kind of wish we could send live hugs to the huggers and live knowing nods of love and comfort to the less hug-inclined. But cards it is.
