I'm worn out tonight. But I DID get more than 6,000 steps (I don't have my phone here, so I can't check the exact amount) today. I'm glad about that! (Walking around Costco with Sue, walking around Freddies later and pacing around the house while on the phone -- then walking again at Costco with Marilyn ( Read more... )

If you're not someone who wants to read about (or even think about) American politics, please feel free to skip reading. I just can't help going there tonight...I'm pretty shell-shocked right now. I am one of those people who is stunned that President-elect Trump could be elected to office. And Marilyn, sister Sue and I are all very disappointed ( Read more... )

I was UTTERLY SHOCKED to discover that my blog entry for last night didn't post! But further investigation proved that it DID post -- but dated October 1, NOT October 31. Hahaha. That's what happens when you're constantly posting a day late (into the early morning hours of the following day). Seeing as we had a MONTH change, I messed it up somehow ( Read more... )

Since WHEN can we not use a #2 pencil to mark our ballots?

I went online to try and find an answer, but kept seeing: You may use pen ( Read more... )

Yes, I voted for Obama. Normally I'm not very political online, but I thought I would mention how happy I was to see our President re-elected. Last night was amazing ( Read more... )

Marilyn and I got our ballots in yesterday. So we did our thing.

It's important to VOTE.

On the other hand, I'm SICK of the campaigning (like everyone else) -- and can't wait to be DONE with it. It's been awful, frankly.
