I feel strangely old today. It started as I was sitting here, newly home from voting (I went early, because I have to work, and with all the hoopla about lines and such, I wasn't sure if I'd have to wait long. I didn't.). I'm sitting here, eating my fiber-enriched yogurt (yeah, I know! But it's tasty, too :D) and thinking 'my god, how curious - I feel like I'm an adult'.

Which is kinda new. I've only felt like an adult a few times, and most of them have been since my last birthday. Curse you, age 25, and your renewal of my feeling that I should aspire to more than a life of slackitude! But I . . . I dunno, I feel like I made good choices in voting (no on a referendum to deregulate our water and sewage - who are they kidding?! - as well as yes to Obama and a new governnor and a new schoolboard), and I came home, and there's cake, but I had yogurt, and I'm leaving for work in an hour, because I was responsible and made sure I voted before I had to rush through it. And I think I'm nesting, or something. I've been ogling real estate as I pass it, thinking about marriage and such. Which . . . whoa, there, partner. Jumping the gun a little, I think.

So, I dunno. Maybe I'll watch an episode of Buffy to try to recapture my youthful exuberence before work, lol
