It's Primary Day!
So the primary elections are today, and I am planning to go, assuming the Navy Base ever turns my husband loose so we can go vote. They are having drills today, after the twelve hour shift last night, and the meeting he thought was at 1 pm but wasn't until 3, so he got very little sleep yesterday and he is scheduled to work tonight too, and I hope the asshat who put them on 12 hour shifts gets pesticide resistant crotch lice.
So you don't have to register to a party to vote here. But you only get to vote in one group, not for both sides. And you can only vote in the runoff (if there is one) of the party who you voted for in the primary. Anyway, they do NOT make it easy to find your district online. So I still have no clue which state rep it is because there are 122 districts and ZERO maps online that I can find. Lame.
Starting the boys back to school work this week, now that I have finally gotten little bit onto a mostly daytime schedule. He slept until 2:30 am this morning. Hopefully we can make it later than that tonight. If I can just keep him up until about 6 pm, and me too.
The older boys keep trying to get me to go play Fallen London. They are both hooked. But I have enough time consuming games, with Diggy's Adventure, June's Journey, and my newest (yesterday) Lily's Garden. Plus I play Emoji Blitz, although that is starting to feel like slogging, and I'll let one of the boys play for me half the time.
I think I forgot to mention that we have kittens. From the same litter, a friend has a female cat who got out because their landlord left the door open. One of the people they were going to give a kitten to backed out at the last minute, so we got 2. They are both boys, black with greenish eyes. One has grey bits on his ears and some tiny white bits scattered in his fur, the other is all black except for a white patch on his belly at the hind end. We named them Loki and Hod. They are appalling little shits. OMG, they poop more in one day than Oliver did in a week, I swear. But I finally got them litter box trained. Or mostly. They still occasionally pee on the floor outside the box. And we have fleas, because PetCo no longer sells the flea pills for cats. Dammit. We are going to have to take them to the vet to get the pills now. They keep trying to hop in my lap when I am on the toilet. Very annoying. It's fun to watch them chase the red dot. They can be quite entertaining when they aren't being obnoxious poop monsters. I probably would not have agreed to take both of them if I had realized how much more food and poop two make. It is not a 1+1, it is exponential. Still working on teaching them that the cat tree is the only thing they are allowed to sharpen their claws on. And I have to keep after the boys to keep papers off the floor, b/c they think that means it's a good place to pee.
We got Descendants 3 in the mail yesterday (I had pre-ordered it) but I was exhausted and fell asleep around 4, so we haven't watched it yet. Should probably go do that now. And I need to find out who ate my PB Twix that was in the fridge. It was there last night, and I know it wasn't little bit. Seth claims he doesn't like Twix and I asked Jayson, and he said he didn't, and if he had he would have copped to it and promised to buy me another one. Which leaves Duo.
