I voted.

I have never seen such a long line at my lame lil' polling place. I got up at 5:15 this morning to get ready, make lunch and walk the dogs, one of which is rather sick. I got to the polling place by 7:25, and I was outta there by 7:50. I'm not sure why it even took that long, considering I was literally the last person in line when I heard a guy say "If you're in precinct 6, there's no waiting." Well, glory be! I'm a precinct sixer! So I went from being last in line to being the first! Sweet! Then, of course, there was the obligatory confusion about my name, a jammed ballot box, and a lil' old lady blocking my exit after I was finished, but I got my ballot and had my say.

I think the universe definitely owed me a bit of luck, though, considering I spent a solid hour and fifteen minutes yesterday cleaning up the scattered fecal matter of a sick fifty pound dog. Of course on the one day Jack doesn't manage to break free of his crate, he ends up soiling it. Awesome! Whatever you're imagining, believe me. It was infinity times worse.
