countdown
I can't stop checking election polls! My Wonderful Roommate (WR) introduced me to this site and it's eating my brain. It's definitely more statistical analysis than I can handle but the wait is killing me! *deep breath*
Voting in this country weirds me out. I just can't get over not having to present ID (though people voting for the first time apparently do need ID now). When I went to vote this morning my name wasn't on the list even though I'd received a "Remember to vote" postcard with a map to my polling place just a few days ago. I was told I'd have to go home to get that card. It was only a couple of blocks away and the WR stayed to keep me company but my body went into full anxiety mode: accelerated heartbeat, nausea, adrenaline, wanting to cry/ hide/ disappear. I don't remember ever being aware of the physical process happening while I was conscious that there was nothing to worry about. It was a strange disembodied sensation. I imagine it's a first step towards controlling the anxiety.
In other news, my uterus is trying to strangle my spinal cord. I've discovered that ibuprofen liquid gel caps really do work faster. Fortunately, PMS makes me sleepy so I was able to almost sleep through the night twice after a week of watching the sun come up. \o/
Which reminds me, you know how sometimes your bladder will wake you up even from a deep sleep? Does your uterus ever do that to you too? Mine does all the time. No one I've asked knows what I'm talking about. Is it just me? I really want to know!
