Today
This was never going to be an easy day, but if I don't find my car keys somewhere in the 4 acre dog park where I dropped them, it's going to be a royal pain in the ass. There's somehow getting to work, being horribly busy at work, then somehow getting home, then the expected lines at the voting places, then there's the fact that I bought beer and whiskey yesterday and it's locked in my trunk. As soon as there is enough light out (sunrise is at 6:22--I have to be at work at 7) I'm going over there to look. Last night Alexis and I looked in the dark. I've never needed a drink (or an Atavan) as badly in my life.
OBLIGATORY ELECTION DAY NAGGING:
If you can vote in the US election today, do it. I'm sure I'm the first to tell you this. Californians especially need to vote down question 8 (or prop 8 or the "we hate fags" amendment or whatever they're calling it) for the sake of the state's reputation as well as for the cause of civil rights, and to keep from encouraging other states to write discrimination into their constitutions.
I didn't think anything could push the anxiety of the election today and Maggie's operation tomorrow into the background, but losing my keys did the trick nicely. I've been anticipating this day with bitten nails for weeks, now I just want more time and light.
