Vote with hope, not with fear

[threeplusfire]

I walked to the polling place in my neighborhood this morning, a little more than a quarter mile down the road. I counted the Obama/Biden yard signs, which appear to be outnumbering the opponents by at least six to one. Things were smooth and orderly. I have two voting stickers - one in English and one in Spanish. It felt good to vote.

My mood alternates between elation and agonized waiting. I should go get my free coffee.

Today I need to eat all the crunchy things I won't get for weeks, try to write an LJ Idol entry, get my information for the surgery tomorrow, go to the post office, and probably do other things I have forgotten.

I'm alternating between hope and agonized waiting myself. :)

nothing crunchy? Did I miss something?

I'm having my tonsils taken out tomorrow, boo! They are too big, and they screw with my sleep breathing.

Aieee! Ice Cream!

Where is this free coffee of which you speak?

Ben & Jerry's scoop stores are doing free ice cream, too.

Starbucks and McDonalds are both giving away free coffee. I hear Amys is also giving away free ice cream.

It sounds like you and I are both about to be in the same boat, if for different reasons. Sunday when Truong and I went to the grocery store I stocked up on yogurt, pudding, ice cream and soups that didn't require chewing.

I am not thrilled about Thursday. Perhaps I will call you and commiserate, since we'll both be laid up on our sofas.

Good luck tomorrow!!

I would call, but my phone is being a little bitch.

I'll check on you after you've had some time to recover.
