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.

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.
