Day two, and I somehow didn’t have a prompt for today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today has really been a matter of recovering from yesterday’s ordeal, unfortunately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yesterday was an….ordeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Late Sunday night, my oldest friend, who’d promised to drive me in to the city to get this procedure done called out sick. Like coughing up blood sick. I don’t think it’s the dreaded COVID, but probably not a good idea to have him in the hospital, regardless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So mad scramble to figure out getting a ride to and from. My wife can’t drive in the District, so find something else…..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let me call my brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He drove me in and out. Not really a good way to express my gratitude for that. He’d actually never been to our place….which turns out to be about fifteen minutes away from his work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But get to the hospital at 0800, check in, do perp, they take me back, and I go night-night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Similar to the one a few years ago. Hopefully there’s nothing weird on the lab results, but I won’t know for about a week, probably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Home. Sleep off the anesthesia, light dinner, normal twice-weekly work fun, and football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today was waking up barely in time to sign-on for work on-time, working a full shift, then going to vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fingers crossed that the candidates against whom I voted lose<\/span><\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But I’m feeling sort of okay, and, thankfully, don’t have anywhere else to go until I get my teeth cleaned Saturday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But back to the election, kind of where I am with the whole process, now, is voting against the worst people. Considering Virginia has open primaries, I often get two opportunities to do that — once in the controlling party’s “open” primary, and again in the general election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the same time, I understand the appeal of just refusing to participate. I can’t remember at this point the last time I felt good about casting a vote for a candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We’ll see what the results are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Day two, and I somehow didn’t have a prompt for today.
