Today's the Day

Voted.

(I love New York’s archaic voting machines; I hope they never replace them with something modern and electronic. There’s something about physically pulling that long lever and actually flipping little black switches by your candidates’ names. And then you get to pull the lever again, and it makes this great, final, solid, thumping sound. I love that sound.)

Now all that’s left is the waiting. Followed by the either the glee/running around in excited circles/joyful shrieking/(now what?) or the (please, no) horror/rage/disbelief/despair/(fleeing? rioting?).

So if you have lucky underwear, socks, or hats, today’s the day. I’m trying for zen at this point, but yeah, right.

Since I can't vote, I'm making myself go for a run after work to try to alleviate my anxiety. At least until I can pour myself a bottle glass of wine.

La, la, la, not thinking about it. La, la, la, working. La, la, la, not checking the news sites incessantly even though none of the polls have closed yet.

I'm now chasing the wine with a Zantac 150.

Did you hear -- Tim Robbins turned up at his polling place and his name wasn't on the roster?
