Election day can't come soon enough!

Happy Election Day, y'all. Here, have a video from You Tube. It's the wazzup vid, eight years later.




I am SO tired of the ads, pundits, robocalls, etc. Just let it be over.

Something that did make me smile - the Obama family together at the polls. It's sweet to see that they love each other. I saw Barak chatting with his oldest daughter while he voted and it was apparent that he was singing a piece of a song to her, even though I couldn't hear.

It's good to watch a family that actually loves each other. I usually view the opposite, or worse, the fake.

A good time was had by most. Except me.

TS Hanna hit us pretty hard. My sister and her Partner came to DC a day early, anticipating the weather issues.

Milk, bread and toilet paper - chant this until you are nauseated.

That's a DC thang.

Better physically, but full of dread

Today, I noticed that there were a lot of unhinged people around. Everywhere. If you live in a big city, you know what I mean. Perhaps I should say LOTS MORE than usual.

Oddly enough, I'm feeling better mentally, but not physically.

I am dreading the 50th anniversary thing, because we're anticipating a tropical storm to hit the same day. 75% of attendees are elderly. Older than 75, actually.

My sister is coming from the East Coast of FL. If she can get a flight.

We've got a few more storms in the pipe.

Dad does not understand why the RSVPs are so low. People just don't go to events anymore. I tried to explain this when he was planning things, but he can't comprehend that people have other things to do, and sometimes, they just don't wanna go.

Hell, I don't wanna go, but I hafta.

I hope he doesn't demand that I sing or sister dances ballet simultaneously with me.

That was so lame when we were little.

Signing off.

Feeling really depressed.

Hey kids.

I've felt really depressed lately. I've got a 50th anniversary coming up for my parents; a reminder that I'm getting old. I've recently had awful flashbacks from childhood, which I'll fill in later when I feel better. I've got severe arthritis in most of my joints, and it's so bad I don't feel like doing much of anything. I no longer have a social life and all I do is try to get to work and back. Not doing that very well, by the way. No vacations for the last five years. I've got menorrhagia, undiagnosed. Haven't been to my GYN in years because I don't want to know what else is in store for me.

I couldn't get my pool going this summer, even though I took the filter apart a gazillion times. Too much crap falling in. Too much pain. I'm throwing in the towel, ha-ha, as my oak tree has started dumping acorns and I can't keep up.

I'm broke, taking so much leave without pay I can barely pay the bills.

I just wanna freakin' die. But I've felt like that since the age of nine. That's another post, too.

On a more interesting side...

Hey - this looks like a cool game. What do you think? It should be going on sale soon. The designer is the the same genius who created The Sims.

More from me later.
