I volunteered to help at the polls, but I haven’t heard back. I assume being a Democrat in my county means they didn’t need me. Read more

I have a dentist appointment. It will be the least painful thing about that day. Other than that I will be peeking through my fingers to see if our country is terminally moronic. 

My vote’s already been counted (that “vote accepted” email from the Colorado ballot tracker felt SO FUCKING GOOD). I’m moving the weekend before election day to start a new job, so I’m planning to distract myself by either a) texting voters with the Biden/Hickenlooper campaign or b) making my new apartment look fit… Read more

It’s a holiday for my workplace. If I get paid on Nov 1, will order alcoholic root beer and likely drink alcoholic root beer floats till I just don’t care anymore. I’m so nervous. I have made it very clear I am not talking to anyone the day after.  No matter what, I will have a lot of emotions and be exhausted.

eBay has a specific setup for non-profits that waives fees and stuff if the charity auctions items itself (there’s an option to have people auction stuff and then give you some of the profit, but that person will pay some fee, so you want the charity to do the direct “sale” so you get 100%, which sounds like what you… Read more

Ha! I need that pin!!

Yes! Played that at the last birthday I think. Beau likes lots and lots of games. Up this weekend: gloomhaven jaws of the lion, sheriff of Nottingham, maybe small world, and nothing personal. He likes red dragon inn a lot, and scythe, and just wayyyy more than I could name. Games are his “thing.” 

I woke up feeling a little grumpy but coffee is definitely helping. No idea what’s on my vagenda today but I’ll figure something out. :)

Coffee’s not my beverage of choice, but I am cozying up to a cup of tea this morning. Read more

Lol I guess the dog gets a castle!!!

What happens when you’re the only ones who’ve requested it?! LOL! :D

YOU. GUYS. Read more

I have definitely over-caffeinated already. Uh oh. Read more

That gif is tres relatable.

I’m doing pretty good this morning. I woke up pretty early so I’m going to make the most of it and go drop off my ballot, take Cosmo for a walk around city hall and do a bit of reading before a meeting at 9:30. Thursdays are by far my busiest day with meetings and client sessions, so I need to get in as much me time…

Good point! I’m not on Twitter so I don’t see a lot of his garbage. I really hope the debate commission steps in and doesn’t allow him to try to infect Biden again. I feel so terrible for White House staff (like, not political staff but the household staff, Secret Service, etc). His stupid fans and bootlickers are… Read more

I have been thinking that how this has played out is ok so far. If he had become gravely ill or died, that would create so much more chaos, with the added possibility of him being seen as a martyr/getting sympathy, and also the added possibility of Trump’s base plus whatever normal Republicans/right-leaning moderates… Read more

It certainly does. I was really hoping for the universe to throw us a bone with his diagnosis. At least one day without tweets would have been so nice.
