Serves me right for boasting about how busy I am. Yesterday I got slammed with a very bad sore throat and fever. Luckily I got an appointment with the doctor today, so hopefully this can get sorted out. (I have had a sore throat off and on for about a month, which is kind of freaky now that part of my income is from singing.) I am hoping that the sore throat is something severe that I can take care of with antibiotics, b/c that will explain the past month and make me feel better.

I still have to vote. Ugh.

Also, I wish I had energy to work on all the things I can work on at home, instead of just lying in bed, and reading a few pages of Asimov when I am feeling particularly energetic.

One thing that happens to me when I get a fever (like last night) is that my brain will pick something to obsess about, and then think about it ALL NIGHT, which lasts a very long time b/c I'm tossing and turning and throwing the covers about. So of course, last night, I was obsessing about the Deval Patrick campaign. I sort of had it in my brain that when the election was over (which in my brain was happening last night) then my fever would break, so I kept telling myself to just hang on until everyone voted because once they did, the fever would break and I could get into a deep sleep. It made more sense then that it does trying to write it down.

But it means you should go vote b/c then my fever will break and I'll feel better!

Yes Ma'am.

Feel better!!

I voted.

Feel Better.

Just returned from voting. The woman pushing sample Democratic ballots was very snotty when I declined to accept one.

The fever thing sounds very familiar. I hope you feel better soon. You might not want to follow the election results too closely, in your weakened state...too much stress. :)

(I have a sneaking suspicion that the election has been weighing on me all month, and that tomorrow I'm going to feel like a great weight is lifted from my shoulders, one way or another. Not much I can do, living in Texas, to sway the really important races, but I'll be voting to replace Goodhair Perry at least.)

Hopefully you will indeed feel that a great weight is lifted, and not be crying into your Cheerios like I did two years ago.

Disappointment is a different sort of weight than anticipation. I hope I can get my work done tonight....

Speaking of which, I have now voted in Dallas, knowing that most of my votes will have gone to the loser. :) There were 91 races (66 contested) on the ballot, along with 12 propositions!
