So.  I voted.  Actually I voted weeks ago via absentee ballot.  I’ve had too many years where some kind of issue kept me from the polls…  you know fevers, pipes busting and the like, and so now, my husband and I vote absentee in order to make sure our voice is heard.  We weren’t undecided on any issue, so we were able to take advantage of that.  That also means, we’ve been sitting on the sidelines, “Let’s get ON with it already!”  And so.  Unless this turns into an election MONTH, we’ll know tonight or tomorrow morning who has won.  For me – although I voted on everything in my ballot, I only care about the Presidential election and two props, so I’ll be keeping my eyes on those.

I start training my assistant replacement at work today.  I had some computer issues in getting her setup, so that’s been stalled, which is frustrating considering we put her paperwork in a month ago.  And she’ll be late, ’cause her orientation decided to do some of it today too!  Without letting us know!

And then I have to leave her alone in the trenches, as I have not one, but two kids’ conferences today.  Which means I’ll be driving all over town.  But this is the first year that I haven’t been called to the school for something thus far – except once when they thought maybe one of the kids was sick – and so I’m really really curious how they’re doing.  I think they’re doing great.  I mean Joseph’s been bringing math grades home of C’s – A’s.  Which means he’s doing it.  And Logan’s stuff is already legible, which means he’s getting it.  So, I think these conferences are going to be just fine and dandy.

And of course, in the backdrop of this day, I’ll be trying to catch snatches of the polls.

What a day.
