Election jitters

I'm really starting to feel anxiety about the election.

Not necessarily in a bad way!  I think I've had my guard up, partly because I was terrified I wouldn't be able to vote.

The City of Newport News and I have been having some major issues about me getting my absentee ballot.  It was getting seriously down to the wire, and so because I was repressing my deep dark fears about "What if I don't get to vote in the most important election of my life?"I was also slightly emotionally removing myself from the election itself.

But today...FINALLY...at the last possible second...my absentee ballot arrived in the mail.

I promptly cast my vote for Barack as well as the other fine Democrats on the ballot for District 1 of Virginia and overnighted it like it was my job back to good ol' VA.

So now that I've cast my vote and done everything I can and it's out of my hands...

I'm a nervous wreck.

I believe we're going to win.  But I don't want to jinx it.  (I'm very irrationally paranoid that way)  I'm excited, I'm hopeful, and I'm a nervous wreck.

Also, hello!  I have been absolutely HORRIBLE about updating this thing.  However, ironically, the day I finally decide to update again, what do I realize?  It's November...aka NaBloPoMo!

I'm really tempted to set the goal of writing a post for every day of November.  I just think it would be hilarious considering I haven't updated in months.

Let's see if this goes anywhere!

Oh, and one last thing...a very happy birthday to my wonderful brother-in-law Joe and my dear Granddaddy, who would be 93 today.  Wow.
