sherryillkI'm registered in New York, because a pushy guy forced me to change my address to vote for the primaries... I was so thrown by him that I forgot that it didn't matter whether or not I was in Oregon to vote in the primaries or not. Oregon is one of the few states (if not the only state) to completely use mail in ballots. We don't have those voting machine thingies, but I've been informed by Holly, a fellow America Reads Tutor at UNHS that that's really how most of the states do things. So today will be my first chance to use them. Hopefully it'll be relatively simple enough...
I thought about skipping it, going after work, going before work... But I woke up today totally unwilling to get up even though my body was protesting sleeping any longer so by the time I did pull myself up off of bed, it was rather late. I wasn't feeling hungry at all so I forced myself to eat something since I have to go to work and all. So I made myself some eggs...
Gah, now I have to leave in a few minutes... Anyway, back to the original topic, voting day. I'm going to vote after work! Apparently the voting places are open to 9 PM so there's plenty of time to vote after work. I'm going to go and buy some Chinese groceries (only three, I'm limiting myself so I won't go out of control with spending money -- I just had a horrible dream where I wasted a ton of money on candy and it freaked me out a bit), come home and go and vote. Hopefully it'll go smoothly... I'm a bit apprehensive since it's my first time... God, I miss mail in ballots. Those are so much easier... I'm going to switch back to Oregon after this.
