Election Day 2008

Tuesday, November 4, 2008

Breakfast: Stonyfield Strawberry Yogurt

Lunch: Two slices pizza (Brothers, Newton)

Well, enough of the constant polls. This is the actual Election Day. I am sitting in my driveway after having voted. According to the polls, my candidates are not going to do well tonight, but I have one vote and all I can do is exercise it and the rest of it, I cannot control.

It was a very surreal day today. Woke up 4:15 due to phone/clock making random beeping noises. Took dog for a walk in the misty morning (mist was everywhere) and temperatures rose into the low 60s today. Left work at around 10AM to take a walk in the woods and didn't get back to office until about 12:15. Left office around 2PM so I could vote and spent the past couple of hours checking email in the car and driving around listening to Christmas Carols and talk radio.

Now it is about 5:30PM and I'm sitting in the driveway outside the house. I'm going to take dog for a long walk, maybe read a book and listen to more Christmas music and tune out the election for a while. I have a funny feeling that the election will end up much closer than the pollsters have been saying but we'll see.

Dinner: Two stuffed chicken loafs, rice, peanuts

Walked 18,300 steps

Drinks: One hot coffee, one Propel, four JC minis, four glasses mead

Well my candidates mostly lost tonight but so it goes.
