I lied to you... [View all]

when I said I was going to vote (in VA redistricting election) the following day. The next day, I could barely get out bed (chr. fatigue syndrome) Yesterday, I was up all day and walking pretty good.
Today, an Angel appeared, helped me make myself presentable to the public; another Angel came, drove me to the poll; and now there is at least one blue vote in this sea of red where I live.
After voting, we went to the court house and I picked up an application for a name change!
It was close to 90 degrees outside; I have eaten ice-chips that were warmer than my feet, hands, neck and nose. Promised my Angel that while I am already cold that I will keep breathing until I get this done. If I quit breathing before I get everything changed, it will be her problem, not mine! Hee-hee!
