May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

And this year they moved our primary up to tomorrow and I FEEL YOU, ALL OF YOU WHO HATE THE ADS AND THE NASTINESS AND THE WHY WON'T IT JUST STOP ALREADY.

Hey, I was in Colorado the week before Super Tuesday, so I saw the same 2 Clinton and 2 Sanders ads nonstop, and THEN I came home to ads for our primary, which is tomorrow. So I got double-whammied just for being a good person.

I want her to win so bad it hurts.

Oh my god, me too. I'll suck it up if Sanders gets the nomination, but I will cry. A lot. In 2008, I voted for Clinton in the primary, but I was super on the fence and pretty happy with Obama getting the nomination. Not this time. Damn it, I want her in the Oval Office SO BAD.

My mother called tonight to ask me to vote tomorrow. She actually managed to be subtle about telling me who to vote for (Hillary.)

I want her and Bill smirking at each other from opposite sides of the Bible during the Oath of Office. And the Chief Justice dying of outrage.

flea, do you get to vote in a cool location? I feel like there have to be a bunch of nifty spots in your neighborhood that are polling places.

We vote at the groovy 1960s Unitarian Church.

I love that building! It was built so those long front windows would be aligned with the sunrise(?) on the 2 equinoxes (or solstices?). (Okay, I forgot what I learned about the building other than the windows line up with the sun twice a year. Which is probably true of most buildings.)

Sometimes I'm just ridiculous. I've been having sinus issues for probably 4 weeks now, and have had really noticeably bad symptoms since I got back from Colorado. And yet I just googled "can a sinus infection make you exhausted?".

Look, I just figure that it's just in my sinuses, that's not a large area, how bad can it REALLY make me feel? It's a localized infection, NBD, right?

Apparently Dr. Google thinks otherwise. Apparently a sinus infection can indeed make you feel exhausted.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Looks like I vote at the fire station. Not too interesting, I don't think. In PA, I voted at a church, which was kind of weird, because there would be all sorts of mission stuff on the walls where we waited on line.

What kind of ballots does Ohio have? PA had the paper ones that you feed into the scanner. Boring. When I was a kid, NJ had the voting booths with the levers. I liked those. My dad would take me to vote with him and pick me up and let me switch the levers.

(I am a little bit Robitussined-up, and possibly a bit stream-of-conscious.)

I did -- tomorrow at 10 a.m. Dr. Awesome will very likely poke fun at me for waiting so long to come in, and I will heckle him right back. It's therapeutic.

I'm also going to talk to him about going off the Lexapro, because, you guys, my memory is SHIT since I've been on it. And apparently that's a known side effect. So, it's been a year, and I'm willing to try tapering off it to see if my memory is less shitty. My memory been so bad, a lot of people have mentioned it to me.

It's not the world's best time to taper off the Lexapro, what with all the stressful stuff going on, but, you know, I have no way of knowing when it *won't* be a stressful time. Might as well do it now.
