So then CJ and I get to our polling site this morning and I realize that I left it at home. Not such a problem for me because I spent all that time researching - but CJ was totally dependent on me to tell him how to vote. Last night and this morning I did talk to him about the candidates and why I made each choice - but he would never remember their names.
So we headed the whole 3 or 4 blocks home and we grabbed my sheets I had written up. There weren't really any lines at our polling site - so it wasn't really a big deal. We just felt silly... but we voted!!!
Voting freaks me out every time. I get so anxious that I didn't fill in my bubbles perfect enough or that I somehow accidentally voted for the wrong candidate. This time around for the general election I got to add the fact that filling in all those little bubbles made my poor little arthritic hand hurt. Now that I went and voted - I just want to go and sleep until the election is over. It is just too stressful to watch election coverage and go through all those ups and downs. I just want to know what the results are and whatever happens in between happens.
