Out of limbo and back home

It's been a difficult three days or so, but I am doing better and am hopefully on the mend.  I continue to appreciate the caring people in my life who are helping me get to appointments, making sure I'm eating enough and have the little things like baby wipes and waterless shampoo, and keeping me cheered with cards, e-mails, and phone calls.

I sent in my absentee ballot today, so I have voted. You have to sign several places and keep a flap attached to the inner envelope, really dot your i's and cross your t's, for it to count.

Really just wanted to say, yes I am in the world of the living and should be blogging more frequently. Hope your week is going well. Now I think I am going to rest for a bit. It's been a rough few days.

I got my absentee ballot application very quickly

and will send it back tomorrow. We have these locking mail boxes at our apartments (fortunately mine is on the other side of my living room wall), but when we want to send a piece of mail, we put a note saying 'outgoing' on our box and the postal carrier knows there's mail to go out inside. So, I'm glad for that.

I've had a hard time getting comfortable today. I wanted to take a nap earlier but couldn't fall asleep. I just ate a bit [roasted pine nut hummous and pita bread] and I think I'm going to try again.

I tried to watch TV earlier, but the only thing that was on that looked interesting was Thirteen Ghosts, and then I realised I'd already seen it, years ago with YKWIA, back when SyFy was SciFi. :) So I may watch a little Netflix later instead. It depends on how I feel.

It was kind of nice and sunny earlier, albeit windy, but now it's rainy and gloomy. It's cool, too. We're supposed to have a warm up next week, I think, and then autumn will really set in.

I had a double Filet-o-Fish meal at McDonald's today. That's four times I've had fast food (twice at McDonald's, twice at Taco Bell) in the last week, which is more than I eat fast food in probably three or four months at a time. I usually eat cafeteria food, but of course that's not happening now. Most of what I'm eating is pretty simple, usually cold or microwaved.

Brenda washed a few more dishes today and helped me with some things. I am very lucky to have good friends. We still haven't solved the laundry issue. I think another friend who has a washer and dryer in his house might do mine if I send it over with someone. That would be great.

Okay, I am definitely sleepy, and a little cold. I need to turn the air conditioner off, as the temperature is only 53 outside and will no doubt drop tonight. I don't normally run it in the autumn, but I was hot last night. I'll try to write later.

Well, that was incredibly easy

Just called my county clerk and requested an application for an absentee ballot. I wasn't sure there was enough turn around time, but she assured me there was. I just had to give my name or social security number, verify the information they had, and they're sending out the application today. I then have to mail the application back, they'll mail me the ballot, and I have to get it in by 6 pm Election Day, so mail it back a few days before. Yay!
