I went to bed when Scott did last night. That was 9:00 which was late for him, given when he had to get up, but quite early for me. We turned out our lights before Cordelia did. I didn’t sleep as well as I’d have liked to because I was way too warm and didn’t figure out that that was the problem for quite a while.

I ended up poking at ideas for a fic. I’m trying to decide how far to change canon because the point at which I want to set it doesn’t entirely work. I want two particular characters to interact, but in canon, the second character arrives after several other people do, and the two characters are only in the same place for a few seconds. I have an idea for an interesting interaction between the first character and a third character, but the prompt was for a particular pairing. I suppose I could shift to a different point in time, but I really like the potential dynamics right then, so I don’t know.

We only got three political calls yesterday. I expected more, given the primary today, but we got one Sanders, one Clinton, and one Kasich, and none after about 7:00. I’m a little surprised not to have gotten many so far today (just one, Sanders). Polls have been open for hours now. I am going to wait for Scott to get home this afternoon and go vote then. He started his shift at 3:00 a.m., so they can’t keep him too much past 3:00 p.m.

Apparently, I can’t donate those protein drink supplement samples. Scott’s been drinking them, and there’s only one left. At least, they got used. Definitely a cash donation to the food bank is the way to go. I suspect that the folks who work there will have a much better idea of what’s useful and of how to make things stretch than I do.

I’m debating doing Camp NaNo in April or signing up for wipbigbang. I feel like I need to do something to get myself moving, but I worry about committing to something and getting sick again. I’m just not sure if I’ll write without making a commitment of some sort.

It’s so utterly beautiful outside right now that I really wish I could manage the walk to vote. It’s a perfect day for it, 64F and sunny. But I ended up so exhausted this morning that I had to lie down after being up for three hours even though I didn’t do anything. I kind of expected the phone to start ringing the moment I lay down, but it didn’t. I actually checked to make sure that the phone line was working.

I may actually ask for a non-partisan ballot so that I don’t have to think at all. I know my opinion on the millage, but I really don’t have an opinion on Clinton vs Sanders. I don’t think that the Republican primary is open to me because I’m a registered Democrat (Scott is registered as an independent, so he gets to choose). Otherwise, I might be tempted to vote in that, for anybody who isn’t Trump or Cruz. But the Republican candidates are, as a whole, appalling to me, so… I’m not sure I could stand to vote for any of them.
