Hump Day! I finally found my polling place yester…

Hump Day!

I finally found my polling place yesterday at 5:30 pm. It was yet another smelly nursing home approximately 2 blocks from the first smelly nursing home that I went to in the morning.

The new –or should I say correct — polling place wasn’t a pillar of efficiency. The election judges moved at the pace of molasses rolling up a hill. As it turned out it was a good thing that I wasn’t able to vote in the morning. Apparently they didn’t have any pens.

Speaking of which, I can’t remember the last election where I actually had to put physical check marks in a box. No wonder they’re having trouble counting the votes today.

Eye infection et al

I had a follow up visit with the optometrist after using my prescription ($53) eyedrops for about 4 days. She recommended that I stay out of my contact lenses through the week, so I’m still wearing the glasses.

I must say that wearing glasses has been a very different experience. I’ve been getting hit on WAY more with the glasses than without, which surprises me, because I always feel very homely in my glasses. Maybe guys are digging the look, or maybe they think I look like a closet-freak librarian or something. I don’t get it.
