Hooray, it’s the end…

of the mud slinging and name calling and downright mean political ads and I couldn’t be happier.  I voted a couple of weeks ago,  praying all the while that I was casting the right vote.  We should all know by tomorrow.  I will watch some of the returns tonight.  I will, however, not let it upset me, just pray that the person who ends up in the White House will work for the best interests of our great nation.  I am always so proud to say that I am an American and I love my country!

That said, I am up early this morning.  I have laundry going and an appointment for a hair cut later on this morning.  Just my ordinary routine.  There is nothing I like better than ordinary.  When it gets to be extra ordinary then my mind gets boggled and my stomach gets upset and I am a nervous wreck.

I just found out yesterday that my supplemental insurance is going up $64 a month in January.  I could switch because it is open season for federal employees right now but I am well pleased with my coverage so I guess I will stick with the tried and true hoping that they don’t throw a curve ball at me.  Oh well, if they do I will survive because I am a tough cookie . I am fortunate to be able to afford insurance!

I hope you have all voted.  If you haven’t get moving!

Stay safe and be happy!!

  1. I voted over a week ago and man, it took at least 45 minutes..closer to 50 to get out the door again. They also chose a horrible place to have the machines, only 4, where it was crowded and not able to handle all of the people lined up.

    I love ordinary days too, Twin.

  6. I think the plan to let those vote early was a good one..I hope a whole lot did. It may be tooo close to call early though..probably days before we know. At least all the calls are over and that other stuff and we can sort of get back to some normalcy. Hope your day goes smoothly..tell her not to cut too much off..it's a long winter..;-) XOXO

  9. I voted at 10:00 this morning and I GOT A STICKER!!! They gave me a sticker that says "I VOTED!" I was so excited, I called my daughter and told her and she's gonna' go vote just to get the sticker. lol Really, I'm proud of that sticker. I put it on my badge to wear to work. It's a privilege to vote...even if I don't understand the whole political scene of electoral college and "key states"....I want someone to know who I was rooting for. I had a neighbor with a sign in their yard that said, "Willie Nelson For President." No telling who would win if we all just got to pick our own person we thought should run.....

  12. I think I've mentioned that we voted during early voting season here in Tennessee.

    Routine is one thing that helps keep me on track. I trust your hoped-for routine has come through for you today.

  20. Routine sounds pretty good after the mad house of these elections! I'm with you, I'm glad it's over and I'll be praying for our leaders!

  21. I hope that whoever you voted for got to be President Carrie, though it makes no personal difference to me, I felt that Mr Obama seemed the more sincere of the two, and I'm glad to say that he was voted in again, I think he'll do his best. Keep well. X

  22. Insurance is such a pain. But I'm thankful for it, even though it's costly and mine has become exceedingly expensive ... I retired based on the promise of the State of Illinois to provide insurance to retirees with 20 years or more of service ... I was 57 when I retired and wouldn't have retired had I not been confident that I'd have the State of Illinois coverage until I was eligible for Medicare. Now the State has decided to try to balance its budget on the back of its retirees ... effective July 1, 2012 the legislature passed the bill requiring me to pay the premium for my insurance ... and the governor signed it into effect. Can't afford to do without insurance, but certainly wasn't planning on having to pay an arm and a leg for it for almost 4 years (I won't be 65 until February, 2016). Sorry ... I'll step down off my soapbox now.
