Voting outing, how did every one get on?
How did every one get on with the voting yesterday?
Since my hubby was one of the staff up there, he had the car and my son and I had to walk up to vote. Its only about as far in distance as I walk...
There was a massive line when we first went, so went back two hours later to find the line slightly shorter. As has happened every recent election, I run into various people I know through my kids' schooling years, many of whom work for the AEC each election. I knew the school mum poking the votes into the boxes, and at first she didn't quite recognise me because I probably look the sickest now that I ever have (no eyebrows/lashes). She did a double take when she saw my beanie (I have just about no hair still, being 6th of 12 Taxol after 4 AC chemos), and made an awkward comment along the lines of "Keeping your head warm Jane?". I could have told her, because she obviously thought I looked sick, but, hey, I was feeling mean, so I left her wondering. Plus, we have more to worry about on election day than whether Jane has cancer or not!!!!!
Hope you are going well Brenda, I'm still trying to work out what the "public eye" expects of me when I go out re makeup/fake boobs etc. Usually my laziness wins out!
