Post something good that happened today, Parts Two

[MLA]

I voted today. 

Me too.

Saturday is my day.  I know I'll vote because I'm a poll commissioner (6:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m).

What vote is this?

State (governor, lieutenant governor, department officials), local (parish president, councilmen, sheriff, etc.) and 4 state constitutional amendments.

The "something good" being that Jindal isn't on the ballot

What vote is this?

In my country, it's for a new Prime Minister. He was ousted last night (thankfully, after 10 long years) and the country sent a very strong message that they are done with the Conservative Party for now. The first set of results came from the east coast because their polls close first and the entire Atlantic, was read (Liberal). So anyone from any party who wasn't Liberal, every single one of them lost their seat. It was incredible to watch. That set the tone of the rest of the night. Although the further west you go, the more Conservative the country is until you get to British Columbia.

So now we have a new Prime Minister with an entirely new agenda. The last Prime Minister created a two tier citizenship which was awful. Basically if you weren't born here, you're second class. That's not what Canada has ever been about. Time to do some damage control.

Is Quebec still trying to leave?

Is Quebec still trying to leave?

Depends on who you ask. A lot of Francophones still want to but it isn't the majority. Back in '95 it was a close race between yes we want to leave, and no we don't want to leave. But "no" won out. There are parts of Quebec where English speaking people are clearly not welcomed and in some places immigrants as well. Quebec is a beautiful place, especially Quebec city (it's like traveling to old world Europe, one of my favourite places in the world and they're extremely welcoming there) but Quebec as a whole is always this weird quirky all on its own and nothing like Canada sort of place.

Got a pooter at the library to check my gmail!

Spent about half my day either working in the garden or clearing out things in the garage. (I plan to park my wife's Lincoln in the garage when it snows this winter)

I got a lot of garden clean up done. After three days in a row of sub-freezing temps at night, the garden looks like hell. All the greens are fine and I protected the hot peppers sufficiently, but trimming the shrubs and perennials to get things ready for winter can be a chore. Dividing the labor over several days is my way of continuing to to garden at my age.

Back To The Future marathon on TV.

I had energy! First time in what feels like weeks. Stupid fall viruses.

The oldest had an awesome time at group. A bunch of aspies and video games always equals a good night. He brought his SNES and games which ended up being a huge hit.

This I knew. What I didn't was what QV's vote was about.

Good sign!

Hope you get back to you real self, soon.

I am considering taking a flu shot.
It is a "free"  covered benefit for all employees, regardless of whether or not they are enrolled in the "Wellness"  benefit program.

I have done this twice before, once around the turn of this century and once just a month before I went into surgery to have my hip replacement done (trust me - one must be clearly desperate to do this).

The two times I took the vaccine, I did NOT get a cold or flu for the entire year.

It is tempting to take a third one. What do you think?

[Pyraxis]

I've always ignored the flu vaccine because I figured the flu's not that bad and it's one more troublesome thing to do on a list that's usually too long.

I should probably change my mind and do it now. Especially since there's such a high risk to WolFish from me catching things, and people seem to get sick worse and for longer here than they did down south. Plus I'm older. Not that old! But enough that I'm not shaking things off quite as fast.

You however. You're not living close to anyone with a vulnerable immune system (that I know of!) but it sounds like it would be beneficial for you yourself. So, sure, go for it.

I feel like crap again today, but it was a long exhausting day at work with way the fuck too much talking, and I probably just need rest.
