Change of Plans and the Election

tinhuvielAunt Tudi is sick today, so I'm home with her and we're planning on selling our souls come Friday. I'll get paid Friday, which means we'll have a tad more money. I'm applying for more jobs. It never fucking ends.
I've decided to sell my bodhrán. I never play it anymore, and I haven't been part of the Celtic music community in about 10 years, so it's time to let go. I have no idea how much it may be worth, but I'll let it go for cheap, probably at the flea market this coming weekend. I'm probably selling the little TV/DVD player the Father Unit gave me. I don't need it, really, and I've been holding on to it because it was one of the last things the Father Unit gave me before he passed away. But I don't think he'd want me to have the TV, but be homeless, so there you go. I hate making decisions like this. And I hate letting go of things. I've got a pack rat nature. It goes against every cell in my body to relinquish stuff, even when I don't need it.
Election madness has taken over the nation. It looks like McCain has gotten a lead on Obama in North Carolina. I'm so ashamed. For a while there, I really thought that my home state was going to go the way of sanity for the first time in ages. But no. Now, if Asheville decided the vote in NC, I have no doubt that Barack Obama would win by a landslide, because Asheville is cool like that, being full of Hippies and Liberals of all stripes. But Asheville is but a speck in the vast conservative wasteland that is the American Southeast. It's bloody depressing.
Aunt Tudi and I voted week before last, so we don't have to fight the crowds today.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
green_goblin7t voted this morning and wrote me in for the office of water commissioner. It kinda gave me the sniffles. ::dabs eye::
It's heartening to see so many bloggers posting that they've voted. It's also heartening to see that we're actually having the election. I honestly didn't think we'd be allowed, so I'm very glad I was wrong. I write this very guardedly, but maybe there is hope.
