Today, I elect to make it a good day.
I have a confession that I’m truly ashamed of. I did not get out and early vote, and I can’t vote now because I’m in New York. I wanted to early vote, but I couldn’t get myself together enough to make it to the polls before work and then I either worked late every night last week or I had other stuff going on (therapy, etc). I’m really embarrassed and feel like a dufus. I’m not going to admit to anyone in real life that I didn’t vote this time. In fact, my taxi driver asked as he was driving me into Manhattan from the airport asked, “Did you vote already?” And I said yes. GAH! I mean, what could I say, right? I feel like a bad American.
Four years ago, last election, I was in New York too, but I was able to vote at home in the morning, board a plane a little later and be in NY by that evening. I went over to Rockefeller Plaza that night and enjoyed watching the results come in. I was interviewed by soooooo many TV crews from all over the world. It was festive and fun, even though Bush won again. I’d do that tonight too, but I’m afraid of being interviewed this time.
So there. Confession of the day.
Still, I elect to make it a good one somehow. What can I do to make up for this?
Something to think about on my run this morning…
