I knew I wanted to wear a hoodie and t-shirt. I didn't necessarily need to be waterproof but I did want the hood and a little protection from the breeze. I pulled a Texas t-shirt off the hanger, one of my new birthday presents from Mom and Dad that I picked out at Madeline's, and threw it on. I put on a pair of shoes and decided against them. I bought a pair of black Vans for Las Vegas when Lauren and John got married but I don't know, there's something about them that just doesn't feel right. I've just always felt like they look weird on me. Anyway, to go with my red Texas t-shirt,
I put on my red Converse.
I grabbed my purse and hoodie and headed out the door. When I got out of the car and started walking into the Courthouse Annex, I all of a sudden felt like the diehard fan at a football game who ends up on camera with the painted face. Don't get me wrong, I see nothing wrong with my red t-shirt and red shoes but with all the political drama and the #redwave, I felt like a rebel. I was hoping nobody there thought I was trying to make a statement because that definitely wasn't the case... not that there's anything wrong with that. It's not that I was scared that people would think I was voting red because maybe I was or maybe I wasn't, it's nobody's business, I just simply don't like drawing attention to myself. I try not to get too political on social media because I've seen normally nice people get really ugly and I don't need any of that. Anyway, as usual, my brain was probably making more out of the situation than it should have. I didn't make eye contact with the few people I saw on my way in or out so I didn't notice if I got any glares but I also didn't get any high fives like our team just scored the winning touchdown. Also, nobody poured their beer on me so I guess that's always a plus.
I made it back to the car and headed to the grocery store. By the time I got home, my head was THROBBING. It was horrible. This was a sinus headache. UGH. I worked on it and it finally mostly went away. It really messed up other things I wanted to get done yesterday but I managed to get over to vote and picked up a few things for dinner. The funny/awesome thing is Eric called to see what we were having for dinner and said they'd probably come by to eat. I changed the menu from a new chicken recipe using things I had to pick up at the store to take-out Chicken Express. My head really enjoyed that. Now I'm excited that yesterday's dinner will be today and I don't have to go to the store in the rain again. Oh, there's also one drumstick leftover so I know what's for lunch.
Let's get this headache-free morning started!
