gwynnegaToday has been much less stressful than yesterday, and I'm sitting here with a nice cup of Irish breakfast tea with milk and sugar. I just got back from Trader Joe's, where I bought lots of goodies, including their new pomegranate and blueberry cereal, turkey meatloaf, precooked rack of lamb, brie with mushrooms, heirloom tomatoes, Spanish white wine, mini cheeseburgers, cornbread, etc.
I had better luck today with my calls to Nevada for Obama than I did last week. I spoke to perhaps half of the people on my list. Four or five were Obama voters, and almost all of those had already voted, hooray! Only one person said she was voting for McCain. The one undecided voter I spoke to had just been laid off, so I talked about Obama's plan to give tax credits to businesses that create new jobs. I was berated by two people, though not for political reasons. One crankily said she works the swing shift and I woke her up (at 2 pm), though one would think she would turn the ringer off during the day. The other complained that she's received a lot of these calls (which may be true, but she's the only person I've called who's ever said so), and that if it keeps up, she may wellflounce off not vote! But for the most part people were nice enough.
Also today I've worked on the edits for my story for Shimmer's Clockwork Jungle Book issue. I hope to send 'em back to the editor no later than tomorrow. Also I want to work on chapter nine of the Jo book and read some more Half a Crown (and watch some Dark Shadows).
