today, like what i hope are millions of filipinos, i voted. (i know plenty of people who did not and were not able to vote.) after voting (aside from the long morning queue it was pretty uneventful) i scrambled home, got my things, and practically ran out of the house so i could catch a cab to work. my shift was starting in 20 minutes; luckily there wasn't much traffic to be stressed about ("it's like good friday," said the cab driver). i got in at five past nine, just within the cut-off period. yes i had work, and my holiday pay probably went to my cab fare, but it was somewhat nice in the office because only a handful of us were there. i'm home now, sharing election-related stories with my family and looking at old photos of our pets. later i'll read a couple of chapters of my latest kathy reichs acquisition, have a shower (or maybe have the shower first), then go to bed for a well-deserved rest to prepare myself for another quick run early tomorrow morning. i feel like there's something missing but i guess we all feel that way sometimes after a long and seemingly busy day. perhaps some dark chocolate will do me good, yes?
nice to meet mew!Hi, I'm Lauren, and this blog is the repository of my thoughts about erm, mundane things. As you can see, I have a thing for cats. I also like cheese. Archives
