* Wednesday a week ago, I did extended errands with Head and Techie Millennial. One of the many, many things I appreciate about Head Millennial as a companion besides obvious things like high quality of conversation, is things like the following.

So we had to change plans at the last minute to pick up Techie Millennial at their place instead of the downtown bus station, which meant we were doing our downtown errands first, then going North to pick up techie for errands up that way. Techie's errand was time dependent and normally we would have been able to do our stuff in half an hour or so and even with the bit of commute, we'd be fine. It was one of those days though, where everything took two to three times as long as it ought to for reasons out of our control. Short errands that should be five minutes stretched and stretched. I ended up having to do a lot of extra standing. There was no close parking at forage, which burned time and spoons for me with the extra hobbling. (Luckily there was medium parking.) all this meant we hit rush hour on the highway going north. Sigh. Luckily the place Techie needed to go was open til 5:30, and we picked them up just before 5. It was fine.

So we get to the Ethical Grocery aka the good general grocery store. (Employee owned, excellent for workers, fair prices, Good selection.) I was fine, mostly, pain wise. My legs were okay, but I was tiring, since I blew my energy on things like standing in line and medium distance parking. I could shop free. Me to head Millennial: I'm trying to decide if I should use the electric cart. Head Millennial, a person who knows my level of stubborn and stoic: If you are even thinking about it, you need one. Me: sigh.

They were right, of course. I had very little left by the time we got home, and miles to go before I slept.

We had a great time after they finished working, eating frozen pizza and watching what We Do in the Shadows.

...and this is why election things didn't post Wednesday. I was exhausted. I had other online things I needed to do. There wasn't enough left for links to go up, only yet more link prep on breaking news. Thursday, I was so exhausted I kept falling back asleep and didn't make it online until well after midnight. Election results keep rolling out.

I am sorry.

* Monday: So what’s happening here is I’m trying very hard to get as many of last week’s results up as possible. Obviously, I don’t know local papers in every state, nor am I granular on state and local politics outside of the states I follow most closely.

The slowness on posting this stuff, is because I’ve been having the kind of week where my body keeps vetoing things and imposing naps.

I’m going to have to sleep sometime, so I don’t expect to finish or have the aggregate up today, judging from the volume I still need to plow through.

Again, one disabled person in fragile health doing this as a hobby. hard physical limits are hard physical limits.

* We stepped outside to take Head Millennial home Monday evening, and the air smelled weird and wrong. I was breathing like a fish out of water by the time we got to the car. The sky was the wrong colour. It didn't smell like Wildfire though it was definitely Fire.

We turned a corner and a pillar of smoke came into view. It was massive, but it didn't move ore spread noticeably at the base the whole time we could see it. My guess was something at the port, either a large ship or a building. We were close enough to see it was likely too close to the water to be any of the non-port things. It was still closer to Head Millennial's place than i like.

Nothing was on the print news, but the local paper is a rag with a strong bias and they make up quotes, so.... IDK. maybe we'll find out tomorrow.

It was disturbing, a pillar that big and high against a bright orange sunset with the darkening sky above an eerie greenish blue.

I am, at this point, pasted together with caffeine. I only had a couple of hours sleep and the pain is impressive. I will do what I can before the crash comes.
