17 Oct 2020: To and fro, and 16 days to go

/

Yesterday morning at the crack of dawn, I flew to Atlanta to meet up with Dad. We visited with my almost-94-year-old grandmother for a few hours and then got in Dad’s car which was hitched to a Uhaul and started the drive back up to Maryland.

We made it to Raleigh last night just after 8, and into Chevy Chase this afternoon around 2:30. Dad was hellbent on making it back in time to return the Uhaul and watch the Georgia-Alabama game, and I’m glad we will ultimately accomplish both. That said, I admit to being a bit tuckered out right now, y’all. And so sad I couldn’t march in DC this morning.

In any case, 16 days until the election! When you read this, it’ll be 15. I have finished my election judge training and will be working 11/3 from 6a-10:30p. My only dismay about that is that I have to leave my phone in my car so will have no idea how anything is going until I leave the polling center that night. I’ll do some more phone banking and vibe-sending but feel I’ve done my part. And I guess that’s all I can do, or could have done.

Hope y’all are well.
