Day 26

This month went surprisingly fast! Hard to believe it's almost the election. Speaking of which, I've read a lot of commentary with terrifying and doomsday scenarios about what will happen depending on the outcome, and, while I hope it doesn't come to any of them, I hope I'm prepared enough. I've got a supply of my meds on hand, and there's no shortage of food in this house (though it's not all vegetarian).

Am I ready to haul into DC and join protests? The question on that is, am I brave enough?

I spent 5 hours on my contract work today, and I'll probably need another 4 tomorrow to finish the file I'm working on. Which they told me this morning they wanted today. Hahaha lolno, this is part time, my friends. It's also surprisingly mentally exhausting. So anyway, I asked them to tell me *when they assign the file* when they expect it to be done, because I didn't work over the weekend and generally don't plan to (at least not on this contract work). I haven't seen (that I can remember) that they have a general X-hour turnaround expectation, so ...

I also need to get myself moving faster in the morning so I actually *have* a morning to do work in.
