Five primaries tomorrow.

None are in my state, so I have no role in them. What I'll be doing is what I do every day. I'll be writing content for a business website and checking DU when I'm burned out by writing about ductless heat pumps.

I'll make dinner for my wife and I, and turn in about 8 PM. I'll probably lie awake a while worrying about paying the property tax bill next month and then sleep until 6 AM on Wednesday, when I'll check the election results and then repeat the day before.

Mundane, isn't it?

But, I'll continue to be optimistic that we'll be able to prevent a Republican from becoming President, thus giving total control of federal government to the Republicans. I'm hoping people have enough sense to keep that from happening.I'm hoping people will understand what that would mean.

That's what I'll be doing. How about you?

Still, it's not a riveting thing to write about. I'm good at that sort of writing, though, so it's a living. Wish I could afford one, though. I'll have to stay with my window AC for now.

primary series will start to draw a line under the reality of the situation. If it's decisive, so much the better.

Mind you, I can do technical writing, but I'd prefer to have a root canal with no anesthesia. I was convinced one day that if I had to write another article on how to clean a piece of equipment that I would seek out said piece of equipment and burn it with fire.

I write for all kinds of businesses, so the subjects change all the time. Right now it's HVAC, but I'll be doing a clinical psychologist' s website next. It's always something new. That keeps it interesting.

I will be working the evening shift, but checking in here and watching the news tickers.

I've already voted and will be encouraging others to vote for Bernie, but will also support anyone who votes dem.

I'll be celebrating the dem vote and turnout in hopes that we, as a party, win when the time comes (regardless of our final nominee).
