The kids and I had off yesterday since most schools serve as voting sites and were closed.

I had a bad night of sleep- I naturally woke up at 3am, tossed and turned, finally getting up and making some coffee.

Got back into bed, read a bit of my book, and fell asleep for – what it seemed like – a short while. In my dream I was at the house where I grew up in Russia, in my childhood bedroom, rolling out my yoga mat and stressing out that I am late for my yoga class. What the heck… Our subconscious mind is something…

I came downstairs the second time and found this guy, sound asleep on the couch?… I guess he came down during the night and fell asleep.

I started feeling achy and kind of “off” in the morning. Blamed a bad night sleep for that. The kids and I got ready and went to vote at around 7AM. Voted and went out for breakfast to a local diner.

Two lucky ducks – no school AND a nice breakfast

By the afternoon, I needed to lie down. I was feeling more achy, and developed an annoying cough. After lying down for a while, the kids and I went to the mall to return some jeans that were way too small on me. After the mall, Brazilian jiu jitsu and me feeling cold and counting the minutes until bedtime. I wore a mask at BJJ.

Dinner was leftovers. Showers were quick and hot, everyone scrubbed squeaky clean. Today, Wednesday is a full day of work, and then – Dutch County, PA! I am feeling better but wearing a mask at work. My voice is pretty much gone :[

    I did not know that schools gave kids the day off for election day; that is great! Any day when you can go to a diner with Mom is a good one! Hopefully you are feeling better today!

    Voting (in person) and then going out for breakfast sounds like a great ritual. We dropped off our ballots in advance, but I do like the in-person voting on election day.

    I am sorry you were feeling lousy though.
