Today one really good thing happened to Patti and me. So good that it over rode a bunch of the other nonsense going on in my life (this dratted reaction to the shingles innoculation, having an aching / ailing right arm from wrist to shoulder and so on).
Patti and I up and voted in the upcoming November Election.
This was no mean feat. First we (me Cap) had to face a long (as in LONG) line (say maybe 500 feet). The successful navigation of the LONG line took one full hour. We took a chair that Patti sat upon at the actual entrance into the voting booth area and waited for me to eventually appear. I stood (and paid our dues) in the LONG line with the others. Everyone was in a good mood.
We had an earthquake (7.5 on the Richter Scale) today and the folks ahead of me in the LONG line were discussing it. When they quieted down I said : “Earthquake? Do you mean what happened to Aaron Rodgers and his Green Bay Packers in yesterday’s game against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?” The three of them (obviously understood and) let our a roar and howled in delight. We really bonded at that point. The man in front of me (tall, snow white hair) suggested I go sit with Patti and they’d let us come in when they got to the election booths. I politely declined his kind offer.
A friend spied Patti and visited with her for perhaps half an hour as I slowly approached the end of the LONG line.
And then we voted.
Oh, By The Way, yesterday we had our first snow of the 2020 – 2021 Winter.

The shingles reaction. Getting better since I began to use ice packs upon it. My right arm? Recovery is a process NOT an event. I’m feeling like it will be a long process. In a few hours I will have my second Physical Therapy appointment.
Still continuing to SMILE ..
