I hate being sick, part 2. Also, vote! or don't.
Hardly an appetizing photo, I know. But appetizing doesn't really matter to me since I haven't been able to taste anything since late Saturday.
My Jewish mother actually brought this chicken soup to me. Even though it's Healthy Choice, it still has nearly a gram of sodium per can. Is there something magic about salt that makes a cold feel better? Perhaps the rehydrated vegetable nano-particles have healing powers.
On a much more interesting topic, the reason my mom is in town is that my big sister is running for office here in San Francisco! So if you live in District 8 (which includes the Castro, Noe Valley, Glen Park, parts of the Mission), vote for her! Unless you're one of those conscientious non-voters, which, fine, be that way, but don't complain to me if the Castro Halloween party goes haywire again next year.
I am grateful that my polling place is across the street. It's probably the only time I'll be leaving the house today.

I'm so sorry you're sick! And I did vote, though I am not of District 8 (if I were I would OF COURSE VoteAlix!).
I voted this morning before class -- my first touch-screen voting experience. Why is it that we needed to get rid of the old big machines that had that very satisfying noise when you cranked the handle? It made going into the voting booth exciting. But, you know, I guess in NY we're just backwards.
Anyway, voting this morning made me feel ignorant. Who are these judges? What's their story?
Sorry you're still sick, and even sorrier to see that Healthy Choice soup. Are you going to post election results?
