Well, I think it’s been sealed. My fate as a voter, that is. I was all prepared to vote for McCain because I REALLY do not like Obama. I mean, admittedly I was closer to him in my political beliefs than I was McCain, but I was just so annoyed with him and some of his choices, but McCain has sealed my fate as a person voting for Barack Obama.

How did he do this?

He chose a woman, which, as a former Hillary suporter, you would think would bring me to his side, but no, it didn’t. He did not choose the RIGHT woman. He chose a woman who isn’t even that woman like. Did he really think he would trick people by choosing a former beauty queen who doesn’t have much experience outside of a town of less than 6,000 people who is all the things that Hillary wasn’t? I don’t think so. McCain is supposed to be smarter than that, but he clearly is not. He is ignorant of the kind of people he is supposed to be attracting. Many of the Hillary supporters were not conservative, in fact, most were not. They were centrists and liberals. You don’t exactly get those voters by picking someone who is just like a person who is currently in office that those people cannot stand.

*sigh*

I went to church today, after two weeks of not going. I didn’t go 2 weeks ago because I literally fell asleep while getting ready. I didn’t go last week because I had gone to the YSA dance in Booneville the night before, and if you know anything about traveling with Fibromyalgia, then you know how difficult it is to ride in a car for like 3 hours each way. It was so difficult and I was so exhausted and in so much pain that I just about was in tears. I mean, I had fun and I would definitely do it again, but I just have to be more aware of how my body works next time.

I missed out on a YSA activity yesterday because of my Fibromyalgia. The activity was going canoeing. Now, admittedly, it wasn’t going to be a good idea for me to go in the first place since I cannot swim. It’s also not a good idea because I am deathly afraid of water, even shallow water. I mean, the only water I can stand is the kind in the shower or in a cup. I have taken swimming lessons before, but the only thing I ever learned how to do is blow bubbles and float. I don’t think that would have save me if anything had happened.

Oh, guess what? I’m getting bumped from my Sunday School class. Apparently, I don’t have to be in Gospel Principles anymore. I can now go to the YSA Sunday School class. Yay! I will be with people more my own age, but I’ll miss my old Sunday School class and teacher. It was so much fun.

I’m not going to Family Home Evening tomorrow night. I have no ride and I kind of need a week off, if that makes any sense. I thought about going to Sarah and Anthony’s new place this evening, but I don’t think I’ll do that either. I mean, I miss seeing them at Institute since they got married, but I don’t think I feel up to going out tonight.

I didn’t take my Klonopin before I went to church today. So, how did I do? Fine. I didn’t even realize that I hadn’t taken the pill until I got out. I felt relaxed and calm throughout the whole thing. Of course my mind kept shifting to various projects outside of church that needed to be done. Not exactly keeping with the whole keeping only the spirit in mind sort of thing, but I guess it’s okay to do my focus that way.

I wish I could go back on Adderall, but it’s contraindicated for people with the particular psychiatric problems that I have. Apparently, it can make mood swings and psychosis worse. It never did before, but you can never really say never with psychiatric problems. In fact, it is best to expect the unexpected.

I think I’m going to have a Family Home Evening thing at home tomorrow night. I don’t know how my dad will feel about that since FHE is basically a Mormon thing and he is so not a Mormon. I think he’ll be okay with it, since my idea is that we watch movies. Of course, I want to watch the movies I picked out, and he’ll want to watch the movie he picked out. Maybe I can get him to see things my way, though.

I’ve added lots of plugins and widgets to the site, if you haven’t already noticed. I wanted to make this place cool and fun to be at, and have neat little features. I wish that I could get some of the Facebook stuff to work a little better on here since I’m pretty much a Facebook addict.

I need to upload some more images for my new project of doing digital scrapbooking. I’m going to try to do it in Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, instead of Photoshop Elements. I know a lot of people who do it use Elements, but I just don’t really like it. Besides, I would have to buy the thing after like 28 more days in order to continue using it, and that would just suck. Especially considering that I have other things in mind for how to spend my money.

I wish I could figure out how to see where my Alloy package is. I keep checking UPS with the code that I was given, but it’s not working. It works fine with other companies, but it’s not working with Alloy.

Uh-oh. I better go take Xander out for his “constitutional”. Oh, yay! Mom is going to do that today. That’s good ’cause my feet hurt really bad. I guess I should walk Willow one day when she feels kind of crappy. She’d probably appreciate that.
