A day of much politics

So I got up and around and took Oli to the local Reproductive Health Clinic.
We spent four hours getting her an IUD.

The pill is expensive and awkward and she's so tired of it. So we looked into longer term birth control. The implant is only good for three years. Her IUD is good for 3, but should soon be approved for 7. She didn't want the 10 year IUD.

It was uncomfortable for her, and she held my hand clear through.

At least now, we're covered in case of a TrumPencestance. They can't cut off her birth control access.

I took her home, went and did a couple things and then voted. I've never seen so many people there to vote. It took nearly an hour. I'm used to walking in, voting, and walking out. The clerk said almost 10,000 people have voted since Monday. There are only 35,000 in our county.

My conscience is clear, and my duty is done.

And then i started working. And oh crap, I so did not pay attention to my time schedule. Today was the last day for Action Link and I haven't done my South Loop. (that's where I make my money) My gas money has been very restricted and my other job has expanded to almost 30 hrs a week.
I may be in trouble. I'll drop Luis a note tomorrow.

Tonight TV and crochet.
