Wow, that almost sucked.

This morning I climbed into my truck, turned the key in the ignition, and... nothing. I tried it again -- and still nothing. I called my aunt and she drove me to work. Fortunately I was only about fifteen minutes late and it was no big deal. By the time I got off work, a large percentage of my family has found out about my truck problem via Grandma. My aunt and uncle in Westlake, my other aunt (who's also our car insurance agent), and my uncle who came to our apartment to take a look at it. He said it was a problem with the battery and took me to buy a new one. Now the truck is running fine again. Big relief. A good example of my family's general nosiness and how it can be either incredibly helpful or incredibly annoying.

I'm worried about the election. I really think Obama will win, but I have this nagging doubt. What if he doesn't? When I imagine four more years of a Republican president, I get so scared I almost start shaking, especially when I think about how McCain would surely die in office and Palin would be sworn in. !!! Sometimes I wish I could just fast-forward to a month from now, when it is all over.

Mom is town. Sable moves in with us tomorrow. My older brother lent me his copy of Citizen Kane.
