A Writer's Notebook, Two-Thousand-And-Fifty

Melissa is still working at early voting and I have been driving her each morning, which means that I need to get up early tomorrow.  I didn't intend to be up quite as late as this, given the circumstances.  She is supposed to be at the polling place by six.  Fortunately it is not a very long drive from our house, but I still try to be up and ready by around half past five, so even midnight feels a bit late.  To be honest, I probably don't sleep far more then four or five hours most nights, anyhow, but it is nice to have the opportunity to try for more than that.
