Why are you happy today?

[Fraufruit]

I am happy becasue, after a rather late night shooting pool, I left my cue stick on a seat in a tram stop. I had to wait a bit and started fiddling with my phone, tram came and I got in. Three stops later I was like, "Fuck! Where's my stick??" I got off and almost ran all the way back to the initial stop and there it was lying nicely on the seat where I left it. I was over the moon happy.

Moral of story, do not drink alcohol free beer when going out for pool.

Just looked in the fridge and saw the two huge, fresh truffels waiting for me. A neighbour dug them out of her garden yesterday and gave them to me as a thanks for barbequeing yesterday. I may have mentioned this once of twice, but the Eifel is brilliant.
Will now boil up some pasta, and start grating.

Have been dealing with a lot of personal issues (aka getting my sh…. together) and helping Mr Metall deal with his health… feel happier now because at least I tried.

Kinda happy because I still know enough medicine to advise and help people.
Kinda sad because the lack of good old GPs is so bad people turn to me…

Now that you have mentioned Absentee Ballot, when are they supposed to be received?
Voting is in 5 weeks, still nothing in my mailbox.

That depends on where you’re registered. Another reason I’m is cuz I voted a week ago. I did it all, as usual, digitally. Early voting in my current home state (KS) begins October 15th, but the overseas ballots for KS voters go out much earlier. And I marked my ballot, scanned it, and sent the PDF back with a blurb saying I waive my right to an anonymous vote. So I am , as is hubby. Reduced my anxiety too.

I got a notice for my S.C. ballot per email with a code. Can't access it. Working on it.

I am voting in Nevada.
Last 2 times it was earlier than now, as much as I can remember.

Oh well,....

A swing state! Your vote matters mightily! My „helper syndrome“ kicked in and I googled this for you. You know how this works, in the sense that every state‘s got different rules, and they can change. I have voted in most every election in my county during the 5+ years I’ve been here, which also keeps me automatically registered. Are you registered if you haven’t participated for 4 years? IDK. In keeping with the spirit of the thread, I am happy that you are interested. I realize that your life is very busy. Good luck.

Thank you for checking!

I was voting since 2010 from outside of the USA, and my registration was saying "Until I am eligible'.
For sure will go through it.

Thanks again!

Happy, oh so happy, and relieved, cuz today I finally submitted my online application for my Niederlassungserlaubnis. I’m hoping that I left no stone unturned, but if I did I’m sure I can turn it over later. Feels like a gigantic step! Fingers crossed for a quick positive reply.
