Day 19

I did not vote today. I feel so ashamed! But I've been so busy I didn't have time to learn about our candidates. Apparently 4 PA Supreme Court justices were up for reappointment, and some local council folks were running. I'm embarrassed to have not done my civic duty. 

On the plus side I did buy 2 friends baby gifts and didn't even think of the fact that I don't have but really want a baby the whole time! Until I got home and took the tags off the books and wondered what book shelf I would use in the hypothetical baby room.  And when I folded the little outfits I thought about folding loads of miniature laundry. 

I should be more invested in my local government because first of all I live here, and it's important to weigh in for democracy to work effectively, and because I may one day have a kid in small clothing trying to learn to read in one of our currently notoriously failing schools.
