Happy things!

Another dismally dull day at work. Not only am I still working on the Greek Grammar from Hell that I inherited from an employee who quit/was fired/asked to leave, but Aetna had issues with sending me my medicine (which I ordered by mail this time). Apparently, I needed my doctor to call in and confirm the perscription since I was getting a 90-day supply of a non-preferred drug. That little requirement was in the fine print somewhere. Anyway, I didn't have my meds, which made it worse.

But after work was good. I finished my first sock at knitting circle - it fits well and is very comfy. I wore it on my foot and paraded around Rosie's for a while. Also, while biking home, I saw some fireflies, which always make me happy.

And last night I went to a Philadelphia Against Santorum meeting, partly because I don't like the man myself and partly out of curiosity. Somehow I volunteered to go door-to-door on my block to remind people to vote (against Santorum) in the upcoming Senatorial race. Fortunately I can team up with a more experienced volunteer on my first run, and I already know that I will not be well-recieved everywhere. I also know that the Republican party has been doing this kind of thing for years, and it works, so there must be something to it. I may possibly make a difference, or at the very least bring home some amusing anecdotes.

Philadelphia is overwhelmingly democratic, so we aren't focusing on "converting" voters, just mobilizing registered Dems and also registering new people in the neighborhood. If we get enough people to the congressional election we can kick out Santorum, although Casey really isn't much better. At least he's not Bush's crony.
