Wiped out.

I don’t remember my wrists ever being this fatigued.
But I did find out I prefer working on people who have real knots, rather than people who just want to relax.
The relaxing people are good if you’re too tired to give much pressure.
What’s bad is when you’re so tired you almost fall asleep during the massage.

In other news, as of last night….

           ……*suspense*…………

                                  …no… sorry, girls, it’s not about a boy.

I’m a delegate to the county convention at the end of the month.

In the scheme of things, it’s not a huge deal.  There were only four or five of us from our precinct
even at the caucus last night.  We can send twelve delegates, and had but four to elect. 
But I’m enjoying the chance to be a part of my country’s government and see how things work
(it’s better than high school history). 
Up close, it’s a lot easier to see how the people really can be the government. 
The trick is to actually stand up, go to stuff (like a caucus) and get involved. 
No, it’s not easy.  Yes, it can be frustrating. 
But I have so much more appreciation for the people and the process.  It’s amazing to realize
that I, too, can participate in how my country is run.  It’s not just about voting when they say to vote. 
There is so much more.  Only, I’m not sure people realize it.  I’m so glad the election official asked
if we were coming to the caucus that night.  Otherwise, I wouldn’t have even known about it, it wouldn’t
have stuck in my head all day, and I wouldn’t have ended up in a small break room with other Republicans
from my area (I have to say, it’s encouraging to be in a room full of people who think the way I do),
going over resolutions, and earning a chance to get involved at one more level. 
County here we come!

  1. Sarah that is really awesome.  It’ll be neat to hear about the things you get to see and learn through that whole process.

  2. Yes, bravo. Glad you’re getting involved. I always knew you would be good in politics. If I believed in women running for office, I would suggest you do so.Thanks. I knew you would like it, but thanks for saying so just the same. I can always count on you as a fan of my writing. : )
