1) I don't recommend M&Ms for breakfast, but 2) I was sure glad to find some in the top right drawer of my desk at work this morning. Apparently, I forgot to eat breakfast. This may have been because I accidentally washed my hair and had to dry it before going out into
the resumed bitter cold. (Italics to emphasize bitterness.)
I needed to leave early for work to have time to take about 100 letters to the post office so they would arrive 1) before the March 20 primary election (plenty of time for that!) and 2) before a local candidate forum on February 6 (less time for that). I think I made it, even though our letters now go to another town before returning to our own. I am on this particular ballot, as Precinct Committeeman,* and we have candidates to choose to run for Governor, Attorney General, and state and county offices.
In the wee hours, before I accidentally washed my hair, and when I could have been eating breakfast, I was instead finishing up an enthralling book,
The First Bad Man, by Miranda July. I had read one of her short stories recently and liked her movie
Me and You and Everyone We Know (our family's kind of quirky comedy), so it was time to read her novel.
*"man" is part of the official name of the office, but we like to think of ourselves as
people

I wish I lived in your precinct so I could vote for you!
How does one "accidentally wash" one's hair?
Bethany, I forgot to pull it back in a hair tie. Once it was wet, I went ahead and washed it. Sigh.... In winter, I try not to wash too often, due to the dryness and static electricity! In summer, I have to wash the chlorine out every day!
