on my way to meet ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
datlowen yesterday, passing by the mcdonald's in the next block, i saw a skinny middle-aged chinese man who looked so much like FSIL's father that my first thought was "what on earth would he be doing here? -- nah, can't be him." and then i remembered, and of course it really can't have been him at all. (for those just joining us: FSIL's father died suddenly this march 24.) it was quite startling.
the wedding is in OMG fifteen days.
to which end, i really needed to get my dress altered. which was the purpose of the outing withdatlowen. i'd finally bought shoes on sunday, so i took them to where the dress has been living for the past couple of weeks, got into the whole ensemble, and determined that the dress doesn't need to be hemmed at all. outstanding! it does need taking in, though, so i'll pick it up next wednesday.
sunday i also bought completely unnecessary red shoes, which i adore. they are fabulous. it doesn't matter that i don't have anything specific that i know they go with. the dress will come later. (this is the second time in my life that i've bought red shoes with the confidence that a dress would come later -- and the first time, it did. [g] i've also bought the world's most fabulous red dress, with the confidence that the occasion would come later -- and it did!)
the following is not electioneering: when i move to england at the end of september, i will be transferring my permanent address from virginia back to my parents' address in ohio, because it'll make mail-forwarding just so much easier. the question is, how soon do i need to do this in order to be able to vote absentee from ohio rather than virginia in november? if i don't do it in time, see, i won't be able to vote absentee at all -- i won't be a resident of virginia, but i won't have registered to vote in ohio in time. this would be Very Bad. (aside from which -- and here's the non-electioneering -- my vote will be more valuable in ohio, which is normally somewhat up for grabs, than in virginia, which will go red no question.) but i doubt i can change my address to ohio before i've actually left virginia.
anyone have thoughts on this? ohio residents: any idea what is the registration deadline to vote in the general election in november?
thanks!
