Would have liked more NDP seats, but happy to see the back of Harper. Congrats to Ruth Ellen Brosseau (AKA "the NDP volunteer who won by accident last time and went to Vegas") for retaining her riding. If, years from now, she becomes Prime Minister or something, people will look back on this as the big turning point for her -- though really it's not so much one point in time, rather four years of having done her job well in her riding despite the unexpected and shaky start.
Narly's chronic kidney disease has officially entered Stage 2, but his appetite is good and he seems active and happy. Yesterday the vet showed us how to give him sub-Q fluids. Hoping we can keep him well for a couple more years at least; he's a sweet little guy, and Andrew takes loss very hard.
One more sleep until I take Andrew to the Memory clinic. I hope they're able to help him. Basically this year has been pretty hellish for both of us in different ways. At least with the election settled it's one worry off my mind, or at least not weighing as heavily.
Still no news from the guy who interviewed me two weeks ago, despite my emails. At this point I'm assuming I didn't get the job, but given that he promised to contact me with a yes or a no, I'm more bothered by the lack of news than by a firm denial. If I try out for a temp position with a two-hour commute and I have to supply my own equipment, the least they could do is tell me within a reasonable period whether I make the grade. Particularly since I bought Adobe CC as it was a requirement for the work, and the clock is ticking on being able to cancel it without penalty if they don't hire me.
