Nervous
This time tomorrow I will know if I I'm leading our great Town into the future or supporting the new Mayor and Council. This election is whole lot different the the last two I went through. 2007 and 2010, I ran for Council, there where six seats available for Council. Which means I only needed to get more votes then the seventh candidate and I would have won a seat. This time, it's for all the marbles, having to resign from council to run for the Mayoral seat is scary. There is not a seat for second place, I have to finish first. As the time closes in many thoughts are running through my head, have I done enough during the campaign to win? Have I done enough during my 4 1/2 years on council to deserve to be the Mayor? Have I done enough for my community to get the support from the residents? Have I ..... ? This night will the similar to the whole week, little to nervous to sleep very much. It's hard the settle my brain down enough so I can sleep. I'm hoping to win tomorrow but if I don't, it's not the end of the world. I would be extremely disappointed but I have so many other wonderful gifts in my life.
I'm feeling pretty good physically and my eye seems to be better the last few days, not as red and the pain is not as frequent and I have gained all my weight back. I'm going to start tracking my numbers again. I haven't tracked anything since my surgery (my next appointment with the specialist is on May 15 and I don't know if I can wait that long), just doing enough to keep me from deteriating to much in my training. I'm going to need a lot of help getting everything up to par...anyone volunteers? I'm going to try to do 500 pushups and situps tomorrow (yes sifu Kichko, I'm going slow).
It's late enough, let's see if I can get a few hours of sleep tonight.

You have my support Sihing even though it's energetically as I can't vote in this election. Something about having to live IN Stony Plain...
