I just voted on my own edit... is that a thing?

Was just doing some voting and a title/description edit I submitted yesterday popped up for my review. I'm quite sure it was mine and not someone else's as I do have my own specific way of saying things.
I thought that we were never shown our own submissions. Has anyone else had this happen?

Its common to review your own edit submissions.
I get nearly all my edits for review; not images, just the text and titles.
I've made an edit, then changed my mind. If I got to vote on it, I'd vote against myself.
When editing a title, my first inclination is to keep it as close to the original as possible, so people who frequent it will know it's the same place. It seems smart at the time. But then I realize it's a stupid name all around, and submit something that just makes sense. In that case it really should go to me, like, which one did you mean really? (No, I don't think they'll ever be on our contribution page, so we'll never be able to edit or withraw.)
In my 13,000 reviews, I've never seen one of my own edits before. I guess, like everything else, results must vary widely by area. Thanks for the information!
