The Arizona senate seat isn't too bad, it's just a two year term until it's up for grabs again.
We'd best get our shit together for 2020, no more games with recounts.
You have that backwards my friend:

The 2018 United States Senate election in Arizona took place on November 6, 2018, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the State of Arizona and replace Senator Jeff Flake, who did not run for re-election. It was held concurrently with other elections to the United States Senate, elections to the United States House of Representatives, and various state and local elections.
The McSally/Kyrsten Sinema race is the normally scheduled race (every 6 yrs) for the position/term that Jeff Flake held. Flake decided not to run for re-election. Barring any resignation, death or impeachment, Sinema will be in this position for at least the 6 years of this term.
John Kyl was appointed by the Arizona governor to the vacancy created by the death of John McCain:

In September 2018, Kyl was appointed by Governor Doug Ducey to serve in the Senate seat left vacant by the death of John McCain.[10][9] At a press conference accepting the appointment, Kyl announced that he may only serve until the end of the 115th United States Congress, which ends on January 3, 2019, but that he would definitely not run for the remainder of the term following the 2020 special election.

United States Senate special election in Arizona, 2020
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United States Senate special election in Arizona, 2020 will be held on November 3, 2020. Following the death of Republican U.S. Senator John McCain on August 25, 2018, Governor Doug Ducey was required to appoint a Republican[1] to fill the vacancy in McCain's Senate seat.[2] In September 2018, Ducey appointed former U.S. Senator Jon Kyl to fill McCain's seat until after the Special Election of November 2020. This will determine who serves the remainder of the term until January 2023. Kyl has announced that he does not intend to run to complete the term.[3]
