the_rckI've got a nasty headache today. I'm pretty sure that the schedule change is to blame for it. Scott didn't get home from work until nearly 1 a.m. last night. I really, really want to sleep more, but we have things we need to do before he goes to work.
Mostly, we need to vote. Our absentee ballots haven't arrived. At this point, even if they arrive today with enough time for Scott to fill his out, we won't be able to use them because I'd have to get them downtown without help. That would be harder on me, physically, than just going to the polling place. If Scott was working the schedule we expected when we sent in the absentee ballot requests, he wouldn't be able to vote at all, and I'd probably be beggingevalerie for a ride to the polling place.
Scott checked with the city clerk's office yesterday. They mailed the ballots on Friday. We're allowed to vote in person rather than using the absentee ballot as long as we don't try to do it both ways. They're also quite concerned about the fact that the ballots haven't arrived. This is not an election for which they're expecting massive turnout, and they probably haven't gotten all that many absentee ballot requests. The only thing on the ballot is a school millage for building maintenance and repair. It's the sort of thing that might get 10% turnout but probably won't get 20%.
I did end up signing up for Yuletide. I've got my assignment. I need to track down canon for review and don't expect to be able to do that until the weekend, so I'm not going to think too hard about the assignment yet.
My current plan is that, after Scott leaves for work, I'll put on a library DVD and work on the Social Security paperwork I need to get done. I think it will be straightforward enough, just tedious.
I managed to do a load of laundry yesterday. It's not upstairs yet, but I haven't managed the downstairs part of laundry in the last 5-6 weeks, so this is an accomplishment. I might try making banana bread today.
