Plans for today (2023)

Here, if we vote on the day, we go to the local high school, set up in some big assembly room, though I’ve never seen more than 10 people in there voting.

Previous years, we’ve voted at the fire station.

Ever since they allowed early voting here, which we almost always take advantage of, we’ve either had to go to the county courthouse, or to a little government substation to vote, in a room about half the size of my kitchen. It holds four little individual voting stands, and a small table to check in, and one vote scanner once you’re done filling out your paper ballot.

The school I went to is a decile 1 the lowest. Unfortunately the parents are lower earners. I will go just to see the school pool that was damaged in earthquake. I had a meeting with the principal and trustee head 5 years ago. I have a contact in a group that give out money..they wanted pool fenced and changing sheds. I helped fill the form in and got them $25k.
Didnt even get a thank you. Havnt helped since.

Planning on some food prep today, instead of my usual running around - that’s being pushed to tomorrow.

I’m going to make a nice little breakfast, something a little different from what I usually make, then I’m going to throw some sangria together for tomorrow, and lastly, a pepper challenge dish I’m really excited about…which means it’s going to blow up in my face and taste like 💩. :laugh:
 
I’ve gotten dinner into the slow cooker, done 3 loads of laundry, dragged the duvet out of the linen closet and onto the bed, worked out, and tidied up the kitchen (I wouldn’t exactly call it clean, but it’s better than it was).

Hopefully tomorrow I can do a bit of fall cleanup in the garden. Leaves are still on the trees so no raking yet, but I need to empty the clay pots and move them into the shed, pull out all the plants from the veg garden, etc. I’ll see if I can strongarm husband into helping me out in the morning so I have some free time to watch football in the afternoon.
 
Descale the Keurig ✅ (that took freakin' for ever btw)

Trim the tree suckers on the Flowering Pear out front ✅ (I wound up breaking my hand clipper on that dang thing, the little branches coming out of the base of the tree were WAY too thick because I had put it off far too long)

Colored my hair ✅

Go to the market to pick up "sale" items that I want (mainly WINE!!) ✅

Busy, busy, busy :heat: I need a glass (or three) of wine!

Tomorrow we're having linner (late lunch/early dinner) with our neighborhood friends

Not much to do in the garden right now. No Steelers game this week (bye week), but game one of the Astros Rangers ALCS starts tomorrow -- go Rangers! It's a big deal here, as it is an all Texas ALCS this year. Winner goes to the World Series. Oh, for the Yurripeans, I'm talking about baseball.

Today, I need to box up and mail out a package, put away the outdoor furniture for the year, and winterize the lawn mower.
 
The foundation repair guy was just here, and said my foundation is not sinking in that one corner, it has risen in another corner. There's nothing I can do about it, but hope for a wet winter to stabilize the clay soil under my house. It will fix itself. That's at least $5,000 saved. :dance:

I know that feeling, we had part of the garage door leaking, and when the construction guy first looked at it, he said it was likely termites and we were probably in for several thousand dollars of treatment and repair, depending on how far they’d gotten into the framing.

Once he was done, it turned out to just be a little bit of rot from the water getting in, and the whole thing wasn’t even a thousand.
