It continually amazes me that I can find answers to so many questions so easily. I was having a small issue with my keynote presentation, so I wrote a query in regular English in the search bar of Chrome and the AI came up with the exact answer I needed. So cool!
It is so frustrating to me when I have a thought and I can’t get it down for whatever reason. Often I use Siri to help me remember something. This has been a godsend. Admittedly sometimes what I say doesn’t make a lot of sense when I see it in print – but it made sense at the time. Often I can figure out what the heck I was talking about. Other times, I actually take the time to write something down somewhere. And since many of my more pithy thoughts are around the campaign, I have documents where I can jot those thoughts down. Yay. I know I thought of something just recently that I didn’t get down because I was listening to a video on driver safety. I do hope that it comes back because it seemed pretty cool at the time.
Speaking of the driver safety class, one of the good things about taking the day off was that I got that GD course accomplished. It cost me $85 – $80 for the class and $5 for a convenience (WTF) charge. Grrr. And I will probably have a $120 fine to pay on top of that. At least that is my guess. Anyway, this class was a lot shorter and a lot better than the one I took for Seneca Falls. And it is behind me now. I have sent the certificate to the county court guy and will hopefully hear from them soon with what the next steps are. This whole process is interesting though not particularly fun.
I remembered the thought! It was: I think I will wear my Grinch outfit tomorrow anyway. Just to honor Halloween. I have a couple of engagements – one with JC and EC. And one with SM for dinner. I think they all will be ok with me showing up as the Grinch. I am not going to do make-up as I just don’t have the mental energy (or the make-up) for it. So the mask will have to do.
My sort of plan for tomorrow is to go to JC and EC and maybe be there an hour or two. Definitely out by noon. Then head to the library and pick up the library books waiting for me. I may or may not head to the campaign bank. And I might go to my other banks – just because I am dressed up. When my errands are done, I will return home and futz around until dinner with SM. We are going to go to the new sandwich place that now inhabits the space that Parker’s inhabited. Sounds like a good day’s plan to me.
Whoa! I got a response already from the county DA. It had an attachment that I need to sign and return to the Town Court House, so I will add that to my list of things to do tomorrow. How exciting is that? It ain’t over yet…Not till the fat lady (me) pays the fine…
Augustus for President: Could I be getting traction already? There were two contacts in my list on the website. One signed up for emails. Not really sure what that means, but ok. And the other is someone who wants to volunteer for the campaign. How weird is that? The second one is local, so I plan on asking him to meet at some point soon. Not really sure what to do with a volunteer just now, though. I guess if he is someone I connect with, I will ask him to wear a badge and give him an NFC card and start him out in the world sharing my existence. Maybe he can also organize something at HWS where I can do a meet and greet. Neither of the contacts have filled out any of the surveys, so I guess I will start there.
I sent them both emails.
Also, my niece has graciously agreed to help me with my outrageously long thoughts document. That is awesome too! She is a dependable, capable, smart person. So excited!
Maybe if I end up taking the trip in February by myself (not ideal) I am going to look into possibly buying and towing a trailer to save on housing costs. What do you think? I just saw a cool one for around $5k. That might be cheaper than 55 nights of hotels…well, at $100 a night that would be $5500 so…
