Just to let you know, that although I try to get every blog post out at around 7 pm my time, it doesn’t always happen. And I am sure that when I start campaigning full time, posts will become more sporadic in terms of times being posted. I still hope and plan to blog every day. But when I am on the road for five hours plus a day, that may cause some scheduling problems for blog publishing. No worries, though, I don’t head off into the wilds of the country until February next year. So for now, it will only be a challenge when I actually am getting out and about socially. Like tomorrow night. The blog post will be written – but I don’t know when and I don’t know when it will be published. Thank you for your understanding!
Today was one of my weekend days – no dashing! Woo hoo! Instead, it was a bill paying day. First up, paying my school taxes. I am almost 65 and from something I read or heard or something, school taxes, at least in NYS, go way, way down once one reaches 65. At least that is what I am hoping. They are insane at this point. I gave them a check which won’t bounce. Though I wouldn’t be upset if it did. Education in this country, Geneva included, is less than optimal. Grrr.
Next stop was Living Center South to chat with EC and JC for a little bit. We have plans for the upcoming week and I wanted to get them on board. And EC had a library book that needed returning. And since I live within walking distance of the colleges’ library, I happily agreed to take it back for her. I like to do my errands in a non-overlappy sort of way. Is that weird?
From there, I headed to the public library (not the same library as mentioned above) to pick up a book I had forgotten I put on hold. I guess I will have to read that in a timely fashion. I think the other two library books I have out aren’t as popular, so they will probably auto renew. The speech book is taking a long time to read. Mostly because Door Dash has kept me on the move most of the time in the last two weeks. Which is, of course, a mixed blessing.
My last stop before heading home was a quick trip to the Dollar store. For reasons.
At home, I did some puttering, washing dishes and such. And I did some searching on the internet. And before I knew it, it was time to head to SM’s to help her out before dinner.
She needed to check in for her flight for tomorrow (the one I am taking her to in the morning). But it wasn’t working. Turns out there was a small mistype which was preventing us from getting to her record. A nice American Airlines support person fixed the problem and waited till we were successful in getting to her record. Five stars for them!
Neither of us had given thought to where we wanted to go for dinner. We ended up choosing to go to the German restaurant in Canandaigua. A bit of a drive, but neither of us was in a terrific hurry. Sadly, neither was the kitchen or our server. We got there and waited. And then waited some more for our server. And then more for her to bring our salads. Eventually we were fed. I, of course, brought back a lot of the food. Easily enough for dinner on Monday night! The potato pancakes weren’t as good as they have been in the past which was unfortunate, but overall the meal was tasty and the conversation flowed smoothly! Huzzuh!
Now I am home. Duolingo is done and soon this blog post will be too. I need to get up and out in a timely fashion tomorrow to get SM to her flight. And then it will be shopping for me. I haven’t heard back from either of my helpers, which is irksome. No common courtesy any more. Sigh.
Tomorrow, it is also concert time! And dinner. I plan to get to Turning Stone a bit early and scope out the places to eat. DM mentioned a place she thought sounded interesting, so I will definitely put that one at the top of my list. And then the concert. I hope I don’t sleep during it. If it were a dance or ballet concert, I would definitely nap for the first half hour. This concert, no idea.
Augustus for President: I have started to research bad policies or decisions that presidents made during my lifetime. Partly looking for things I would like to reverse. Like the bill that allowed insurance companies to enter health care. And the bill that got rid of the fairness doctrine in broadcasting. Both happened during Nixon I think. But I will keep looking. And I have also started researching each president’s finances before entering the white house and when leaving the white house. Lastly, I looked at more AV stuff…
