Election Day
Today was election day and they are not using electronic machines anymore, they are fazing them out due to budget cuts. Serves them right, in April the County fired 297 library pages, whic I was one. Then had a hiring day 3 weeks later and hired back 50% of the workforce at $9.78/hour with no increases and you had to work weekends. Before we got a 4.25/hr raise every six months for good behavior. Then in June I was fired from my circulation aide position. They cut the man power all over the library and it shows. Oops totally digressed there. So I did my civic duty and voted. Then mailed my application to teach for Fairfax County Adult Ed. Hoping to get a stained glass class there on Saturdays, we’ll see. They do not have any of the big tools so I would have to go out and get more. Then I went bank, the staff there is so friendly and cheery.
Came home and helped Patrick with a history project, I know yesterday I said nothing would keep me from working. After we dropped it off at school, no school because of elections, we went to Home Depot and got a leaf blower/ac and hot water heater blanket. The leaves out front were crazy and mowing them just would shred them and I would still have a brown lawn. I will only blow front and driveway, the rest can be mowed.
Trimmed the hedgehog’s nails and changed his bedding… do you hear procrastination? The nail job took forever and Meagan helped thank goodness. I will have to get a picture of Dil, all the ones we have a blurry because he is always mad. You see he lost an eye 4 years ago and has problems because of that, he runs in cicrles only in one direction. He is not mean just not a happy hedgehog like the ones we had when we lived in Florida. Tomorrow Nannok goes to the vet for some itch he has on this back by his tail. He has been licking it like crazy and driving me nuts. Nanook is our dog , in case you missed that in the past. He is a Border Collie, Chow, Husky, Peryesses mix. He looks and acts like a Border. Hope everything is ok ans he is just feeling Wesley’s pain from neutering, Wesley is our man cat, oops boy cat. Digressing again…
I did make a shopping list for Rings and Things for class. Brainstormed class projects. I try to keep a list of what each class dos so repeaters do not have to make repeat projects. I would hate that if I were the student.
Off the bed as it is early start for vet appointment on base at 8am.
