was out and about like normal people on Wednesday…
walked to the community club to vote, then to the IDA drugstore and back home…
after lunch drove to Staples, Home Depot, and Chapters…
wore my mask whenever I was inside and felt pretty good about the whole business, lol…
gave my hands a good washing each time I arrived home…

after considering all the options I applied online to safely vote by mail…
thanks to an email from the David Suzuki Foundation I was able to get to the correct spot without difficulty and submit the application fairly easily…
we shall see if I get the ballot in time and how this new way of voting (for me) goes…
wish me luck, as once you’ve applied to vote by mail you cannot vote in any other manner;-)…
I received my voting package the next day… wow 🤩…
now to find out who is running in my area…

today was Election Day…
was at the polling station ten minutes before it opened as I was trying to vote and get to work on time…
when I arrived I checked my information to be sure I was at the correct location because there wasn’t a single car in the lot or any signs… at five to the cars started to pull in and filled the parking pad… shortly after that a person came out and put up a sign advising that this was a polling station…
waited until 8:01, only to discover about 15 people lined up inside… the door didn’t open for another few minutes… often the first people are guinea pigs as the various workers figure what to do, sigh… bit of that this morning…
finally got out and headed to work… would have been on time except for the lights all flashing red along Portage…
miss my beloved on days like this… voting was something we always did together…

took this picture first thing of one of the cannas which was blooming… had cut the two spent blooms off when it came into the house on Sunday…
stuck the stalks into another pot to let them finish drying so I might be able to plant some seeds in the spring… then I spotted this…
our election is coming up and everyone was supposed to receive a voting card in the mail…
I haven’t received one…
have lived in this house for over forty years… have voted in every election since I was old enough… always had the appropriate documentation for each of those elections…
went online to see if I could figure out what to do in this situation… checked the voters list and I am on it… but couldn’t find a phone number to speak with a live person, or an answer to my question about what to take to the polls to be sure I can vote…
tonight I found this in my mailbox…
hope I have read it correctly… planning to vote at the Advance Poll on Friday as I am off, and it is at the Community Club which is just a few blocks from the house…
will take my ID and go early in case there are any problems…
tonight I took another picture of the same flower…
beautiful with the light shining on it…
looking forward to voting and making my voice heard… hope everyone else who is eligible makes use of this right…
