September Sob Story

Prepare to wail despondently.
(Or not...depending on your mood.)

We seeded our grass two weeks ago, since we understood that any work that might get done on our yard would happen in October sometime. Which would give our grass plenty of time to grow and put down their roots, and all that fun stuff. Then our yard got shrunk today. And trampled (minorly).

As you can see, we have lost possession of some precious ground. It is very precious indeed, to me, and although it never was mine to start with, it still hurts to loose it.

I think I'll wail despondently for a while.

Or I could be an adult, and just get over it.
Maybe my kids would learn something from that.
But just in case they won't, and I be disappointed from the effort that is fruitless, I may just give in to these emotions.

Oh, and I think I just lost a filling.
Ouch.

Headlines blaze "Canadians voted to move our country forward"

It's all over? Oops! Maybe I should listen to the media more...I almost forgot to check what happened. Nothing (well, hardly) has changed.

Nice

I sure appreciate that they list more data than just the names now. Makes my life easier. I've never been good with names, but especially not with strangers names.

There was some small talk chat there...which surprised me, since last time I checked, we weren't in a small town. Probably helps that there were only 4 of us voters there at the time.

Sure is nice to be just "steps" away from the polling station. And I just LOVE the evening chill in the air. I actually got cold walking there and back in my sandals and shorts. YAY! Maybe I'll be able to wear pants for a whole day, this October, without overheating. Just maybe.

I'm pretty Canadian, eh? Talking carelessly about politics, and then reverting to the weather.

Time for the evening cleanup. Yahoo! (I mean that in the sarcastic literal sense--not in the computer related sense :p )

Voting day!

Time to shape your world. Or so the government adds say. I don't believe that voting will change anything. After all, I'm only one in a million. But it is my civic responsibility. *deep sigh*


So, is this dude your hero?
Uh--what was his name again? ;)

Well, I'm off to the polls.
