Rainy Day Music

It's Wednesday, October 22nd and where has the time gone? These weeks have been a blur of Hammer Guy studying for his exam, Birdy at a different daycare for four weeks, field trips with Toad and CdB, and me in a desperate search for a new job. It's day to day at the Minnesota branch. It's all I can do to get the laundry and dishes done. HG's exam is this Friday, however, and I somehow obtained the entire weekend off, so there will be much relaxing and celebrating -- and hopefully he will pass.

Next week is Halloween and before we know it, we'll be Home for the Holidays. We're planning a short Thanksgiving trip to Wisconsin -- but I of course have to work the dreaded Day After Thanksgiving (Black Friday). I beg you, out of respect for Retail Workers Everywhere, please do not go shopping that day.

Also, don't forget -- Election Day is right around the corner. This is a critical election year. In Minnesota, you can register to vote at the polls on Election Day. I will be spending November 4th as an Election Judge for my Little City on the Crow River -- what an exciting time to be a part of the democratic process.
