jennlkA whole lotta same ol' same ol'.
The Bureau of Elections held a virtual seminar on Election Security. It was pretty much useless, but it was better than an inperson training, because I was able to get envelopes prepped for mailing ballots later in the month. It was either stuff I already knew; vague and hand-wavium (X is a possible threat, consult your IT/local law enforcement/insurance agent); or policies/procedures that need to be set by the township board.
I got into the garden a little bit, but the best days for yardwork were early in the week when I don't have enough spoons to do yardwork on top of the other things.
I picked a few strawberries! Quite early, but we didn't get a freeze or frost in the last part of May, and it was warm. I need to go out there today and see if there are any more. It's only the first bearing year for this planting, and there's only a dozen plants, so I don't expect much. But I can get more at the Farmer's Market this week.
The Livingston band had a gig on Saturday afternoon. In South Lyon. I went surface streets, because there's a lot of construction between here and there. There were 35 people in the band (out of the 60+ at rehearsal on Tuesday), and I was the bass line. (The only tuba player was there because his daughter said "Dad, we need a tuba player today", and he was sight reading most of the concert.) It went reasonably well, and people seemed to enjoy it. (and the band got paid, which is always good.)
My filing system for Livingston music needed to be upgraded (it's outgrowing the current arrangement), and it turns out that it's significantly cheaper and quicker to order from the Staples storefront on Amazon than it is to order from Staples directly, even if I pick it up in-store.
I skipped the Farmington band picnic on Sunday, because when I checked the traffic maps, they were telling me it'd be 75-90 minutes one way. erm, no. (especially since I have to go to Farmington twice this week anyway.)
