jennlkand chilly today. It was warm yesterday, but it's been on the cool side for April most of the week. (I wore my winter jacket to rehearsal on Monday. Good thing I did, because it was snowing when we came out.) I ran errands on Wednesday in the nice weather because I don't like doing them in the rain, especially when I've got a stop at donation centers on the list. I got into the garden yesterday after work for weeding. In a garden I haven't really worked on in a couple of years, so I didn't get a large area done. It will take a long time to finish the spring garden work at that pace, but I will eventually get into areas that don't need as much work.
We've had three voters drop their ballots at the township hall, even though the envelope clearly says STH. We've also had three voters return their unvoted ballots to STH, telling the clerk there that "I don't live in ST, I don't vote in ST." So I wrote up a letter saying "Yes, you *do* vote in ST for school elections. Here's your ballot again. We sent you a letter in early March telling you that there would be a ST school election." and re-sent their ballots. Another 2oz stamp and a trip to the PO because people won't read their mail, or contact either township hall. (At least now I know that a ballot envelope + mailing envelope weighs 2oz, so I don't have to wait in line, I can just drop it in the box at the PO.)
