Laundry, Yardwork, Checking Attendance

A friend who is running for reelection told me that her opponent has missed half of the Town committee meetings that he Chairs. Turns out, this is not true. In fact, he missed fewer than a quarter. I let my friend know and am hoping she’ll tell me the source of this misinformation.

Lizzie and I went out a couple of times, once for a walk, other times to keep me company while I worked outside. I raked more leaves and now the truck is full again.

Ron did a pile of laundry, at least four days’ worth.

We had veg burgers, salad and mashed potatoes last night, all from BJ’s. Cooked a real hamburger for Lizzie, too.

Yesterday I saw two mysterious debits from our joint account. Hoping that the Bank can provide some info tomorrow.

Do you ever get tired of being “the one who gets things done”?

I’m just glad that I found a colleague who is helping me with NEPS. The frustration of working with Angular was driving me nuts.

The Mashpee FB groups are exhorting people to attend the first group grope around the Town’s new Master Plan next Saturday.

That got me to thinking about what I like and don’t like about Mashpee.

I don’t like the narrow mindedness, the misogyny, the authoritarianism. I also don’t like that so much of the waterfront, both ocean and fresh, is privately owned.

I don’t think that a new Master Plan is going to change any of that.

I do like the availability of conveniences, both here and in Falmouth and Hyannis. As Ron says, it’s a quasi-country, quasi-suburban area, which is a good combination. I like the climate here and the fact that we can afford to live within our means and with a modicum of safety and privacy.

It would be nice if White’s were to open one of their bakeries in the Commons. Given that they closed their Hingham location last summer, that seems unlikely.
