Voting Day

Well, M and I did our civic duty this morning and voted in the Canadian Federal Elections. This will determine if our current Prime Minister Harper gets to stay in office for another term.

I cleaned up the garden a little bit this morning after my walk. It's still too early to cut back the perennials, I think. It seems to want to rain but the sun keeps peeking out.

It was a rigorous academic weekend for K and I. He's miffed at having had to do so much homework on a long weekend. But report cards are due this week and it won't likely be pleasant, so we're trying to do some 'catch up' work as well. L gets to attend a leadership seminar at school next week. It's one of the perks for being selected head of arts council for the year. She was also selected to be the in-training co-ordinator for Public Relations at her school. M took her out for a driving lesson yesterday and she had improved dramatically since the first lesson.

I think our basement is in the final phases, it shouldn't be more than the next week or 2. But it's still nerve wracking thinking what else can go wrong and meanwhile hoping for the best outcome. They're working on the bathroom and tiling today. We're expecting a plumber to call about clearing our kitchen sink line.

I'm planning to grill some zucchini and eggplant today. Haven't thought about the rest of the meal. I don't like going to the grocery store the morning after a long weekend, I'm waiting for them to put out some fresh stuff.
