60 Days of Gratitude Challenge

Day 1 of 60 Days of Gratitude.

The prompt is Name something that happened today that you are grateful for

The Right to VOTE - I learned today that my absentee ballot was deemed valid and has been counted in the US Election.

So..I am grateful for

1. the Women's Suffrage Movement

that

2. enacted the 19th Amendment granting Women the Right to Vote.

3. The Governor signing an order that granted New Yorkers the ability to vote by absentee ballot.

4. Receiving my ballot in October, before the deadline.

5. The ability to mail in the ballot in without any problems and a reliable mail service.

6. A ballot tracking site - that informed me today of when it was mailed, received and deemed valid. It was deemed received and valid on October 30.

As a result, I could vote in a safe and secure manner.

Here's the tracking site for New York.

Other days, which may or may not change without notice.

( Prompts I'll use for the next 60 days )

Been taking a kind of break from the media. The media is kind of at a frenzy at the moment. I've noticed a trend with the media - regardless of the event - it goes insane. Determined to scare everyone to death.

Please vote if you haven't already. This is hard-earned right for many people in this country. People of Color and Women did not have the right to vote - they had to fight for it. Shed blood, sweat and tears - also lives.
Not voting is akin to spitting on their graves.

Today was a good day. I did laundry without any problems or anxiety. I just did it. And I found out my ballot was validated - so I don't have to worry about voting tomorrow.

Books

I'm doing just about everything via audible at the moment. I don't know why.
I have a few that I'm reading, but not getting all that far.

Daylight Savings Time

It's only 8:48, and I feel like it's past 9. The time change always confuses me. I'm not used to it suddenly being dark at 5 pm, and light again at 6:30 am. This is weird.

Oh, well, at least I don't have to come home at night or go to work at night via commute until next year. My gut tells me I'll be working from home until at least March. I could be wrong. Who knows?

New York Vs. the Corona Virus

( mainly good news, a lot of it is confusing and convoluted...however )

Nanowrimore

Decided to try nanowrimore, again. As predicted, I have writers block now. And can't figure out how to get it to work - and all I'm getting is request for financial donations. Honestly, people, stop asking me for money. I'm not giving any more right now.

That's the problem with giving to charitable organizations, suddenly it's as if everyone thinks you have money and they want some.

I just want to write a story and meet folks. I don't want to donate money to people who are trying to write stories. That seems kind of silly.
