adulting: I AM DOING IT

[fox]

• voted (put the ballot in an official dropbox which has not, to my knowledge, been set on fire)
• mailed the 500 postcards to Ohio
• signed up to drive voters to the polls in Pennsylvania next Tuesday
• scheduled my mom for a doctor's appointment she needs
• (last week) took my mom to the optometrist to get her glasses tightened and on the same day to the DMV to get her non–driver's license ID
• ordered my kid some replacement shoelaces
• got some dresses hemmed up
• took some boots in to be resoled
• thinking about new slippers; also thinking about the 4.5" Chirp wheel for the back of my neck (and its friends the knot behind my shoulderblade and the TMJ on the right side, which presents as pressure in my right ear)
• not going ahead and ordering either of these until after the election in case we need to flee to Ireland or someplace we can get to without a visa

[eta: Plus I have a plan for my husband's Christmas present and he didn't even have to suggest it to me. What is even happening in my life? (Now if only I could get moving on Yuletide)]
