Today’s weather makes me feel… (complete the sentence)
Where I live we love to talk about the weather. The conversation lately is about how mild it is for this time of year. The ground is covered in snow now, (as of yesterday), although it’s not very deep and with above zero temps in the forecast this week, mmmaybe it will melt again? And wouldn’t that be crazy.
Speaking of crazy, my life is now kind of exciting. I keep saying exciting, excited, in ways I never did or felt before. If politics turns you off or bores you then you’ll probably want to stop reading now. Especially because this is low level municipal politics.
To me, it’s the most interesting thing I’ve done in forever. Last night was our inauguration, the swearing-in meeting. First we had to do a bit of a photoshoot, individual photos then a group photo that will hang on the wall for til the end of time, along with all the previous councils. Kinda cool.
Last night’s meeting was open to the public (as most are) and afterwards they held a welcome reception with food and fake champagne. Families could attend and so Clint, Sid and Bella-Lena came. Cordelia and Baby RR had to stay home unfortunately, as he has an awful case of Hand, Foot and Mouth, picked up at daycare.
Yesterday morning council was invited to an announcement at the Boys and Girls Club, a new program called Huddle with new space that is going to benefit youth aged 12-29 in a variety of ways. Something our city needs!
This afternoon I’m going with other members of council to tour the progress of our new indoor swimming pool complex. I’m soooo excited to see inside of it! Construction began probably nearly two years ago and it’s slated to open by next summer.
Next Monday is our first official council meeting where we get down to the nitty gritty.
I apologize if my blog posts are me fan-girling over municipal politics going forward but hey, at least you’ll stop hearing about my going-blonde-hair-transformation.
