Ooh I would not count on that askye! Will you have plenty of time on Election Day if needed or will you be trying to squeeze it in before work or something?

Ha. I was composing while you were, Calli - I think you actually earned an "I'm done now," as opposed to my "I made eggs and talked at the same time!" claim.

Our wings are not tired.
Multi-tasking gold star, JenP!
I have packed and loaded into my car 4 bags of kitchen food and/or devices and packed one big bin of clothes. I have decided to leave the instant pot and air fryer and treat myself to new ones in Florida rather than bringing them back and forth. So really just the food stuffs need packing. I can't leave any canned goods because the freezing and thawing turns the contents to mush. We've been eating the freezer/fridge stuff and the remaining stuff will go to family.
On track for morning departure. I pack most stuff in my reusable grocery bags because they are a good size for me to haul stuff and not be too heavy. Timed it well on pet food. My Chewy delivery comes to Florida on Saturday and I have just a few days worth left here.

Go you, Laura. You have it down to a science.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I mailed in my ballot over a week ago, but my county doesn't have an absentee ballot tracking system (the state only tracks absentee ballots from military/overseas) so I have no idea if my vote's been counted or not. NY is solidly blue enough that I'm not really concerned but it would be nice to know.

I made myself homemade chicken tenders and fries last night. I bought a bag of pre-cut frozen tenders, but everything else I did myself - cutting, spicing, and baking the potato wedges, breading and frying the tenders, and making the country gravy from mix.
It came out pretty good - the tenders especially were cooked just right.

my "I made eggs and talked at the same time!" claim.
Most mornings I could not pull that off.

Some mornings, I don't know if I could pull off either alone until I'd been up for a while.
In me me me news, I got my oven to light. I checked the Hotpoint site and it looks like all their 20-inch stoves are self-igniting without a pilot light. So last night I gave it a try - turns out that if I wait for a little while, both burners and ovens will light on their own ... I just got nervous about gas pouring out and didn't wait long enough.

What is even happening?
Oh that's good news, Toddson.

I'm glad that's working for you now, Toddson.
Say, did anyone else get an Amazon "holiday wishbook" in the mail? I think they're trying for a Sears Christmas catalog feel. And I think they're kinda hitting it, although I like to think Sears had somewhat fewer labor violations. At least, after the '30s.
