My Single Mom Life

I got one of the docs I needed, now just three more to go.
Man, this is just, ugh, frustrating.
I have so much other stuff to do, and this has been consuming my entire day so far.
I'm hoping I can get this done or at least mostly done, so I can get out to the polls tonight.

There are some local community issues that need to be voted on, like the penny tax which pays for so many things, and people want to end it.
The penny tax is something we have been paying for a few years now, since 1989, and renewed again in 1997, it's hardly noticeable, but it pays for the city's improvements to our roads and schools, bridges, parks, and libraries.
Removing the penny tax would be so stupid.
That money has to come from somewhere, it might as well be from the penny tax.
And it's not actually a penny, it's 1 percent, so before any local people show up here to blast me for calling it the penny tax, I do know what it is and what it's called.
Yes, it's slick marketing, but it's a 1 percent tax on purchases, and a full one-third of that money comes from tourism.
And speaking of tourism...
Also is the vote on repairing and renovating, Ed Smith Stadium, which holds spring training for a major baseball team, The Cincinnati Reds.
When they are here for spring training, people come from across the country and Canada, to watch them practice and have some show games.
This part of the tourism industry is vital for Sarasota's economy.
The money earned from hotels and shopping, helps pay for so many things in our community.

So anyway, as soon as all the docs offices are closed for the evening and it looks like i won't be getting any more important calls, I'll be heading to the polls.
I hope all of you have gone or are planning to vote today too.
I know voting can be discouraging sometimes, it feels like your vote doesn't or won't count, but it does.
If you don't vote, you have no right to complain later when the wrong guy or bill, gets elected or passed.
