Low
level anxiety is dogging me these days, and I’m certainly not alone. To combat
this I decided on walking the local bike path again. However, my attempt at a
relaxing hike rather backfired. With a personality tending more toward gallows
humor than doomsday alarmist, the following view nonetheless set me back a
pace. I mean, come on…

| The drop-off to the water should be about twelve feet. Yikes! And that rectangle off to the right is a submerged bench. |
Our
citizenry has been acting calm, but Mother Nature? Not so much. I tried saving a stranded fish with no luck. Maybe he or she knew better and will survive.

You
see, misplaced items have appeared in odd places a few times before. I think I’m
being clever when sleepy and later fail to relocate what’s been moved. ~shakes head~ So, I
proceeded looking about the house without saying a word. By early afternoon,
mind boggled, I looked up what to do in case of a lost ID and dialed a number
provided on the census website.
While
on hold, I found another option and began the process without that code. Then I
ran upon a snag, wondering how my husband specified his Caucasian ethnicity. Since
he agreed the census would be my responsibility, I decided to ask.
As
it happened, he took care of the census queries early
this morning. ~sigh~ We shared a good laugh, both admitting responsibility in
the misunderstanding.
Have you received the census packet? Who in your household will likely take responsibility for responding?

Yes, I got two!!HAHA...I have one for the old house and one for the new. Which one do I do? haha....anyway, as for WHO, well not thinking Chey or Lily will decide to take that on so I figure that will have to be yours truly! Matter of fact, I need to fill out my paper work to renew my contract so I guess this evening I will work on both....UNLESS I find something more interesting to do. As for a walk, its colder then crap here after almost 70 yesterday, I am not going to go out and walk NOWHERE! Heck I have been doing way to much of all that since I moved, from one room to the other, up and down the stairs. I am not sure I will ever get all this in a place!

DeleteYeah the ethnicity question boggled my mind, and feeling under stress to come up with something, I suddenly typed out Welsh on the online form. Welsh? What? I then became worried that would get me in trouble, not being Welsh, not even knowing why I wrote that down and tried to call the number to ask for a redo, but gave up after too long on hold. So now I identify as Welsh. I have to own it.
ReplyDeleteAs it happens, my husband left that blank for both of us. I'm sorry for your stress, but on the bright side you made me giggle with that last line. :)
DeleteIn India the census is slated to commence next month. But here, officials come personally to each household and document the details of people. Considering that India has a population of nearly 1.33 billion, this is one of the most elaborate processes in the world, you can imagine.
ReplyDeleteNow with the virus wreaking havoc all over the place, I doubt if the census will keep the schedule.
Wow! That is a big undertaking. Stay well!
DeleteI did the census for us 2 days ago online.
ReplyDeleteGood for you. :)
DeleteAs I get the mail, I saw the Census packet. Gave it to roommate. I'll have to ask if she did it.
ReplyDeleteAll of my incoming mail lives in a drawer. It stays there until I do something about it. I find it's easier to keep all of my papers together like that, so when I need to deal with them, I know where to find them. A staging area, I think that's what it's called. Something my family had done from the time I was a child.
I wondered how it would work with roommates. :) And a staging area is a great idea! I should do that.
