Monday On My Mind

April 12, 2021 By Carole

Alternative title: Sometimes Mondays show up before you’re ready.

And still, I want to tell you that I won my reelection to the Board of Selectmen in my town. I was the only one to take out nomination papers and turn them in, so I was the only one on the ballot. However, I had a challenge from a last minute write in campaign which pitched me into high gear last week. I’m happy to say that I rallied my troops, which resulted in a good turn out and I have secured 3 more years.

So. I spent all day Saturday at the polls, greeting voters and doing lots of socializing … something I haven’t done in over a year. And yesterday, Dale and I drove around town for several hours, picking up all my campaign signs. It’s a great thing to have wonderful support. It’s also maybe a little exhausting. And it also means maybe Monday shows up a little sooner than I’d prefer!

All of this is to say … I’m tired this Monday . . . but in a very satisfied way.

    Congratulations, Carole! That’s a well-deserved victory! And I think you also deserve a little nap today, if you can manage it!

    Big Congratulations to you, Carole, on three more years! And I’d also like to thank you for picking up your campaign signs. The landscape is always littered with thousands of them in both NJ and DE after elections, and the lack of responsibility pisses me off.

    Congratulations, Carole! You mentioned you were collecting ideas from readers for future posts… What it means to be a town selectman would be an interesting one for some of us!

    Congratulations Carole. Also as someone else said, thanks for ‘cleaning up’ your signs. I also hate when people just leave them.
