I woke up to the sound of rain. I went
to the garage to be sure it wasn't flooding the boxes I listed on
Freecycle last night. Nope. I put coconut oil on my hair. I turned
on the router and my laptop. I checked e-mail, then looked for my
rain collection tubs. I even looked where they belonged, but could
only find one. So I washed out the basin that I used for a magnesium
soak and put it out with the other tub on the patio table. I went
downstairs to get a towel and brought up the laundry. I put on my
coat and went out to the tent to wick up water, but it didn't look
wet, so I just zipped the cover securely and left it. I folded the
laundry and put it away. I found a pair of underwear that needed
mending. I was well under way when I realized that I did not have my
watch on and time tends to get away from me when I am sewing. So I
came upstairs to make and eat breakfast while reading e-mail. I
meditated and I took a shower and got dressed. I was all ready to
pick up my choir folder and leave, when I noticed my new Publix bag.
I decided to put the styrofoam recyclables in it and take it along.
When I got to church and exited my car, I realized that I had
forgotten both my choir folder and an umbrella. Inside, Linda was
preparing an angel tree. She encouraged me to take a bundle, which
contained a paper with a code number and gift suggestions on the
back, a card, and a plastic bag for the gifts. I listened to the
children's choir warm up. Then the adult choir practiced. Roz
shared her music with me. Then I sat in a pew with Doris. She fixed
the button I could not reach on the back of my dress. We talked
about the joys of living alone. The Luthermen sang at the beginning
of the service. They did well. After the service, I looked for
Jennifer to tell her about diaphragmatic breathing being a massage
for the liver. But I could not find her right away, so I ended up
talking to a lot of other people in the meantime. She was wearing a
cute curly scarf which she said she made with 6 yo's. I had used 9
in mine and it was hard to get the length right. She also asked me
to give Roz a ride this week and she would find someone else for
December. Then I drove to Publix, dropped off the styrofoam trays,
and shopped. When I checked out, the bagger got most of my groceries
in the sack. But not the jug of water. So when I carried it out, my
water got wet. Ha, ha. I brought it all home, and put the produce
away. I looked again for my collection tubs. I got out my
HappyLight to brighten my day as I read e-mail and listened to an
audio on nutrition for anxiety and depression. I heated some heart
broth for lunch, and put some fermented cabbage in it. I finished
the audio and looked up fleece again, then gave up when I was finding
it priced by the kilogram. Then I looked up hand crank flashlights
because the church is looking for items for the homeless. There was
another audio on nutrition. I nearly fell asleep. I laid down on
the couch for awhile, until the audio finished. Then I put on the
Effortless Efficiency CD. I am not certain now exactly what my
original purpose was. I cleaned out Chris' closet so that the duct
people could get to the air return. But I also cleaned my closet,
packed up all the clothes lying on the bed in the guest room,
vacuumed around the bed, found some towels that I bought years ago to
embroider on, dealt with bags of 'stuff' from nightstands and dusty
corners, and packed up the desk area in the den. When I checked my
e-mail again, Chris had skyped me. So I responded and we talked for
some time. After he hung up, I played a Netflix DVD called “Source
Code”. I think I have seen it before so I don't know why I put it
in the queue. Or did I? Anyway, when the movie was over, I spent
way too long looking at the content of the special effects. And then
I went to bed.
