I can see clearly now

I woke up hearing the blinds rattling. From previous experience I knew that it was a roach. I refused to open my eyes. Mentally I told it to be gone or be quiet. And the rattling stopped. When the alarm rang, I got up to turn it off and turn on the router. I emptied the dishwasher. I checked e-mail while swishing. I was doing my exercises when my back gave me a warning signal. From that point, I cut out any exercise that included bending or leaning. I made breakfast and took a shower. I got dressed, but without pantyhose since putting them on bothers my back. I listened to an audio, and paused when it was time to leave for church. I got there just in time for the service. The Luthermen sang. They are a quartet that sing acapella, and very nicely too. We had four confirmands. They were all dressed up and took their vows in front of the church. After the service, I helped Art count the loose cash. He told me that he could not count the offering this afternoon and would call me about counting tomorrow. I suggested Tuesday was better. Then I asked the church president about software that does all of the tracking of monies and spits out graphs. He suggested talking to the church secretary, but I could not find her. I drove home and went to the bathroom and changed my clothes. Then I drove to Publix. They had large tomato plants with tomatoes already on them, some of them ripe, for less than what I bought from Lowes. So as I was checking out, I mentioned that I wanted one. A grocery bagging specialist got a tag for the cashier to scan. Then on the way out, it took two of them to get the particular one I wanted. She put it in my car. The only place it would fit was on the floor behind the driver's seat. I wondered how I would get it out, or if I would be growing tomatoes in my car until Chris gets back. When I got home, I made two trips to take the groceries in the house, and then was able to carefully lift the plant out and set it on the wall. I checked e-mail and then put the groceries away. I picked wild lettuce and made a salad. I listened to audios as I did Sudoku puzzles. I cleaned two windows before the rain hit. I texted back and forth with Parker. I processed rain water. I started a new batch of fermented coconut milk. I cleaned 4 more windows after the rain let up. I skyped with Chris, then went back to listening to Philosopher's Notes videos on Youtube. I ate a boiled egg mixed with Camembert. I finished a Sudoku puzzle. I took my laptop downstairs to watch an episode of X-Files while ironing dry the fabric I washed yesterday. I came back up to plug in the laptop and watch a second episode. Then I put the disc in the Netflix mailer. I posted to my blog and went to bed.
