Alphabetizing the movies

I put some lavender oil on the back of my neck hoping it would help me sleep. But I guess the vetiver is an essential part of the falling asleep effect. I woke up early and my throat hurt but I realized it had something to do with breathing. Everyday the pain goes away while I am drinking water and does not come back until the next morning. I got up right after Chris left. I drank water with vinegar and ginger and turmeric. Maybe some vit C, too. I boiled water for coffee. I exercised and drybrushed. I read e-mail, and listened to audios. I found some vetiver on Amazon but did not complete the order, hoping to find something else to order to qualify for free shipping. When my Monday routine was finished, I cleaned up the kitchen. I called Myra to see if she wanted to go walking. She came to my house and I gave her some chocolates. We walked up the mountain and around to the post office. I picked up some priority mail boxes. We went to the Bx looking for Command hooks, but there were none. Then we stopped near her house, talking to her neighbor. When I got home, Chris was here for lunch. I swallowed 5 packets of Vitamin C, then made breakfast. While eating breakfast, I read about flax seed and pumpkin seed for balancing estrogen. So I ate a bag of my seed crackers. I looked up the lowest temp for cooking eggs so next time I bake my crackers I can apply the least heat necessary to the seeds. I watched a Quilts of Valor episode of TQS. It was very interesting. Three quilt 'coaches' taught three newbies how to make one QOV. I wondered if we could do something like that here.
I tried to put together an Amazon order of essential oils for a sleep formula I read online, and a detox formula. But even though each item was marked free shipping, when I went to check out, some shipping charges were still in place. So I figured I needed to get the same brand of each. But then I ran into shipping restrictions. How in the world is it ok to ship rosemary oil, but not geranium oil?
I assembled one priority mail box and put stuff in it. As I was deciding what else should go in, I got distracted somehow and ended up alphabetizing our entire movie collection. Chris came home from work just as I finished up. He made his usual burrito and I heated up a bowl of chicken soup. I filled out a customs slip for my box, and wrote some checks. Then we watched Footloose. It was hard to hear all the dialog, possibly because it was a VHS tape. But I liked the music. By the end, I was up and dancing. Chris would not dance with me. Then I sat down to write up my blog. I ordered the oils that Amazon would permit and e-mailed Chris about the geranium oil. He says his coworker might be able to get it. Finally I was ready for bed.
