Helping at the swap shop

Wednesday

I got up at 7:30, disappointed at not having slept well. I got up and dressed. I went outside to water all the plants. I came in and got ready for coffee morning. All the usual exercises, coffee, meditation, supplements, etc. Then I cleaned the bathrooms and kitchen. There appeared blue streaks from cutting up the methylene blue. Thankfully Comet got them out. Anca texted me saying she couldn't open the swap shop this afternoon so could I do it? I said yes.

I got a call from the occupant in 109 saying he could not make the signover and asking if I could reschedule. I said yes. I went to Housing to reschedule for Monday and to turn in the key from the house yesterday.

When I got home, Michele texted, asking what I was doing. I called Jamie to tell her the signover was rescheduled. While we were talking, I put on my bathing suit and laid out in the sun. We talked a little longer. Then I responded to Michele. She said she needed a ride home from the pool. So I jumped in the car just as I was, and went to the pool to pick her up. I drove her home, then went home.

The sun had gone behind a cloud so I did some vacuuming then went out to sunbathe a little more. I took a shower and put on clean clothes. I read some e-mail and messages. I called Jenni to join me at the swap shop. Then Anka texted to say she could do it after all.

I worked on a different set of mp3 headphones. I had to look up those instructions, too. I thought I turned them off as I went to the swap shop. Anca was already there. I pitched in to help hang donated clothing. People came and dropped off more stuff. Jenni arrived to help as well. Kyle showed up around 5:30. I asked him about the Village Voice and he said he would send me a copy.

I also went next door to the beauty shop and set up an appointment for next Wednesday. Then I went back to the swap shop and found a dress I thought I could make into a nightgown. I left as Anca was locking up, and went home.

I laid down because I was feeling lightheaded. Then it occurred to me that my blood sugar might be low due to fasting. So I checked and it was 92. So no. I sat at my laptop and finished watching an interview while eating cashews. I watched a video on building things with cardboard.

I worked on my blog. We watched one episode of Longmire. Then we read a chapter of the devotional book. I wrote out Happy Birthday on staff paper, both a treble and a bass clef line. Chris went to bed, but I stayed up to get the mp3 headphones ready. I took them to bed. I think I fell asleep pretty quickly, but woke up when the music changed. I turned them off and went back to sleep.
