Interruptions

Wednesday

I got up before 7:30. I watered the plants and checked out some gopher mounds. I got ready for coffee morning. As I was reading, the electricity flickered. The timer was fine, but the CD player reset. So I restarted the music. I meditated and tapped. Someone texted me wanting to get into the swap shop. I told her I couldn't do it before noon. So I gave her Jenni's number and went back to tapping. Later I got a text from Tara asking me if I could open it at 11:15. I also got a text from the lady saying noon was fine.

I cleaned the bathrooms and kitchen. I went to the swap shop and unlocked it. I waited a bit. The salon lady's granddaughter came over to drop off something. So I went over there to thank her. Then I got into a conversation until a customer came in. The lady I was waiting for hadn't come, so I turned off the lights but left the door unlocked and went home.

As I was cleaning, I got a call from Emily. She found the door unlocked and the lights on. It seemed like someone had been there, so I told her to lock it. But an hour later, the lady called me to say she was going over there. So I jumped in my car and went to unlock it. She had a bunch of stuff to put in, then she left and I locked it and went home.

I finished cleaning. I laid out in the sun. I took a shower. I folded some wash cloths from previous cleanings. I read some e-mail. I went to the library to return a book, check out another book, make copies and pick up a carton of eggs. Then I stopped by Emily's office to thank her for calling me.

I took the eggs home. I went to Coyote Cove and parked in the driveway of the house we just had inspected. Then I walked over to Mustang to clean at 611. Their street was being sealed. Jamie was there. We talked a little, and cleaned a lot. 2 hours. Then I walked back to my car and went home.

I started hardboiling eggs. CJ messaged me about bringing eggs tomorrow. So I put some empty boxes in a bag on the front door. I ate three small eggs. Chris came home from work. He said there was no Mass tonight. Then he went over to see John and Michele.

I put on the Kaatsu bands. I finished steaming a third batch of eggs. I put another egg box in the bag. I hooked up the weed-eater attachment to the mower and cut down a stand of tall weeds in two places. Then I did some mowing. I put the mower away.

I called Jenni to see if she wanted to walk. Yes. So she put on her shoes and came over. The wind was whipping up, but we walked around the block, talking all the way. Then she went home.

I worked on my blog. I texted with Michelle and checked Telegram messages. I made tea and we watched one episode of Criminal Minds. Afterward, Chris went to bed and I stayed up to read messages.
