No car care today

After reading through my e-mail and talking to Chris over SKYPE, I decided to take the car to get the door fixed. I was told that the car care center was closed on MOndays. So I went today. But even though the gate was open and 5 people were there, and the man who runs the place was there, I was told that they were closed on Tuesday as well and would I please come back tomorrow. SO I drove to the thrift shop. I shelved books for 2 hours. We had a LOT of donations. Then I spent a few minutes putting up videos. At one I walked over to the Arts and Crafts Center. SEveral ladies were watching the quilting machine go through its motions. So I 'helped'. Actually I ate my lunch and leafed through some quilting magazines that the thrift volunteers had set aside for me. I chose 5 and two other ladies chose some. After Toniette's quilt was finished, I returned the other quilt magazines, and drove Cathy to the SPC to get her car. I went over to the DHL to check prices for travel over the holidays. Guam had the lowest, but the dates are suboptimal. I drove back to the apartment complex before realizing that I could have left the car on post and walked home. It took me almost 20 minutes to drive there in traffic this morning. I had a proper lunch then, and worked on my silk tablerunner. I backed it and quilted it and put the binding on one side. I will hand finish it later. A Jackie Chan movie came on TV and that slowed me down.
