An abundance of rulers

I spent my morning reading e-mail. At 10:30 I left for post. I stopped by the big brown building to drop off the VOY forms. I was so glad to be done with them! Then I went to the thrift shop. There weren't all that many books. Lots of PC games came in, but most were too scratched to sell. I checked the shelves for the X-files DVD from season 2, but they must have sold. I found a Calphalon stew pot for $6. I didn't buy it yet because I want to look it up to see what it is made of. To finish out my day there, I counted puzzle pieces. Two 1000 piece puzzles. I spent a few minutes straightening the book room and then it was 2:30 and time to go. I did not know if my student was coming, as they have stopped telling me when she is not coming. So I need to find a nice way to say "Pay me anyway, or find another teacher". I went home, thinking I would finish a purse I started. But I found myself on the computer listening to an audio about ormus. It is some form of minerals found in the Earth, and supposed to have unlimited health potential. All I really understand is that they are selling it in a bottle. Then I prepared a lesson on half square triangles. I figured beginners could do paper ones, and the more advanced could do the piped ones. Ever give a party and no one shows up? Ok, one person came - an 8 year old girl who had her own idea about what she wanted to work on. And for some reason, my lesson materials did not arrive with me. So we did what she wanted to do, at her pace, for two long hours. Did I mention that I brought the rulers that came yesterday and another box that arrived today? But there was no one to buy them, so I had to take them home again. Now at home, I find myself again on my computer.
