The end of CSI

I was following my normal Tuesday routine, intending to go to the thrift shop at 11, when I got a phone call. They needed me to sign a dump truck driver on post. The thrift shop is having some concrete poured out back. So I hurriedly dressed and drove out to gate 17 to sign the driver on, and lead him to the thrift shop, with Mrs. Chung's help. At the shop, I started shelving books, of which there were quite a few. Then I overheard Ella talk about how many pricing guns were not working. So I offered to fix them. I did not realize how many she had. I have to admit that most were already working and I don't know why she had those set aside. But I went through the whole stack. There were a few not fixable. But I learned how to replace the needles. On one the spring sprang and the guts went all over. That was fun putting it back together! In the middle of this, the truck driver finished collecting the extra dirt and was ready to leave. So I had to go sign him off post, and then sign on the cement truck and driver. Later I got to sign him off as well. That was about 11:30 and I could have left, but the books weren't done. So I finished that and some of the DVD's. Mary Ann stopped by for a little chat. She brought me the message that I had been misinformed about the Chosun spraying pesticide all over their products. Instead they fumigate. Korean law.
I went home, and intended to sew, but found myself online, clearing e-mail. After supper we watched the last disc of the tenth season of CSI. Strangely I had the feeling I had seen those episodes. So I finished the second baby quilt while glancing at the TV. Michele was indignant that the season ended with Dr. Langston being stabbed by a serial killer. Oh well. After the show ended, I tweezed my eyebrows, put the last stitches in the quilt, cleaned up the scissors, clipped threads, and sat down to post before I go to bed. I have already made Chris's sandwich for tomorrow, and most of my breakfast, because I have to get up early to go to school.
