Finally the hst's are done

I got when Chris did to make his sandwich. I went back to bed, but going to sleep was not in the cards. So I got up to read through my e-mail and have breakfast. I cubed some cheese for lunch. I grabbed my bags of fabric and 1 bag of recyclables, and headed to post. I was the only one there at first, and got a head start on bringing in tools. Mary came then and carried in the machines. Then some ladies came to set up tables. Finally we had a crowd. Some worked on baby quilts, some on scrap quilts, and me, I cut strips for kits. Japan was the hot topic of conversation. Judy was not feeling well and stayed home. We missed her (and the pickled eggs she brings). I let the ladies pick through the bags of fabric, and then took the rest for the thrift shop. I also brought in rulers and sold several, including the 20.5 inch square. It is a relief to have that out of my trunk. After lunch, we worked some more, then packed up. One lady was so gung-ho, she kept working and I practically had to push her out so I could get home by three. I was expecting a repair person, but the repair got rescheduled. I cleared some more e-mail and got down to 4 unread messages. I decided to take a break and work on the half square triangles for the exchange. Then Chris came home early. Since Michele was not home, we....never mind. Soon it was supper time. Michele came home, and we ate. I added some chongbukong to my soup, and it was awful. Then I finished my hst's, labeled them, put them in a baggie and an envelop to mail, and thought to myself, "What a lot of effort for 28 squares!". I think I will watch some CSI and go to bed.
