HST's

I stayed in bed after waking to do a little meditation. Then I got up to open the boxes that came yesterday. They had cutting mats in them, including one rotating mat. I prepared breakfast and at in front of the computer. About 10:30 I took a shower, dressed, gathered the recyclables, and headed out. I dropped off the recyclables on the way to post. Then I drove to the thrift shop. They were removing expired merchandise and the aisles were full of clothing. I could hardly get by. Thankfully there weren't many books to shelve. I processed DVD's instead, and marked down the older ones to make room for the newer ones. I sat in the kitchen to count a 1000 piece puzzle. Before I finished, Ella came in with two pizzas and I had to make room, and finally go in the office to finish counting. The box was still tagged from when I counted it in July. But this time there were only 999 pieces, so the person who dropped it off must have lost one. I left at 2 to go home. I had a bite to eat and got back on my computer for awhile. When I tired of that, I went into my sewing room to prepare for class. Then I took a nap. Chris came home about 5:30. I left a little after that. It was raining then, but turned to snow before I got to the SPC. I thought to myself, if I weren't the teacher, I would stay home. Well, for awhile it seemed like everyone else had the same thought. Being alone, I decided to cut strips for Stork's Nest kits. But then Melanie came, and showed me the projects she was working on. Then Esther came, and Heidi. They enjoyed sewing on paper to make half square triangles, and they both bought mats and rulers. When I got home, I glanced again at my inbox full of articles to read and interviews to listen to, and decided to post and go to bed. No sandwich-making tonight 'cause Chris left the last one in the fridge this morning.
