Updating the thrift shop
I got up early so I could be at gate 17 to sign in one of the construction workers. Ella, Geri, and Mrs. Chung signed in men too. The consequence of signing someone on post is that you have to stay with them until they leave. So I had to stay at the thrift shop until the men were finished adding an awning on the side and constructing a covered walkway in the back. It took them 6 hours. (I can't imagine how they got permission to make permanent changes to the building.) During that time I shelved books, put out videos and DVD's, and counted puzzle pieces. There must have been at least 6 puzzles, ranging from 500 to 1000 pieces each. Since I usually work for three hours, I decided not to come in on Thursday. Yes, I know they are having a potluck luncheon, but I need those hours back for sewing. When I got home, I ate some kimchi and natto. Then I sat at my computer and discovered that I hadn't finished breakfast. There it sat, waiting for me. So I ate that too. When I tired of e-mail, I decided that I should probably do the things I kept saying I would do if only I could leave the thrift shop. So I ate two veggie popsicles, cleaned the bathroom floor, and cut some scraps. Then I took a nap until Chris came home. I cut more scraps into usable shapes until supper was ready. Then he and I ate while Michele (who had supper with a friend before she came home) played on her computer. We watched one episode of MacGyver. Then Chris turned off the TV, so I went back to the computer to work through my e-mail.
