I got up at 7:15, thinking that our
account was strangely deficient. But then I looked at the statement
and figured out where some of it went. I read e-mail, then
exercised, unpacked my suitcases, emptied the dishwasher, juiced, and
made breakfast. After breakfast, I started a pinterest page so I
could have all my quilt pics in one place. Loading pics took a
while, and was unnecessarily difficult because the pics were in the wrong date files. And then the laptop got confused and said it could not find
the internet. I switched to the desktop. It had pictures that the
laptop did not have. But eventually it got confused too, but in a
different way. By then the laptop had sorted itself out. As I was
pinning, Denise called, and I talked to her for awhile. I went out
to check the mail. You'd think with a new mailbox, we'd get better
mail, but it was the same old junk mail. Bob did not replace the
pole which is falling backward, but he did shim the box so that it is
level. The grass was not so wet, so I decided to mow. The garage
door on that side would not open. It does not seem to be connected
to the opener. So I used the other side. I mowed in the back yard
until I realized that I was flattening the grass, not cutting it
anymore. It was a good time to quit. I turned the mower over and
removed the blade with a wrench. I took 'before' pics in case I had
trouble reassembling it, but there was no confusion. I tried to sharpen the blade with the electric grinding wheel that the landlord left in the garage. But it was turning the wrong way, and mounted such that I could not get the blade into position. So I had to do it by hand with a file. I hope I did it right. After I finished, I swept up the clippings from yesterday and raked some of the leaves under the magnolia tree. I found turds
on the back deck. It must have been a large dog to leave something
that size. I ate a piece of fish for supper and collected some
dandelion, pea leaves, and spinach for a salad. I washed the greens and put
quinoa in a pot to cook. I went back to 'pinning' my quilt photos on
Pinterest. It was a most addictive activity. There are 163 pic on
my page now. Just as I finished the pic from the file that was open,
Chris and Michele skyped me. They had been playing with the voices
again. It was good to see Chris (who had video going) and to hear
Michele (who was audio only). After an hour of talking, I had to
finish up and go to bed. There is church tomorrow.
