I got up at 8 when the alarm sounded.
I put on an audio and went through my usual morning routine. After
juicing, I filtered most of the rainwater that collected last night.
Then I drove to post to get the mail. After fishing out all the mail
I could touch, I stepped back and jumped up to see inside. A man
coming in to the post office to check his mail, said 'Nice jump'.
Then I drove to the Tuesday quilt group. They were all leaving early
because a storm was coming. I let them know that my mother was much
better now, and they understood. Denise called, so I stayed late to
talk to her. Then I went to the Asian store for kimbap. They had a
substitute kimbap maker this week and it was not as good. Still,
when I got home, I put kimchi on it and ate it all. Chris skyped me
while I ate. We talked about his trip to the US which starts later
today. Then I finished filtering water, and read e-mail. I made
breakfast and ate most of it. I went out in the rain to replace the
tubs. I made up enough supplements to last for the next two weeks.
I did tapping videos, and talked to Faye. I went outside to pick up
all the branches and twigs that fell from the trees. I finished
breakfast. I wrote to Kurt via skype. I think I talked to Faye
again. I printed out a pic of Mom from the desktop computer and
looked for others that were taken earlier. But they were not there.
Then I realized that they were on the OLD computer, the one running
Windows 98. I booted it up while doing something else because it is
slow. But it behaved well. I found the files I wanted and looked
through all the pics. There were no thumbnail pics, so I was
grateful they were labeled. But then I had to get the ones I wanted
to the desktop with the printer. The old one writes to disks, but
the newer one does not. And there is no place for a thumb drive. So
I tried to e-mail them, getting nowhere. Finally I realized that
that computer doesn't have a wireless connection so I had to plug it
into the router. THEN, I e-mailed the pics to the other computer and
printed them out. It was good to see Mom as she was before
Parkinson's got her. Then I looked through framed pictures in the
basement. Frankly, her only chance of being in one was to stand
beside Michele, but that did not work either. By then it was almost
10 and I hadn't eaten supper. It seemed too late, but I was going to
wait up for Chris to call when he landed in Honolulu, so I made a
frozen fruit smoothie with sunflower seeds. I listened to an audio
on what goes into tap water and how to get it out. Waiting up for Chris...
