I had a hard time getting
to sleep last night feeling so helpless to make things go right in
Pinehurst. When I woke up, the troubling thoughts came back to haunt
me. I got up thinking it was late, but the alarm hadn't gone off.
My phone said I had a missed call 10 minutes ago, but when I called
her back, it was 12 hours ago. I don't know why I did not hear it
then. I got out the vacuum to sweep up crumbs in the kitchen. Then
I moved to the computer room. I swept behind the small dresser, then
moved it back to where it belongs. I put the drawers back in. Then
I used the vac to sweep my laptop fan ports again, just in case there
was a lodged particle. But when I booted it up, there was still no
fan activity. I turned to the desktop. It had rebooted itself from
last night. When I connected it to the internet, I got a message
saying Windows had updated and rebooted my computer. How in the
world did it do that when I had the router turned off? ESP?
I checked e-mail and
looked up ceiling fans. I did my exercises. Denise called and I
talked to her until Sharon called to offer me the options of a better
furnace filter and two air filter units. Then I called Denise back
and she said she will visit me tomorrow. I called William. I juiced
and drank it, then Bob and Darren came by. He brought in my pkg from
Nuts' com which I did not know was sitting on the porch. Bob and
Darren checked the filter and left to get new one. I straightened
up the bathroom and bedroom, and got dressed. I went to quilting, and
made a star from strips of folded fabric. When I came home, I
practiced starting off on an uphill slope. I made breakfast, and ate
breakfast, reading e-mail. I had a headache, so I went outside to
mow the front yard. Then I raked the side yard. Darren showed up
with a room air filter and a 25x25 Filtrete 1900. He hooked up the
air filter unit in the bedroom. Then he exchanged the 1000 filter
for the 1900. I showed him how the basement door won't latch with
the plate on. He got a chisel out and fixed that. I showed him the
bathroom ceiling which I wanted to have tested for mold and he
calculated how much material it would take to replace it. Then he
left. I finished raking and then mowed what was raked. I came in to
work on the survey for guild. I priced more ceiling fans. I
e-mailed those links to Parker. I printed out the survey. I
scrambled the duck eggs for supper. I also ate a few pepitas
(pumpkin seeds) which came with my raw cacao order. I called Denise
to see if she wanted me to donate her quilt top tonight. I found my
nametag. When I went downstairs to get her quilt top, the stairwell
light burnt out. After I found it, I put some fabric away, and opened
a flashlight to see if the battery was corroded. I ran out of time,
so then I went to quilting in Chris' car. I parked in the lot on a
slope so I engaged the parking brake. But it rolled forward when I
lifted my feet. So I had to put it in gear. When I got inside I was
handed a number for the round robin ornament demonstration. I turned
in my survey, and sat with Jodi until the link for tickets shortened.
It was a short meeting, with showntell, and comfy quilts. Not many
were turned in. Then we gathered at 6 different tables for our round
robin for ornaments. Standing at each one got painful. So I went
home, and had no problems driving. I ate more pumpkin seeds, and
skyped with Chris. He was exhausted. Then I read a few more
e-mails, posted to my blog and went to bed, hoping the new air filter
unit would make a difference.
* This is not a great picture, but you can see one of the ornaments in the top left corner, and you can see the lady giving her presentation of mats made from plastic bags for the homeless. *
