I heard the alarm go off,
but stayed in bed to do a little mental programming. When I got up,
I read a book for 20 minutes while sitting beside the HappyLight.
There was no sun out this morning. I swished and ate a leaf of kale
that I picked from my window garden. Then I exercised, and juiced.
I ate one of the kiwis. I read e-mail. I loaded and ran dishwasher
before going to Target for 9-volt and 6-volt batteries, which I saw
on their website. They did not have the 6-volt, however. I came
home and made breakfast. I looked for 6-volt batteries on Amazon. I
read the reviews, and found related videos on Youtube. Then I saw
how to recondition bad rechargeaables. I tried it on the DeWalt
drill battery and it worked. I looked up the Ryobi to see what kind
of battery it was. I realized that my original objective was to
order a lantern battery. They also had videos about reviving laptop
batteries, but since mine was in the shop, I could not try the
procedure (with my old battery of course). One video showed how to
put new batteries with an old battery so that the charge will
equalize. I put one of the old 9-volts (had a charge of 8) against
one terminal of the 6-volt. That should raise it to 4 volts, right?
I put new 9-volts in the smoke alarm and re-installed it in the
hallway. It resumed beeping so I sent an e-mail to Chris. I noticed
daylight fading so I went outside to rake in the back yard. There
were leaves all over the property and I wasn't sure where to rake,
but consoled myself that eventually they will all be raked up and I
will wonder what to do next. I came in, read Chris' reply and then
realized I still hadn't ordered a battery. I boiled water to melt
some butter to put on a sweet potato. While it melted, I unloaded
the dishwasher. I ate the potato with pumpkin seeds while watching
X-Files. When the DVD started skipping, I took a break to gather up
the laundry and the bedsheet. I did the load of towels and bedding
first. Then I finished the episode and watched a second one. I was
looking at quilts on Pinterest and ended up on a math site trying to
understand what a rhombic hexecontahedron was. Someone quilted one
so I want to do one, too. That led to other polyhedra formed by
stellating the regular ones. I made what is called a small
rhombicuboctahedron once but did not know that was its name. I was
feeling tired so I laid down until the laundry was done. Then I got
up to dress the bed. I went back to studying polyhedra until Chris
skyped me and Michele joined the conversation. We talked until she
had to go do her laundry. Then we all hung up and those of us on
central time went to bed.
