Whoever heard of a Catcerto?

I had a good night's rest, and got up at 8 with the alarm even though I was already awake. I turned on the router and laptop. I was expecting a lady to arrive at 9 to pick up the boxes, so I exercised right away, and got dressed. I brought in the rainwater and started processing it. Bertha called at 9 and I thought it was the Freecycle lady. Bertha asked me to bring some quilting books to our meeting today. But I could not find the best one and wondered if I had lent it to someone. At 9:30 I e-mailed the lady. She arrived soon after. She had been waiting at the intersection, not having realized that I had sent her my address and phone number. She was very happy to have the boxes, which just barely fit in her car. I finished processing the rainwater and juiced cucumber, carrots, and cranberries. I meditated. I put Netflix in the mail. I took out the garbage, but did not roll it to the street because there was only the one bag. I read e-mail with my HappyLight on. I made and ate breakfast. I went to Nuts.com to order raw cacao, but ran out of time. I put on a coat and rolled my sewing stuff out to Chris' car, picking up the quilting books as I went. When I got to the church, some of the ladies were still eating lunch. I had a bowl of Jodi's vegetable soup. Bertha, Rebecca and I talked about how to quilt Bertha's quilt. After we decided, they left and I made the Do.Good.Stitches block for this month. I also finished Denise's quilt and the blue Linus quilt (from July). Most of the ladies had left by then, but I stayed and cut up scraps for rugs, just to be sociable for awhile longer. But at 4 I packed up to go home. When I got there, I unloaded the car, and took it in the house. I checked the mail – none. I brought in all of the bedding from the tent. It smelled musty in there, and I think water got between the layers of vinyl tablecloth. I dried the tent floor with a towel. It was so cold and getting dark. I came in to check e-mail. I ate an avocado, and some cheese. I read about the chocolate shortage. Then I finished my chocolate order before the price could up. They had an offer for a free pecan pie. I had trouble getting it through checkout because of the script blockers. Instead it wanted to give me $10 off shipping, but the pie is more expensive so I kept at it until the pie was free. I won't eat it, but I am sure it will come in handy for some event. Two years ago, I got one and sent it to Michele. But that avenue is closed now. I started moving things away from the vent in the diningroom. I heard the Skype sounds, so I talked with Chris. Then I read part of an e-book book, and listen to a meditation. Then I resumed moving things away from vents in the diningroom, livingroom, and computer room. I took a break to check e-mail. I came across a link to Catcerto, a lovely tune for cat and orchestra. I found a tapping script at the end of Brad Yates newsletter on “won'ts”. I thought about driving Chris' car on that one. I decided to post to my blog and then go back to clearing the vents.
