Last night I listened to
an audio while I laid in bed trying to sleep, but it went long and I
was glad when it was over. I got up at 8 with the alarm. I boiled
water to wash the Drano out in the bathroom sink. I swished while
reading about how to pop your ears on a plane. It is often a problem
for me and sometimes really bad for days. I came across a product
called earplanes. They are a type of ear plug that equalizes
pressure. I took out the recyclables. I searched where to get
earplanes locally, and it could be a common item at drugstores. There
is no time for shipping before Sunday. I exercised, and listened to
audios. I juiced, made breakfast. I called the computer place, and
my laptop was ready. I went immediately to pick it up. The sound was
working. I asked for another 512MB stick, but he was all out. I
paid for the laptop and previous sticks of memory. We talked for a
while. He's a nice guy, but I still haven't caught his name. When
I got home, I took my supplements, then made blog notes on the
desktop. I reconfigured the internet to enable the wi-fi. It was
time for lunch. Then I cleaned in the kitchen, and started making up
supplements for the trip. Parker called: Mr. Shore hasn't returned
the keys so she can't check on handyman's work, but she should have
the keys back tomorrow and will check again. I went back to the
supplements. Then I parsed out 11 days worth of nuts. Some of them
went into the supplement bottles for better use of space. The rest
went into a baggie. Some nutritional powders were put into small
jars for the trip. I called Walter to arrange to meet after the
meeting tonight. I tweezed my eyebrows and scrubbed my face to get
rid of wrinkles. I tried to compose an answer to an e-mail. I kept
getting distracted because it was too hard to think. I listened to a
short audio by Dain Heer. Then it was time to go. But first I had
to find my name tag, and then put on a Christmas sweatshirt. I threw
on my scrap scarf to go with it. I took the bag with Walter's hemmed
pants, and headed to the guild meeting. A number of the usual
activities were canceled for the night. The meeting was short. A
lady spoke about making things for Linus that were not quilted. Most
were knitted or crocheted. One lady talked about crocheting plastic
bags to make mats for the homeless. We had show-n-tell (my favorite
part). Lisa was there, for the first time I think. She and I got to
talk. She was interested in the new group I had joined. I promised
to send her the link. Each member had been given a paper bag and
told not to open it. When it was time, we each got a pencil, Hershey
kisses, a candy cane, and a felt cutout and some embroidery thread
and a needle. Oh, and a raffle ticket. I did not win, but my phone
rang. I always have the volume turned up so I can hear it anywhere
in the house. Well, the whole group could hear it and I rifled
through my purse trying to find it. When I saw that it was my dad, I
ran outside to answer it. He wanted to know what he could buy at the
grocery store for me. I told him the list was at home. Then I went
back and worked on the ornament. But it seemed everyone else was
packing up. Walter did not show up. I hung around for awhile, but
finally went home to call Dad. I also called Walter and set up
another time for tomorrow. Then Chris was on skype so we talked for
a bit. Then I rested and got a new idea about how to compose the
answer to the e-mail. When that was done, and a few more answered as
well, it was time to blog and go to bed.
