hmm, how quickly I have lost the habit of daily posts!!

Let's see, Tuesday we left early because it is Mom's yoga day and Ray and I dropped her off at 8 after a breakfast of oatmeal and trying to make sure we have everything we need for raquetball, which we played. Then I went to the Land Trust and made myself useful, getting a printer to work with a computer and printing off some mailing labels. They had all left the office by about 11 to go watch the inauguration, so I did likewise, heading home to watch with my parents. Had Usinger's hot dogs in front of the TV. Pretty moving stuff--people as far as you could see. Although they looked like pretty cold people, and I didn't really wish I was standing there for hours with all of them. I thought everything was done well and now I am waiting to see if he can really change things and how quickly.

Tuesday afternoon I realized I had to do my assignment for class...and I had to sit in front of the computer from 5 to 7:45! This would definitely interfere with any other plans I might have, like making and eating dinner or going to join the inaugural celebrations downtown. In fact, about 4 I submitted my (inadequate) assignment and drove quickly to Ray 's office to pick him up, hoping I would be back by 5. I was here by 5:15, but I had cleverly signed in to the virtual classroom before I left, so it looked like I was the first one there! I had some audio problems, so missed about 45 minutes of class, which I will recapture from the archive soon.

Yesterday I also volunteered at ALT, for several hours, mailing postcards and calling people signed up for the housing counseling class. Last night was potluck and choir rehearsal--fun!
