I was having weird dreams before I woke up: someone had published a book, which involved floor plans, but they had plagiarized some of the material and bad things were happening. Also involved was sea travel...

I can't decide whether I am a high-energy person or stressed. I wake up and jump out of bed like there was something I had to do right away.

Yesterday I went to a presentation about swine flu (which has very little to do with swine and is a lot like any other flu). Soap and water kills the virus, which is surrounded/protected by a layer of fat. Don't get within 6 feet of anyone who is coughing or sneezing and is infected--or kiss them or shake hands. The best thing I learned is why flu is worse in winter. Part of it is that people are together more often, which I knew. But viruses live longer at cold temperatures. They die quickly in sun or heat.

Sadly, the Board is not going to be much help in getting things done. They have full-time jobs and are not volunteers (except to sit in meetings). They have not yet advertised for a new director, but will not be using a recruiter--it costs too much.

I went to a Community Center meeting last night; there were only 3 of us. John G. is still hopeful that construction will start before Christmas.
