Yup, I'm really sick. I guess I am grateful I managed to not get sick the last few times. And it's only a cold. But I hate when my brain doesn't work and I can't do things. Fortunately, I don't have anything going on this weekend and I can look forward to doing nothing. I had hoped to do some Christmas shopping, but that is a want not a need.

Yesterday 2000 postcards were there and needed to be labeled and mailed. I had one volunteer show up pretty early in the day. Taylor helped, in fact, I put him in charge, more or less. He did keep his iPod (or whatever it is) plugged into his ear...The biggest help came from my parents, although I was worried when they were about an hour late. They got lost... The three of us went to lunch and were finished by 2 ish. Another volunteer showed up just about then. Taylor took them to the post office, but he had to come back to get a check. Since it was over $200, it needed two signatures. Kerri had gone home, since she hadn't slept or eaten since turning in her comps that morning. Fortunately, a board member who works up the street ran over and signed it. The Captain took Vanessa home and then he and I were planning to attend a community garden meeting. Well, I was about 20 minutes late and he was nowhere to be found. Turned out, he had come and gone. Parking was a few blocks away and he decided just to go home. Too bad, I probably wouldn't have gone if I had known he wasn't going to be there. Lots of good things happening, but I came on home. I even called and told Zuhair I wasn't coming to Arabic class.
