Bonjour! I hope I am not getting sick. I am having weird dreams and feel a little odd--congestion, achy...

Yesterday, after I got up so early, I was at the computer for about 45 minutes, and I could not keep my head up or my eyes open. I went back to bed and slept for 2 hours! That is so unusual. I got up, showered and dressed, and Ray made my breakfast and lunch. I was hoping to be on time, but as I went past the school, I saw the policeman who is there every morning with his radar gun and I realized I was speeding. He came after me and gave me a ticket. "Can you tell me why you were going 54 in a 40 mile an hour school zone?" What a dumb question! Because I am a lawbreaker...? Because I was still half asleep? I told him I was later than usual and thought the time was past. "Did you see the flashing yellow lights?" he asked... Needless to say, I was even later. I don't know how much it will cost yet, but school zone tickets are higher, I believe. I have been by him a million times and always slow down, but not yesterday. I vowed to go a different way from now on. If you live near a school, and have to go by every morning, sooner or later, you will probably get caught speeding! So, when you are thinking about buying a house, buy one that is not near a school!

Even so, I was the first one to work and had to relieve the night staff. Nora and Shawn came in right after me. Meredith is starting to come in a little later, 9-5, so she can interact with the night staff more. I started working on the lists of donors and volunteers for the newsletter. I was a little discouraged because we don't have as good records as I would like, but hopeful that will change in a couple weeks, when our new Volunteer Coordinator starts. The printer/copy machine died and I called to have someone come fix it. I went to Lowe's to return a toilet repair part and get another wax seal. I went to the bank.

I went home. It was too hot to work outside. We brought the suitcases up from the basement. We seem to only have the big one, and the handle is broken. But I think we can manage without buying more.

I have not gotten any response from the cleaning lady this week--she likes texting, but has not responded to that. Yesterday I called her and she hasn't called me back yet. I hope she is not seriously ill or something.

Potluck, choir, TV, early bed.
