Lovely and cool here yesterday. Since I spent some time shopping for the Shelter on Sunday, I went in a couple hours late. Got to walk the dogs in the light and have breakfast with my parents. Ray and I played racquetball at Ramsey. I couldn't believe I was so groggy. I really had no energy at all. We used to play in the morning all the time, but now I am used to the afternoons.

Funny thing, when I got to the Shelter, everybody had been so worried about me because I wasn't there at 8. (even though I had talked about it with Meredith on Friday). Next time, I will call to check in. It was kind of nice to know they missed me.

Saved a few hundred dollars by shopping around for a new maintenance contract for our copy machine and researched companies that provide payroll services. It would cost us something, but it would ensure that we never had to pay penalties and late fees for taxes.

Had a late and good lunch by myself at Big City Bread.

Left at 3 and ran a couple errands with Ray, ending with picking up some carrot seeds at Cofer. Captain was in the garden planting things and planting them immediately. The chickens were happily roaming around close to home. Spent about an hour outside enjoying the day. Our sweet potatoes appear to have been harvested by a critter--maybe a vole. So sad.

Made supper, but had to rush off to rehearsal downtown at the Morton. Parked ad waited an hour reading my iPhone and watching 20 little girls on stage, to get my blocking for one 5-minute scene. Oh, well.

After that, TV and ice cream and bed.
