Worked some more on the budget at Meredith's request. Looked for grant contracts for 2009 for the auditor. Had a great lunch at Last Resort with Becky. Hot tea for a rainy day--Earl Grey decaf! yay! Chicken tortilla salad and split a piece of Italian cream cake.

Felt sleepy after lunch with not much work to do. M. and M. were planning how to set up the registration Thursday night.

Picked up Ray, dropped Muhterem at a travel agent. She wants to go on a trip to the Amazon with one of her daughters. Bought gas.

It wasn't rainy any more, so I let the chickens out and watched them for a while. Every now and then I had to shoo them off the steps. Eventually I put them away and made a very mediocre supper. It was pasta with broccoli and cherry tomatoes. I didn't have enough broccoli and I only had a few cherry tomatoes. The broccoli didn't get cooked enough and we used whole wheat penne. So it was a bit dry and healthy-tasting. Captain had made chicken soup, so I had a little of that for appetizer. And later some apple crisp with ice cream.

In between, I went to a Community Center Committee meeting. The building is dried in, the electricity and plumbing have been installed. It has an extra electric connection in the attic, near the roof, in the event we can afford to install solar panels at a later date. It looks beautiful, lots of south-facing windows.

Fell asleep watching TV and slept a lot. Now, here comes the sun!
