December 1 wow! November went fast. It was busy and so is December.

Yesterday was pretty quiet at the Shelter. I worked some more on the November reimbursements, until Meredith asked me to send thank yous to people who bought things ta the auction. This is very complicated. You can only deduct the difference between what you paid and what the item you bought was worth (assuming you paid more than it was worth, which is rare). We (the Shelter) must send you a notice thanking you for your donation if that is the case, and if it was more than $75. There are actually no donors that qualify, as far as I can see, but some things are hard to put a value on (a signed poster by Widespread Panic). However, you can send letters to everyone, if you have values and can figure out which items they bought. The information I have is not complete, but I have some I can send.

I had a quick lunch at Wendy's when I went to the bank. At 3:30 I picked up Ray and we went to Kroger to get gift cards and a couple items. Then we went to vote in the run-off and home. It was very dark and rainy all day, but got over 70. It felt like tornado weather and there were thunderstorms in the evening. I was tired from not sleeping enough (and not getting enough exercise lately?), so didn't feel like cooking much. It would have been good to have an oven; I'm getting pretty grumpy about that. I chatted with Molli & amelia on line for a while, planning the engagement party, which was fun. We ate turkey soup the Captain had made and homemade bread from the freezer, as well as fruit salad he had made, watched TV and went to bed pretty early. No reading for me.
