Yesterday I managed to get my Spark People workout in before we left. It was bitter cold out, but we still walked (carefully) to the mailbox. No paper--they have been delivering it later in the day when it is safer to drive. I drove from Ray's office to the library, where I worked on an entry for NPR's three-minute fiction. Not sure it is any good, but I was typing away and sniffling (it made me cry). At 12:30, I drove to the Georgia Center and had lunch with Ray, Muhterem and John. The food wasn't very good and I keep forgetting that I want to order from the place where they put the food on real plates, not styrofoam. The dining room was closed and we ate in the cafeteria. John and Ray were joking and bantering back and forth, and I had trouble talking to Muhterem across them. She needs people to speak clearly and slowly so she can understand. She is going home on Wednesday. I can't believe it has been nearly 6 months she she came! I had so many plans for taking her places and letting people get to know her. And now it is too late.

When I got back to the library, I had trouble concentrating. People were talking--on their cell phones, for one thing. It appears the library is a place for homeless people to hang out on a cold day, which is fine, but they still need to be quiet. I will choose a different part of the library next time.

Picked Ray up at 3:30 and we got a couple things at Earth Fare and stopped at the bank. At home, I made supper while he worked. Built up the fire and closed all the shades.

Choir rehearsal had been rescheduled from Wednesday--still icy driving, but now there are more people on the road. It was good to be with our friends and sing. Drove home, watched a little TV, fell asleep before 9, so naturally woke up before 5. I like falling asleep and I like waking up, just need to shift my schedule a little.
