Although it was sunny, it was pretty cool and the garden was still very wet and muddy from the rain. We had 2 1/2 inches! So, no gardening. We walked to Nancy's and checked on her chickens--another 6 eggs, but then, she has 10 chickens. I got a call from her later in the day, thanking me for taking care of everything while they were gone. I expected them back Friday, so maybe they came back early.

After we came back, I took a little break and spent some time on the computer. When I had screwed up my energy, I finished washing the walls in the blue room with TSP solution and then started rinsing them after a lunch break. Then it was time to go to a meeting. We didn't leave as early as we wanted, allowing for time at the grocery store, so I was a little late. It was one of the better housing committee meetings, focusing more on rental than home ownership for a change, and I felt like we actually got something done. Joe G. was there from the ASPIRE clinic and everyone was really excited about it. He did not mention a new coordinator and I am not sure he recognized me. I was a little sad, thinking about what could have been--that I would have been an excellent bridge between the community represented at the meeting and the academic one. But I was good; I demonstrated what they had missed, in a small way, by being knowledgeable. For all I know, he supported my candidacy, but it was not up to him.

Came home, popped previously thawed macaroni and cheese into the oven, strolled around admiring the plants. Went to potluck and choir, came home and watched TV and went to bed about 10:30. Some people had been talking about how much they liked Modern Family, so we watched some of that, but didn't love it.
