Finally a little cooler. I had to have a quilt on my bed last night--and the windows are closed so it won't be too cold in the house!

Tuesday mornings Ray has a 9:30 class, so we left pretty early. I went to the hospital after I dropped him off to spend time with Janna, while her mother is dying of kidney failure and dehydration. She is receiving oxygen and minimal medication to keep her comfortable, no treatment. She is not in a coma, but sometimes stirs and mutters. She doesn't open her eyes and we can't tell if she knows Janna is there, but she talks to her and strokes her head. She is in the palliative care unit and there is a private room next door for the family. Janna can work some on her computer and there is a mini-fridge and microwave so she can eat. Dani came from Wisconsin yesterday.

At 11, I had my haircut with Nathan. It was a real pleasure to watch him work, making sure every strand of hair was even and smooth. Then I met Becky for lunch. The food at Panera is fine, but not extraordinary. I had soup and salad and a little baguette. The company was good, though. I spent a few minutes at Goodwill, killing time before my job interview. I had it in my head it was at 2, but my calendar said 2:30. I went at 2 just in case. I introduced myself and said, I'm early. I sat in the waiting room for a while. The people were very nice. They are looking for a part-time bookkeeper/receptionist, splitting a job that had been full-time into two part-time jobs. It would be a very nice atmosphere to work in and allow me lots of time for other pursuits. They will decide in a week or so.

Then I picked Ray up at Hendershot's and we went home. My Dad was just arriving as well. He worked in the garden for a while, since the weather was so nice and the rain had loosened up the soil. He weeded some and got a spot ready to plant some beans, even though I said I thought it was too late. 

We had an early supper of asparagus risotto (the asparagus from the grocery store). I invited him to join us, but he went home for his routine drink and snack and TV. We headed to a waltz lesson, which was enjoyable. We stopped for frozen yogurt afterward. This morning, my shoulder is especially achy, from the dance lesson and the cooler weather, maybe.

TV and early to bed. Ray read a little to me from Cluny Brown.
