I was really busy yesterday and now I'm tired and don't feel great. Oh, well.
I got up and we ate breakfast (berries and yogurt and homemade toast with peanut butter). I zipped off downtown to help with a run/walk, giving out t-shirts. There were over 300 participants for this inaugural race--run/walk for a better Athens, a group opposing the Wal-Mart that will probably be built near downtown, where the race was. Interestingly enough, the money raised went to Habitat. Not sure what that is about. Maybe the better Athens group isn't a 501(c)3. It was a beautiful morning and I talked to John Kissane, a former neighbor of ours. Also Mike Wooten.
At 10:15, I went to pilates, the first time in a while, at least since I broke my ankle. It was a crowded class, good for her. It was good. I thought, this should be easier, since I have lost weight...but apparently I have more to lose.
Then I went home. I was tired. I thought of stopping at the Farmers' Market, but couldn't imagine what I might need there that I didn't already have.
Ray and I had lunch and gathered things for the memorial service. I packed up some tablecloths and napkins and some extra food. I took two batches of mini-quiches from the freezer and one of little rolls. At the Fellowship, Ray worked on sound while I stayed in the kitchen. There wasn't that much to do--put tablecloths on, arrange the chairs, accept food from people and thank them. Deb P. helped a lot, arranging fruit, etc. I baked my rolls and mini-quiches and we listened to the service. They had set up a feed into the fellowship hall, with a projection. About 20 late-comers sat in there with us and we could see and hear it all. It was a great service, but it ran over an hour and a half. We had all the food set out by 4:30 and we rearranged the chairs and set up a couple round tables. The people streamed in and we re-filled the food as needed.
Then Ray and I slipped away and went to eat at Janna's. She had made a cold soup: avocado-vichysoisse and salad nicoise. All good. I ate too much and too fast. We had brought a few of the mini-quiches and rolls and some blackberries.
We had to rush off to pick up the tickets to sell. When we got to the Classic Center, the guard could not find them. After about 20 minutes, I called the theater and someone answered the phone! They had gotten all the tickets for the weekend on Friday. We enjoyed the play very much, but it was long. Saw Harriet and showed her pictures from the wedding. Got home late.
