Dagnab it, I'm sick! I was so looking forward to having all my class work done and being able to do other things, like baking and paying bills. Now my brain is not really up for much of anything. Sore throat, cough, headache. The weather is very pleasant, though, and I am grateful for a lovely place to be while I am sick and people who care about me.

Yesterday, we were awfully close to late taking Ray and Dan in. Ray had trouble sleeping and didn't wake up until 7:30, so it's pretty amazing that he was ready to teach at 9. I went on to the Ramsey Center and dutifully rode my bike for 30 minutes. The machine said it was over 5 miles. It seemed easier than other times--could be I'm getting in shape. Or it could be that bike was set slightly differently than the last one. Took my shower, but I had forgotten to bring soap--gross!

I went to the library and renewed some books and got some more. I even checked out an audiobook to listen to on car trips. I had a lot of trouble trying to pick one my Dad will like as well as me, but eventually I did. There was a child absolutely screaming its head off and I found myself edging into the category of people who find that gets on my nerves.

I met Linda Lloyd at the Economic Justice Coalition and talked with her about volunteering there on Wednesdays. She gave me a packet of information to read and left before I did. I saw Joseph S., who asked after my children. They need help with grant-writing, among other things, and I offered to help.

Ate my lunch, which was potato salad and a yogurt. Went to class with Dr. Poon, a guest lecturer who was in charge of the Georgia Centenarian Study. Several students were absent. Hmm.

Picked up Ray and we stopped at Earth Fare. I felt like I was going to pass out and couldn't make it to potluck, so bought a baguette and some chicken salad. MMM, tasted like ambrosia, and saved my life.

Potluck, choir, Jeopardy, and bed. Slept pretty well in spite of the mask and the cold, with the help of cough syrup. Achy this morning.
