I went to the library when Ray went to work. Thursdays he doesn't go in as early. He wasn't feeling very good, coming down with a cold. I read for class for an hour and a half or so. He picked me back up and we met Hunaid for lunch. The plan was to go to the board office and change Elisa's address. We had a great lunch, by the way. We were a little late and he had time to run over to the office without us. They said I need to go to Clarke Central's counseling office with my proof of address and a letter from AFS stating that Alisa will live with us.

We went home and spent some of the afternoon working to clear things out of Molli's room so Elisa will be comfortable there. Ray had to prepare a financial report for the Clarke County Democratic Committee and go to their meeting at 6. I had prepared a rice and sweet potato salad in the morning for the Kenney Ridge potluck. The sweet potatoes my Dad had harvested were largely rotten and it was a lot of work to peel and cut up 2 1/2 cups of them--a lot more went in the compost bin.

A volunteer from AFS, Joerg, was coming to visit and inspect us and make sure it would be okay for Elisa to stay here, at 8 pm. He thought it was ridiculous after all the hosting we have done, although I suppose we could have let things go since then. The good thing is it was an incentive for me to vacuum the house. So now it is nice and clean, with the bed made up and ready as soon as we get the official OK from AFS. Hunaid and Kavita are renting out part of their house next weekend for homecoming for $400, so they want her moved before then, which should not be a problem.

We had a pleasant chat with Joerg and watched a little TV and went to bed at a reasonable hour. Ray does not have to teach today and is still asleep at 7:45. I slept about 8 hours myself.
