Managed to fill up another day easily with no obligations...reading the Athens newspaper headlines on my computer, I saw there was to be a meetng about the Village, so I determined to attend it. Ray and I came home the long way after walking Elisa to Skipper's. I took my time gettling dressed and headed out.

There is a Jittery Joe's on Atlanta Highway, where a car dealership used to be. It took me a couple tries to find it. There was a small group, one woman I knew and a couple that I did not. No one from the Council on Aging was there. Another woman I knew came. After a while, I went ahead and called Kate L....someone was supposed to be on the way. I was glad to have a chance to meet Kate, a young woman with long dark hair. She was a lobbyist before starting this job, says she loves working with older people and is planning to get an MSW when her husband is done with grad school. I suggested I might intern with her next semester and she seemed excited. They are doing well, with over 100 members, plus volunteers and providers. She is kept pretty busy, so is not sure how she would manage more members, but they need the funding. Each membership is $300 a year, so 100 members is only $30,000--not enough to pay her salary, I would guess, plus the costs of marketing and other overhead.

I went home, we had lunch, we headed out again. Ray had to meet with Linda to transfer the duties of CCDC treasurer. He dropped me at my Dad's and we went to Peach Mac, where I did some shopping. Then he drove me to the grocery store and we both bought some things. He was pretty tired by the time we finished. Then we went to my house, where he started a load of laundry and we talked some.

We spent almost 30 minutes on the phone with AT&T, trying to cancel some service he had accidentally agreed to on his phone. It was very frustrating, but ultimately successful. The initial problem stemmed from the fact that they had the account holder listed as Patty Freeman-Lynde, even though the bill comes to Raymond Freeman-. They would not accept his name or SSN or Patricia and my SSN. In frustration, I asked for a supervisor, who suggested I try a nickname... Even then, she insisted there was no record of any subscriptions to cancel, until she stumbled across the information. In theory, he will not get any more emails offering him products via text message now.

Ray and Elisa came home after 4. I made some cookies. We went to the Fellowship for chili made by the Coming of Age group. The child I am partnered with did not show up, so I helped Marty with the dishes a bit before choir. It was the final rehearsal for our performance of a Charlie Brown Christmas on Sunday. It went pretty well, but another run-through would be good. I am Lucy and have a bunch of lines, which I did not really work on until this week, after my class work was finished.

We stayed up a little later, watching TV until 10:30, but I still woke up before 5, with a bad sci-fi dream. I am getting a cold, too.
