Logistics note: The date up there is the date I wrote this, usually very early in the morning (it's not 6 yet today). It's almost always ABOUT the day before.

Yesterday was a Thursday. I was really looking forward to getting a lot done. That isn't usually the way things work out.

The phone rang at 7 am. It was Skipper; Valley was sick and they were not going to school. It was too late to call the bus and ask them to come get Elisa, not to mention too late to get Elisa up and on the bus. Ray was up and he came up with a plan. He got dressed and ready to go by the time she was. After he dropped her at school, he went to the car dealership and had the oil changed.

Meanwhile, it was quiet early in the day and I got some reading done for my GRNT class. It was somewhat depressing, about ageism. It was amazing, though. The phone kept ringing and things kept happening. I never had time to get bored with my reading. Molli came by a little before 10 and spent a few minutes getting papers together. She met with Sky at 10 to do her back taxes for 2009. I started some bread.

Ray came home. My Dad called. Molli came back. We took a walk. I let the chickens out. I cut down the rest of the asparagus stalks and did a little weeding. Conditions were good. It was in the 60s and overcast. The soil was soft, making it easy to pull up weeds. We ate lunch. I worked on the puzzle. Ray washed some lettuce and left for Geology.

Molli kept working. I made avocado salad dressing. My Dad called. Molli left. Ray and Elisa came home. We went to Kenney Ridge potluck with our salad. I played with Solomon and Adah. There was a meeting and I said I will not be on the board next year.

I came home and watched some Wheel of Fortune and Big Bang Theory. I read Janet Evanovich. I slept until 4:15.
