Somehow I ended up reading until 1:30 in the morning--just not sleepy, I guess, but it was very foolish and I knew I would regret it today.

Yesterday was the big day for classes. It was the first day of Molli's temporary job scoring essays. Elisa had to get herself to her ride, which was not a problem, just a change in procedure. Ray and Molli took a quick walk. I kind of hung around the kitchen, not wanting to leave until Elisa was on her way. Four people had to have breakfast and something to take for lunch. As she left, I dashed upstairs and took a quick bath and dressed. We left the house at 8:10, not as early as we had hoped. Ray had to copy a test for his 9:00 class.

We drove him to his office and then I took Molli where she was going. Then, oddly enough, I went home. I had forgotten a couple little things. This gave me a 15-minute breathing space that felt like a mini-vacation.

I stopped at the credit union on the way to class and was just on time. After that class, I went to Earth Fare and bought some meat and other groceries, which I put in a cooler I had gotten when I went back to the house. Then I met Becky for a quick and pleasant lunch. It is her birthday today, so we had to have a bit of coconut cake...and I was a bit late for that class too.

Three hours later, I picked up Ray and we picked up Elisa and then Molli. We were all home again before 6...and we had a plan for supper. We had taken some chicken tagine from the freezer the day before. Molli made some couscous and some green beans and we had supper 20 minutes later.

After supper, I made bread and we watched TV. Somehow I didn't fall asleep. No walking  yesterday, no wine. It could have been either of those or neither. I read an entire book and still lay in the dark for a while, but finally got 4 or 5 hours of sleep. Not ideal!
