Yesterday I was not called to sub and I did not have much in the way of obligations: going to the farmers' market, making dinner, maybe some more cookies...T was not expected home until after 5:30. There was a phone call from a prospective employer scheduled for 3, but I needed a little something more to make my day. I checked the church web site (first parish cambridge UU church in Harvard Square) and they were preparing food for their Tuesday night dinners for the hungry, starting at 11. There was also a yoga class at 9:30, but I thought I would probably need a mat for that...and I would have to rush around a little more than I wanted to be there at that time.
I walked with Molli for a ways, then took a different way home, through some back streets, with tall multi-family houses and sidewalks. There were people and cars, but not too many. "I could live here," I thought. I did find myself having to clean up after the dog...with no bag. I'm pretty sure I am not in favor of having a dog in the city...or a cat. Maybe a bird or an aquarium. And plants...I'll need a balcony.
It was over a mile walk and I rested for a while and showered and dressed. A little before 11, I wandered down the street to the church and asked if they needed help. A couple ladies, Jane and Louise, were making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, something I had no trouble helping with. Pam came by and asked who I was..."I didn't know you were coming," she said. Louise was the oldest and most talkative, although I enjoyed them both.
