Skunk Outside my Bedroom Equals Exhaustion
Sunday was both a Beautiful and a Challenging day.
Did I mention that on Carnivale morning, as I was going out the door, I saw I had a text message from the cottage tenant. I checked it to discover that once again the cottage heater would not light properly. So I called my plumber friend who was able to come down soon and look at it. I put a couple of oil based heaters outside, carrying one to her porch. Neither of them left me a message that day to tell me what had happened, but I assumed my plumber friend got the pilot lit, and she had heat.
I have many times over told her not to text me with problems, but to call my home phone. Her texting me about a plumbing problem cost me an extra $50 in a water bill because a pipe had broken and I didn’t see the text until I was far from the house. And my plumber friend also was at another job for few more hours. That also meant water was running under the cottage in the winter. No telling what type of damage that could cause. That was months ago, and I had thought I had been really clear with her about how to communicate with me about issues she experienced that needed quick attention.
So Sunday morning, I slept in a little bit, but not too late. Was happy that my leg and knee were feeling close to normal after all the dancing and “hiking” I had done the last couple of days.
What gets me up is the incredible frosty scene outside. I take a few photos in my bathrobe, then go in and start my morning.
I ventured out into the street to get a picture of Red Mountain covered in Frost. Beautiful, but very chilly!
When I was dressed, the frosty scene drew me out to take more photos. I thought I would just go up to the Catholic Church, but went a bit farther. And once again my fingers were frozen by the time I got back to the house. But so much beauty, I just enjoyed this very unusual scene. If I hadn’t been so tired, I probably would have ventured further up the street and hills, but just couldn’t do it.
A bit later, I look out to see if the frost is still on the trees, and I see a note on my mailbox. I discover my cottage tenant isn’t going to renew her lease. She left this month’s rent in a small piece of paper with a note on it saying she hadn’t seen a new lease, and needed to make some changes in her life. One of which was moving, not renewing her lease. I had put a new lease in her mailbox at least a week ago. Not sure how she didn’t see it.
The person who fixed her heater called and asked if I could pay him that day. Not a problem. Then he explained what he had done. Since he had just replaced the thermocouple not too long ago, he was mystified as to why there was still a problem, but could see some angle and air problem. So if the pilot went out again, I was looking at a $200+ part and about 2 hours labor. He had done all he could to fix the problem he saw, so we both hoped the pilot would stay lit the rest of the winter
I put up a listing on Craig’s List for the cottage, but somehow transposed the number for the rent with a much smaller amount. Then I copied and pasted that listing into a couple of emails. I had spent much time trying to find a picture of the cottage that I knew existed, but it wasn’t labeled in any way I could find, so just used a couple of exterior images of the driveway and shared grill and picnic area.
After doing my posts for the two blogs I went to bed, very tired.
When I laid down in bed, something was haunting me. And I got back up and saw what I had done. That meant redoing the emails, looking silly to lots of people, but what else could I do. First I fixed the post on Craig’s List. Then in the morning I .
The next morning, there were quite a few responses to the wrong amount posting – it was quite a deal for a cottage rental. I emailed them all with the new price and suggested they look at the updated listing. Then, wrote that if they were still interested to send me another email.
I had gone out first thing and taken a photo of the cottage to add to the Craig’s List post and wrote a bit more information about the location and revised some of what I wrote so it looked like a new and different cottage listing.
Some folks did respond that they were still interested. So I had to get my tenant to tell me what day I could start showing it. Which will be tomorrow after my hearing health appointment.
But the worst part of Sunday was what woke me up just after I had gotten up and then back to bed really late, say 1:30 in the morning. I did easily fall asleep, but just about 2am, I woke with my eyes watering and panicked. My first thought was I have close the window, and started to jump out of bed. But realized it was winter, and no window was open.
Then I tried to figure out how my bedroom could smell as if a skunk was walking through it. I mean the smell was that strong!
There is no where else in the house I can sleep. So I sprayed some lavender essential oil around the room and put many drops on a piece of cotton. Pulled the covers over my head and tried to get some sleep. By then I had a headache and took another Percogesic and slept fitfully until morning, when I gave up and got up. I brought a diffuser into the room and diffused Young Living’s Purification blend and that did help get the scent out of the bedroom.
And I have come to the conclusion that I can’t post every day. Just too much time to do that. And I need to write other things. So if I get a post every other day on both sites, that will be my new goal.
And in my next post, I will talk a bit about the Commonwheel meeting on Monday and how this day went being at an unusual level of exhaustion, still got many things accomplished.
The Day After Manitou Springs Carnivale Parade
Manitou Springs Carnivale was the second coldest.
After a 50 degree sunny day on Friday, we awoke to snow, fog and very cold weather for Carnivale.
But that didn’t keep the fans from lining up for the Gumbo Cook Off Tastings.
And many fun people showed up to be in the parade.
Too much preparation happens to not show up!
FantaFaces masks showed up on a few faces. Kelly Snyder and her husband Mayor Mark Snyder wore theirs despite the snowy weather.
And my neighbor Sara with a hoop was talking to a man wearing one also.
My fingers were frozen by the end of taking pictures of the parade!
I mean, really frozen, they hurt when I tried to warm them up at the house.
But I went back out after they were warm, sans camera and danced until about 6:30 pm.
Councilwoman Coreen Toll and her husband Shanti came for the parade and then I caught up with them at the Townhouse Lounge. When that band took a break we went to the Keg where we danced to Arch Hooks. Great music was playing all over town.
Later, I ran into Sara and the masked man at Swirl while eating gumbo. I told him I had made his mask. He asked my my name, and I told him Julia. He took off the mask to confirm I was telling the truth, as I sign them, and yes, Julia was the signature.
I stopped at Commonwheel for a “pit stop” and looked to see if any had sold recently. A couple had sold the day before and 4 on Carnivale day. Glad to see that! When I left Commonwheel, Sara & the masked man were on the sidewalk and they grabbed me as I got to them. Walking in a threesome, went back to the Townhouse for a couple more dances. I ran into a couple of other friends. Chatted during the band’s break, but I needed to go home and get off my feet.
I came home very tired. Laid down and couldn’t get back up. Luckily I had eaten gumbo a couple of places, so wasn’t starving.
But that is why there was no post yesterday.
The Day Before Manitou Springs Carnivale 2014
I am not as on track in my world as I usually am.
I thought I was arriving for a meeting early, and I was actually late. Not sure how I twisted the time from 10 am to 10:30 after looking at the calendar last night. Luckily the ladies are very forgiving. I regaled them with stories about the flooding last year, the relocation of the Art Festival and what our plans are for this year.
I had left my power cord for the Festival MAC at Commonwheel last night. When I picked that up I learned I had sold a mask, one that I easily repeat and make the best money from selling. So when I got back from my meeting grabbed the one that was on Etsy, put some empty boxes with peanuts and newspapers in the car and gave myself permission to drive back to Commonwheel to put that in there. Roger who is very tall, had found one of my pins on top of my display that I couldn’t see and had thought was lost/stolen last year. Bonus.
Being mocked by a Raven sitting in glowing silver branches yesterday came to mind as I worked through my many tasks. He seemed to be laughing at me as I hurried through the park taking photos and accessing the possible new layout idea.
I got lots of tasks done relating to the 40th Year Celebration with Old Spokes in the Gallery. That felt good. Some people actually have sent photos and one bio! Hope more show up over the weekend. And many confirmed that had been not responding or on the fence.
And I got www.sharinginnerhealth.com website filled in with 4 pages for the classes she is teaching herself with a partner and at the School of Inner Health that she has sold to a couple of people. That really felt good! Hope they all like what I did. And I discovered an error on a brochure they are sending out. Emailed them that it needs fixing.
Should I go and dance at Stargazers to Tribe for an hour? I do deserve the dancing time. It is always fun to wear a Fantafaces mask to get others in the mood to come play at Carnivale in Manitou Springs that takes place tomorrow. So seems like a good idea. Just for one set . . .
Productive Day on the Computer But No Sales Day
I worked at the Commonwheel Artists Gallery all day.
I prefer to do one long day a month rather than two half days.
Although I got a lot of computer work done, very few people came into the Gallery, and no one bought anything!!!
That is not a normal day for me.
I easily engage people in conversation, and usually someone in their group will purchase something before leaving. But not today.
I don’t think I had 30 people come in, so I guess the odds were not with me. Though one of the couples from Michigan left saying they had to think about a couple of things thye liked, and they were here until Sunday. So they may be back to buy when I am not working.
When I asked one group of three if they were visiting and they said yes, I asked if they were from Michigan. I had had 3 other sets of visitors from Michigan, so was just joking around. Except they said yes, how did I know? Just a wild guess, I replied, as 3 other groups that were here earlier were from Michigan.
I did get a couple to sign up for our email newsletter. Plus some local people who had brought visitors said that they will be sure to come for the 40th Anniversary Gallery show and wanted to know where the Art Festival will be held. One couple told me that enjoyed the park where it had moved to last year, so that was a nice thing to hear, as it will be there again..
So got lots of work done for that gallery show and some Festival tasks completed.
I had started the day by finding the hanging signs that have pictures of artists in the shop that hadn’t been hung back up since Holiday Market went up. The hooks were challenging to get onto the proper hooks, as a rope lighting had been hung using these hooks also. But I got all three hanging up and an new FantaFaces Mask picture inviting people to come buy a mask for Manitou Springs Carnivale.
Plus the shared jewelry case looked really naked with the jewelry just on the wooden bottom. I found some tiles and got them to fit well enough to give a bit more interest to the case and added a couple of my feather pendants to give it some variation from the metal work that was placed there by other jewelers.
So I put some time into making the Gallery look better, which felt good and productive.
And my friend who is helping with the advertising stopped by with her delightful mother who is getting ready to move here. We had a lovely conversation. When she moves here, my friend and I will make a date to play Rummikub some future evenings. I actually have that game and used to play it with my parents all the time.
Came home and all I wanted to do was have popcorn for dinner and watch Survivor’s first episode that was 2 hours long. That show is my “guilty pleasure” that I share with a couple of friends. We always have a dinner together and watch the final episode.
The “Last Call” email I sent out to Old Spokes is getting lots of response. I guess setting a really short deadline helped.
Plus some folks who are showing that responded to a different email replied that they could help by offering to bring food to the opening night and another offered to help proof the information I will be putting into the Scrapbook.
Getting me a bit more excited now.
Two Urban Hikes Today One About Faith
I hiked over to the new home for Transition Town Manitou Springs with my Greek hiking friend.
It is all about having faith.
They are working on buying a half acre lot with a historic Victorian home on it that is in the flood path.
The bridge was destroyed and water got very close to the house, but didn’t damage it too much. The owner is aging and ready to downsize. And just getting the yard looking decent would take more energy than a single young person would have.
Transition Town Manitou Springs wants to make this an example of many ways to work with the environment, mitigate flooding, grow food and raise chickens.They are working on a rent-to-own plan so they can demonstrate that their business plan is solid and have finances in place to buy it as soon as possible.
This picture shows where the bridge used to be. They are not sure if they are rebuilding one, or working with the Bottling Plant to use their access. I can hardly wait to have a greener photo after they have put in some garden areas and plants begin to grow here.
My friend who just sold her school will be having her private practice here. Sharing Inner Health will offer Craniosacral and Lymphatic Therapies. She and her partner will also teach classes demonstrating Raindrop Technique with Essential Oils.
This hike gave me a chance to get a photo to put on her brand new web site.
And although it was the second mini-hike of the day, it also was very healing to remind me how others are not allowing the flooding of our town stop them from making progress in their business goals and dreams.
In the parking lot of the brick building, which is a Bottling Plant that bottles Manitou Springs Mineral water and only sells it to Japan was a strong reminder of the flooding.
And behind the building was a stack of sandbags in ready for the next flooding.
This right next to Transition Town’s new home.
The creek bed is much different than it was a year ago before the flooding.
And this is after some debris has moved down the creek. But the creek sides are much higher than before.
Gotta have Faith!
Feeling a bit Squirrelly on this Grey Day
The morning was sunny, but the predicted storm clouds arrived on the wind as the day wore on.
I wasn’t really feeling on track having not come to terms with having a new health challenge.
These little guys sitting in the tree outside my window did make me smile.
I had many phone calls to make relating to getting appointments to find out just how challenging this new health challenge really is. And what it will cost me to do all the scans and get the reports. The phone rang just as I was getting dressed, and that was the first of many calls I would get from the Hospital to set up the appointments. Everyone was very helpful and I can sort of afford it.
Just when I thought I was feeling more financially comfortable, this comes up. Though I am grateful I have the Peak Vista coverage and can just about afford this without having to make payments.
And then I received a call to set the appointment for having a free Mammogram appointment this month.
I also needed to set-up a meeting at The Fields Park for the Commonwheel Art Festival to discuss placement of the new electrical resource with the concept of moving the Music to the other end of the Park. He called me back and will meet with him tomorrow.
My neighbor had me come look at the renovation project she is doing. She wants to be able to run a drain along my stone wall to get water away from the back of the small cottage right next to my property line. I think it will be fine. And with the new guttering and new roof on that cottage, there will be less rain and snow hitting the side of my house that has been damaged by too much moisture hitting it and staying there during the winter.
Then she told me of the raccoon that had torn off some of her new roofing and was hibernating in the attic. He won’t come out, so drastic measures will be taken soon. How he figured out he could get in there is a mystery to me. He just tore a bit of roofing off where two gables met and is now snug as a bug in a rug with all the new insulation in the attic.
As we chatted the wind came up and the air started feeling very chilly. Time to get back inside.
My tenant had paid her rent, so I drove to the bank. Then I had a wild desire to have a cooked chicken and some different veggies and fruits and maybe Ginger Ale for lunch. I hadn’t gotten around to eating at my normal time and it was getting on towards 3pm, so I was hungry. Not my usual way of approaching grocery shopping, but didn’t get too off track. In fact, stayed pretty much with good food that will be comforting to have the next few days.
Tony Laidig had a guest for his Expert Media Show tonight. Daniel Hall, who did a really great training for doing audio books. Would love to take this course, but not sure with the health tests and the timing if I can afford it. May ask a friend if she would be interested in learning it with me and collaborating on some projects, and paying half the fee. Have to think about that overnight.
I had good news that the at risk boys that help with the heavy listing at the Art Festival can be there even if we have a beer garden. Yippee!
Taxes still not totally done, but have all the info I need to put the numbers into the report for my accountant and set an appointment to discuss some of the items I am unsure of where they belong. Always a fun process with the number of businesses I have.
It is always eye-opening to see how much I spend compared to how much I bring in. Too many programs and classes that I haven’t fully used this year. Though I will grant myself the fact that the flooding of Manitou Springs that closed Commonwheel’s Gallery and filled that basement with mud and water twice, plus having to relocate the Art Festival played into making it difficult for me to concentrate on my businesses. And then the exhaustion factor that set in after the intense 3 weeks related to relocating the Art Festival didn’t help either.
I still have lots to do for the Gallery show I am curating in April and a couple of web site clients that need some work done. Tomorrow will be a busy day on the computer for sure.
I will think hard about the audio book course and maybe get inspired for getting more written about essential oils. I do have that book that would work well as an audio book, and could build on that easily.
March is still looking good for getting back into the groove of writing as I get caught up with my other tasks and put my taxes behind me.
Health Challenges Heading My Way Again
Not ready to hear the possibility of my body having a health challenge again.
But at both of the exams I had in the last few days, the doctors were concerned about a lump in my abdomen. And want me to get an ultrasound.
Have no idea what that will cost. Just when I was beginning to feel some breathing space financially.
I have ignored and lived with known fibroids for over 15 years without experiencing more than just a little discomfort. But this seems to be something new and it seems to be worrisome to the doctors that examined me. So I will make the call and find out the cost and go from there tomorrow.
I had a hard time getting to the health care office today. Maybe I was more than stalling, but not wanting to have this exam with its challenging outcome. I went to where I thought I had been directed on the phone. Didn’t see the name of the clinic. Asked a woman wearing a tag that looked official standing outside the complex of medical offices.. She told me I was at the wrong building and directed me a few blocks away. I hurried to my car and drove there. When I was called to the desk, she looked up my name and told me I was at the wrong clinic. The one I was suppose to be at was back where I had been, but around the corner. She called them to tell them I was on my way and not to worry about being a few minutes late. I hate being late! But there was nothing to do but get back in my car and find another parking place and check in at the right Women’s Health Clinic.
For all that stressing, my blood pressure was low, my norm and my heart rate was fine. All good news. Then there was the exam that revealed the new lump in my body. Not so fine.
After the last surgery I had that was a minor surgery that left me with a major complication that I deal with daily, I am not dealing well with the thought I might have to have another surgery. I guess I will just see what I learn in the next few weeks.
Had to leave a webinar with Tony Laidig after about 20 minutes to get to my Board Meeting. Will do the replay as quickly as possible to not get behind in trainings.
On my way to the Board meeting at the MAC, I stopped at the Commonwheel and was greeted with my favorite words. “I am so glad to see you, I am having a bit of trouble.” This one was easy to resolve. A new person learning about closing the Gallery and had a few questions. Nothing that couldn’t easily be resolved.
As I continued on my walk to the MAC for the Board meeting, one of the Board members called and told me we meeting in a different building than the email had said. Four of us got there, arranged the tables to work better. As it got later, no one else showed up. She had gotten the building number confused and everyone was at the neighboring building. A call from the President got us moving in the right direction.
Had a productive meeting. And enjoyed my half mile walk home.
Grabbed a quick snacky meal so I wouldn’t wake up hungry in the middle of the night and writing my blogs.
Got a bit distracted and went on Facebook for a few minutes. Found some very fun and beautiful art postings. Even was inspired to share a few.
Now off to the hiking blog.
Then early to bed and doing a MAP coning to surround myself with healing entities.
Closing in on Gathering all the Info Needed for My 2013 Taxes
It was really hard to stay focused and inside today when the day turned out to be sunny and very warm.
But I behaved myself with the promise of when this is finished, I will be more free to enjoy my hikes without the worry of unfinished business hanging over my head.
Basically I spent the afternoon gathering more of the information and papers needed to get my taxes to my accountant.
Luckily I was smart last year and didn’t do too many cash sales. That is always a fun piece to put together from tiny receipts. Since most places are glad to take a credit or debit card, I can keep my records in my Quicken program and pull the information from there..
The most complicated part is gathering mileage information and putting each trip I took into the proper business.
With Commonwheel’s Art Festival having come so close to being in the red this year, I didn’t take any compensation from my trips relating to it. Instead, I will just use the mileage as a deduction this year. May actually work to my favor. Will be interesting to see how that does work.
And since the flooding caused us to hold meetings where I couldn’t walk to them, I had to drive to them. Plus I had to relocate the festival which meant I had to measure the park and meet with city officials more times and places that caused me to drive much more than normal. More deductions.
Then there are my books . . . CreateSpace . . . Kindle . . . and ones I sell in person. Gathering that information isn’t as easy as I wish it could be. But I do believe I have it in a format that I can clearly show how many were sold and where.
My Young Living Oils “business” also is complicated to figure out. I use most of the oils I buy for my own health needs. But I do sell some, but don’t make much on each sale. Then I get some “rewards” and not sure how to figure those into the mix. This is one of the reasons I am glad I do hire an accountant who has done my complicated taxes for many years and knows how to handle such tricky questions.
Then there is my home where I have two business offices and my personal office desk in one room, an art studio upstairs, a roommate and an upstairs tenant. Plus the cottage tenant. Figuring out the percentages of utilities and internet and repairs is just beyond what I want to learn how to do. She also keeps up with the latest changes in the tax laws, something I have no interest in learning about either.
My excel files where I break all this down are close to ready for me to do the written report for her to work from. But I did some things I have questions about how to handle. So I will make an appointment and chat with her to be a bit clearer about what I did right last year, and what I need to do differently this year to make it all clearer and fit in the proper business accounts better.
Would be nice to have fewer businesses for reporting, but they all are connected to my various passions, or affording my home.
I started my day out by taking photos of the masks I made yesterday to put on Etsy. It was cloudy when I got up, which is perfect photo light. But by the time I got dressed and got my outdoor photo studio set up, the sun came out. There was still a corner of my porch that worked, but I had to work quickly to get good shots.
First I take pictures of them laying flat, then play with them on a black head.
I take pictures from different angles to give them more character and help potential clients see how they will look when worn.
Next, I need to do some cleanup work in PhotoShop. I like a smoother background than the one I have in my studio, and fuzzy bits of feathers and dust need to be removed for a cleaner look. It is quicker to clean them up in PhotoShop than constantly do that in my outdoor studio. Plus when dealing with even a slight bit of wind, some feathers move into the eye area or around the nose in a way that just isn’t how I want them to look. I do trim some with a scissors before taking the pictures, but wind plays with them in ways I don’t want to spend hours rearranging them when it is easier and faster to unfuzz them on the computer.
Plus they are on a white stand that I like to remove and just have the neck showing without a strange collar below.
I am considering hiring a friend to clean up and paint an old door that is on the porch. He could do it faster than I could. Painting is just not one of my talents, even flat surfaces can challenge me in ways I don’t want to struggle with right now. I would have him paint one side an off white and not sure if I would do black or a different color on the other side. The flat mask photos are done on a black background, but using this black face, that doesn’t work for the head shots.
But other times when I am photographing items that will be used in a book, a black background might work best. I have used green, tan and grey backdrops, so need to think that through to have the best option for the most photos I will be taking in the future. And what color would be the easiest to remove so I can just have the item in the photo stand alone to be placed in front of a totally different background, like a mountain?
Ended the day before I started blogging with a call the the person I am working on to get an updated version of the Structured Water book. What a wonderfully upbeat gentleman. Once again had me feeling inspired and uplifted by the end of the conversation. I am so ready to get back to writing my own books, and working on his next project that sounds very interesting.
He is connected to many groups that are working towards ways to heal our planet and bring together like-hearted people to create abundance not just financially, but spiritually. Can hardly wait to meet him and his friend Genii in person in Sedona some day in the not too distant future.
Taxes Are so Complicated and My Filing System is a Mess
By the time my taxes are filled, my office files will be in much better order.
That is a goal so I won’t have so much trouble in the coming years when preparing my tax information. And some information that I need to have easy access to in case I need to go through an evacuation in the future will be filed so I can easily grab it. Or put in a waterproof container . . .
There are so many parts of my office that need help right now. The Commonwheel Art Festival office side is a mess! The items I use for taking photos of my FantaFaces and Trust items are piled in an area that has other things I need access to at times. And all my Public Domain books, Young Living files and fun ideas for children’s books are mixed into an area that also has Trust items.Then there is the scanner I bought and haven’t opened or tried to use . . .
Gads, what a crazy place I work in.
Luckily I do work well surrounded by chaos and rarely can’t put my hands on something I need for the project I am working one. Still, will be good to do a few more 4 hours of time focused on getting these areas a bit more orderly.
Need to get a clear email written to my Coach about what I want help with for the last four calls. I am sure he is frustrated that we hadn’t finished this last year. But flooding in Manitou Springs, hacked web sites, relocating an Art Festival in less than 3 weeks, a bit of ill health and just life has made it difficult for me to get to a place that it would be worth the cost I paid for the Coaching to do it sooner. By the end of February, I should be at a place that I can define what I need and have the calls focus on those areas.
Connected with one of the people I am working on a book with by email. He is extremely busy on really good projects. And I had misinterpreted what he was aiming for in restructuring the one book. But all easily fixed. With luck, he will call me tomorrow and we can get it sorted out by talking rather than emails. And he has another project coming up that I could help with, so that would be good to talk about in person, not just emails.
Got 3 new FantaFaces masks made tonight for Etsy. I also set up four with Ostrich Plumes to feather later this week. Then I discovered the missing ones. Too bad I made another Rose colored one before finding the two Rose ones that were hiding from me. And they were attached to the same mask board that the blue one I couldn’t find was tied. I guess there was a reason the person who ordered the blue one was suppose to get the more expensive one with the Macaw feathers for the price of the blue one with Ringneck Pheasant tails.
Yes, my studio needs some attention also to get squared away. Though this is the first time I couldn’t find something I needed there . . . Weird.
Had a fun time last night dancing to Tiny Barge and the Big Chill at Stargazers in Colorado Springs. Had wanted to go dance to Arch Hooks at the Townhouse in Manitou Springs, but just don’t have the energy to finish my blogs, change clothes and walk down there. And my knee is acting a bit painful, so don’t need to stress it with another night of dancing.
And after getting a good, long sleep last night, I think I probably could use another full night sleep tonight to keep me energized and focused on the work I need to do tomorrow.
Though if my friend drops by when the sun is shining and asks me if I want to go for a short walk/hike, I won’t turn her down.
Visits With a Doctor and Friend
Had my Doctor Appointment today.
He ordered a scan of many parts of my body to see what is causing my excruciating back pain that only happens occasionally.
Fasted so I could have blood tests. I am so grateful for my easy to access veins. Almost painless experience.
Over to a friends house to drop off coupons for her.
I had Pretzel Rolls, she served me soup to break the fast.
Home and did some computer work to close a Yahoo! account for a client.
Now need to hurry to eat and go dancing at Stargazers to Tiny and the Big Chill.
