Went to Manahawkin this morning to run a lot of errands, and stopped into K-Mart to check my e-mail. Got a message from Alison saying Mike has finished with my computer and she'll come tomorrow late afternoon to re-install it--happy day! I'll see if she'll stay for dinner, too.
Other than that, not much going on except domestic chores. Dropped some stuff off at the thrift store, but they wouldn't take the humongus bag of hangers in my truck. (Took the bag from Aunt Claire's, not realizing what was in it.)
It's warm and looks like rain, but that's okay. Must ask Alison how to get to Ong's Hat, which is where the hike on Monday next is.
In Ellen's regular Sunday night call, she said Mike had contacted her to ask if she'll let him store some things in the garage in her new townhouse. When he and Paula are out there, they'll go through it to see what they want, but they probably won't want to keep anything except a few items of sentimental interest. Ellen can have anything else and she knows that, among other things, there's a full dining room set. She may decide to replace her own with that, but maybe not. Mike's company has paid for the storage for the last ten years, but must have some kind of time limit (one would think!) and it's coming up. He'll have the stuff transported the 500 or so miles to Ellen's. I assume that Mike will arrange to discard the other stuff because, although Ellen will have a 2-car garage, she'll just have moved in and will probably have a lot of boxes, etc. in there herself.
Am going to lunch with Barb D. tomorrow, which will be a nice excursion.

Try taking the hangers to a dry cleaner. They should want them.

Good idea, Anon! However, only a few are wire ones; most are plastic-covered (I took the satin ones), but I'll see if they want to separate them out.

TUESDAY

I started off the morning with some annoying problems with Amazon Japan re Christmas gifts, but I don't want to go into detail.  Left at...
