FRIDAY

The weight thing: home, I was up .04 to 127.8; at T.O.P.S. up .05 to 128.9. That's by my calculations, but according to weight recorder, Cheryl, I was down .05.--weird, but I don't care. We had our little arts and crafts thing--wish I had taken a picture, as the amount of artifacts Sharon and Bobbi brought was incredible. Anyway, it was fairly enjoyable, although I am not good at handiwork at all.  Here are the two things I made, which I'll probably discard, anyway (or as the illiterate say, "anyways"):

Kindergarten level, but that's about all the artistic talent I have.

Cheryl dropped me off, as ever, but when I got in, I realized I didn't have my purse (I had my keys in my pocket). My phone was in my purse, so I went next door to ask Suzanne to phone Cheryl, who was nice enough to drive over and drop it off.

After all that, I didn't actually eat until 11:00. Spent about an hour after that writing out Christmas cards. I mailed some, but ran out of stamps, so must get to the P.O. Ellen called and suggested we go to Santa Barbara on Saturday, Betty's and my actually birthday, instead of Friday. Fine by me and  I'd just as soon not stay for lunch in S.B. I'll sleep over at El's that night after we have dinner at Sea Fresh; she'll invite Greg, too. 

Lorraine called and went on and on, as she does, complaining about Michelle and the state of the apartment complex. I don't see any big problem with it--guess I'm too absorbed in other things. After talking to her, I didn't eat lunch until 3:00, which is fine by me, as I prefer to eat dinner later than my usual 6:00.

Mike Messaged me to ask is I was available to talk about my new laptop questions in a few hours, as he was walking (it was Saturday for him)., I said sure, and he got to me about 5:30. We were on the phone and the laptop for about an hour. My question wasn't answered, probably because it was just too difficult to do 20,000 miles away, especially when I'm not very adept. Mike suggested I ask Ellen to come over, so she can actually be at the laptop and he can be on Facetime and advise her. Anyway, it isn't a major concern--the laptop still works fine. El later called and suggested Wednesday, which is what we'll do.

Note to self: I got the mercantile license for my house. It was sent by Little Egg electronically and won't allow a copy. That's okay, I just noted it here.
