Strange Day At The Library

I'm at the library because my Broad Band no longer gets a signal. And I'm absolutely surrounded by the crazies. Every computer has people at it who are seeminly unaware that others are trying to concentrate. They are chatting it up, yelling across the room, jostling my chair. I don't know if I'm ever going to get used to living here.

My most current ex-friend is a Christian who just can't seem to stop trying to convert me. The last straw was when she invited me to her church for Easter Sunday. There will be no way to avoid her. They go to the same archery events as we do. And there are only so many archery events and we vend at them. She knows how I feel. I've told her many a time. But she can't seem to drop it.

While at the library I was trying to see why I didn't get a check from Hubpages this month. I thought for sure I'd get one. Well, I didn't make the $50 minimum. I made $45 and some change. I really needed that money. Unless something changes, this month is really going to suck financially.

Moving On


Halfway point

Empty finally, after 3 trips.
In an effort to save money (and who doesn't want to do that), we finally got everything out of a storage unit that has been stuck there for 16 years because we've had no where else to put it. I finally found my Gocco Printer, my manual typewriter, my upright loom and my collection of rubber stamps. I found things that made me sad, like all the stuff from my office in San Luis Obispo, CA before my divorce. I found things that made me happy, like the first stuffed elephant I ever crocheted, which I made for my new baby in 1982, which I can now wash and fluff up and re-gift to my grandson. Just in time too, because he will soon have a baby sister, and I don't want him to feel left out when the new baby gets all the attention. But after two days of driving to Orange County and back from the Mojave desert, I am happy to be home again. What a long day!
