This was not a fun day but it certainly felt like a Monday. As I was heading out the door to work in the yard, I wondered if it was too early in my job to call in sick. I was weeding in the lavender and the roses – nice smell of lavender but prickly thorns on the roses. I have a few scratches but I’ll live. Not long ago (two weeks in fact) I wouldn’t have said mowing the lawn and boulevard were a welcome break from anything, but it was a nice change of pace from being on my hands and knees pulling weeds. When that was done I couldn’t believe there was still time left in my two hours so it was back to weeding.
After the laundry was done and hung to dry I headed out to run some errands. As I was stopped at a light I realized I had forgotten my Venture One card for mailing my parcel. I decided the bit of money I would save didn’t matter so continued on. I was just parking the car at the Post Office when I realized I had put my wallet in my Cranberry Hall bag last night so there was no way I could do anything until I turned around and went back home. With both my card and my wallet in hand I headed back out. After the post office I stood in a long line at the Credit Union to make a deposit; it seems to me that they are busier now than they were when I was making the Guild deposits. After that it was a quick stop at the Library and then home.
When I finally came upstairs I put away some embroidery threads from my last project and got out another of my works-in-progress. It is a Canada 150 theme so I better get at it. The good news is that I guess Canada 150 actually lasts from this July to next July – lots of time for the four Canada-themed projects I have in mind! When at last I thought I could get at some sewing and packing for tomorrow I realized that with another Cranberry Hall meeting on Wednesday I had to get last night’s minutes prepared and circulated. The regular secretary was ill and couldn’t come to the meeting so I offered to fill in; sadly our regular secretary has resigned from the Board so in the meantime I am Acting Secretary. None of the new Board members seemed keen to take it on.
I’m packed and ready to go for tomorrow. With what is left of the afternoon I’ll see if I can clear off my cutting table so that some real progress can take place the next time I actually have some time up here.
