When I called Moreen yesterday to cancel the walk we had planned for this afternoon I told her I had so much work to do that I was going to pretend I was on Texada; I wasn’t going to go out or answer the phone.

Pat left for Texada on the early morning ferry. I told him I was screening calls but I would answer if he called. My plan was to stay at home and work on his manuscript. I’m halfway through and I’m so ready to be finished (as is he).

One call came in shortly after Pat left. It was Safeway but I didn’t answer it; I figured they’d leave a message if it was urgent. Then, not five minutes later, before he had even boarded the ferry, Pat called with just a small errand he needed done. To be honest he said he could do it next week when he came home but I knew he was only calling because he wanted me to do it.

While I was out I got my copying done at Staples and picked up a couple of bins (for Texada) that were on sale at Canadian Tire. I’ve spent the rest of the day reading (and correcting) but now I’m done for the day.

I have some knitting to do this evening; I am so close to adding another colour onto the shawl I’m making and I can’t wait to see how it looks. I also have binding to stitch on a quilt but I don’t think I’ll get at that today.
