Thursday, June 4, 2020 (Day 80)
After a couple of months of having minimal contact with anyone there were three online meetings scheduled for today. Two of them overlapped so I had to choose the one I thought most important. They both were to aid me with my Hall work but one of them allowed me to get a recording of the event so I let that one slide and Zoomed into the other one. This was a workshop that was supposed to have happened during a full day of training before the pandemic shut everything down. The presenters have broken the topics down to four different morning meetings. The meeting was informative but from the pre-reading and videos I watched before the meeting I’m not sure I learned anything. More meetings to come in the following weeks; no doubt I’ll get some ideas but whether or not I’ll follow through on them is uncertain.
It was a quilting friend’s birthday today so I drove by her house to drop off this card. Not only is she a quilter but she also plays piano and is learning guitar. I remembered from looking through my book that one of the blocks involved musical notes – I had no idea that the name for the block would be so appropriate. We had a nice chat on her doorstep.
I picked up another book at the library today; again I had no idea what I would find in my bag. I looked on Goodreads and the books were both added to my “To Read” list a year ago so it is no wonder I don’t remember. I guess they must have been popular and it took this long for my name to come to the top of the list, or maybe I didn’t order them right away.
I was able to stop at the bank with my deposit today and I dropped a couple of bins at the recycle depot. The bottle depot still had a full parking lot so I didn’t stop. Yesterday on Facebook I offered all my paper grocery bags (and I had a lot of them) to anyone who wanted them. I had a good response and the woman who took them picked them up first thing this morning. I didn’t have room to store any more of them and it is nice to know there are a couple of places who can take the next batch off my hands.
Tonight I have a Zoom meeting for 100+ Women Who Care. I’m not sure how the voting will work but I learned a lot of technical things about Zoom this morning so hopefully I will be able to keep up.
