I was barely up in time to sign on to our cousins’ chat. A cup of coffee was all I managed after dressing and combing what little hair I have. When the call was over I needed to get a move on to get my parcel ready for today’s mail. I had a box that was the perfect size but it was full of Christmas wrapping paper and all our recycle bins are full. We’ll have extra bins to put to the curb tomorrow. I found a bigger box than I needed but cut it down (not very neatly) and I think it will hold together long enough to get to its destination.

It was almost ten before the package was wrapped and the hockey game was just starting. It was a morning game in the West because it is Martin Luther King Jr. day in the States so an afternoon game on the holiday. Pat drove me to the post office and we were home just a bit after the game started – just as the Canucks were scoring their first goal. They lost in overtime but at least got a point out of the game.

After the game it was time for me to get to the tasks I generally accomplish in the mornings. I sorted the laundry and got a load going. I sewed the binding on the quilt and got it ready to take to the Guild tomorrow. It is the middle of the month so my monthly computer clean-up was due.

I’m done all that now (except for a couple more loads of laundry) so I’m going to relax in my chair and play a few games. This was supposed to be a reading week for me but there was too much to do today – maybe tomorrow!
