Day 16

Today I am thankful for the internet. It is such a wonderful tool. I can keep up to date on my friends whom I would never have met without it. I can pay bills & monitor bank statements on it.

And, of course, the computer itself is such a wonderful tool. I might have a clean house if I didn't have the computer/internet to distract me. Then again, would I? I'd just pick up a book, LOL.

I spent the afternoon & evening reading an Anne Perry book, "No Graves As Yet." It was moving much too slow, so I had to read ahead. I was disgusted at myself because when I do that, I usually don't finish the book. But ... I was too far into it & the story had split in two. Now, I need to see what happened with Matthew. Urgh

Lent, Day 23

Just another manic Monday. It's almost bedtime. I went to bed last night at 2. I foolishly picked up an Anne Perry book to "look" at. The next time I surfaced, it was 1:45 a.m. I woke up at 8. I'm tired, I pulled a 10 hour day today. Just as I was leaving work tonight, before I shut the computer down, I checked the email, don't know if that was a smart idea. Ron Smellie (mortician) had sent a death notice. I saved that page until the very last. I was worried about Junior Miss, so I actually saved Junior Miss, which was on the same document as the obituaries, until last. Got some good corrections from the ladies that do Junior Miss though.

I left a note for Rod & Bob (editors) about the death notice & will try to get in there as close to 9 as I can in the morning to make that change. The kicker on the front page has a picture & page to an article that was pulled.

I told Jim Anderson about the sibling party at Juniper Take Out on the first Saturday in May. He offered their "party" house. I told him to talk to Donna & I'd bring it up with Mother.
