Monday, Oct. 4

Only slept about four hours last night, but despite that we were up at 6:30, so I could get ready to go to water aerobics. I really considered not going this morning, in favor of curling up and going back to sleep.

The weather being so cool this morning didn't help me want to get out of the house. But I did, anyway, and was glad I did. The pool was bath water warm and felt so good. Wish I didn't have to miss Wednesday's and Friday's sessions, but I've committed to other activities for those days.

Back home, after lunch, Hubbie and I ran errands...to a grocery store to get you-know-what, to the bank, to another grocery store for a free dozen eggs and other items, to the Extension Services office to sign a form declaring our scrapbook club a non-discriminating organization, and to the WDCS.

Shortly after we got back home, Hubbie left again to meet a dental appointment. He'd gotten a call this morning that his hygienist was now available, and there was an opening. His appointment was for 3 p.m.

While we were running errands, Mother washed a bunch of sweet potatoes for the oven. They are small potatoes, and we each ate a couple of them for supper, with apple/onion pork chops, and a choice of butter beans or Lima beans.

Afterward, we peeled the rest of the potatoes and put them in bags for the freezer. Mother went home afterward, and Hubbie and I settled in front of TV. Soon Hubbie was dozing through the evening news. During the weather segment, I heard that frost is predicted for some counties of the state, including ours. I alerted Hubbie, and he hurried out to cover the potted plants not yet ready to be brought back into the sun room.

While he was outside, the carpenter who is to repair the roof on the sun room called to say it would be Wednesday before he could come. He was supposed to be here this morning, and we wondered what had happened to him. He explained that his crew went deer hunting without giving him notice they would not be at work today. His reason for not being here is understandable, but why didn't he call sometime during the day to tell us?

Spent the evening watching favorite shows, including a couple of episodes of "Lark Rise to Candleford," and "Dancing Wth the Stars."
