15: Progress is our Most Important Product Thursday, November 15, 2012



A grinning Geezer.


We stay up past ten some nights. I have been sleeping in because of this trying for eight hours. I’m so very slow and sleepy as a result. For a while there, I too didn’t feel well…allergies perhaps. More sleep seems to help. In fact, all of life seems to be a trade-off these days. Today, instead of going to the pool, I slept in then went to work.

Tomorrow I’m going in very early to help price a whole house that arrived today. Yes, whole house. The biggest things were left out in the shop, and tomorrow the Christmas Boutique goes out after 3pm. Christmas trees will be fighting for space with the organ, sofa, tables, and many chairs. There were foour boxes of cook books to gladden my heart to.

To clear out the store before the holiday event, everything was half price today. We were very busy in the morning. Not a lot of books left the shelves though. Later tomorrow, after three, I will be helping install the Holiday things…after I get the boxes of holiday books out. I’ll get a ride in with a fellow volunteer, and G will pick me up. That’s balance.




  • Keeping those on the east coast in my thoughts and donating where it will count.

  • Himself: Worked the whole day; Lunch time he did the laundry; carried up the laundry, cleaned the garage, and took me out to dinner after shopping at the store.

  • Herself: Shopped while I worked. Got two Crate and Barrel nesting tables….one red, a Chinese horse, a clear glass salad bowl, and turquoise linen placemats. Half price. You are welcome. I did forget to pick up his meds tho.

  • Reading: Beginning a reread of the Panama Canal book.

  • Balance: Not reading and seeing better.





G looks quite happy today! Brilliant smile!
Love the things you bought today. Fun stuff! I can't get my head around the fact that we will have to start preparing for Xmas. Where did the time go? [the_mysticalmuse]

holey cow! you just posted this and 4 notes already! cookbooks~ NUM NOM NOM~  [oulin] 11/15/2012 10:35:30 AM
I love cookbooks, they are a way of eating with my eyes only foods I would never make and most likely shouldn't eat.
A whole house sounds like a whole lotta sorting. Good luck.
Thanks for all your kind notes-they help. [zipster]

Wonderful signs of improvement for G! I read cookbooks too, just for fun. [lelis] 11/15/2012 11:52:50 AM
I always enjoy seeing the newly done up Christmas Store. It's like coming downstairs Christmas Morning. [Jeanne] 11/15/2012 1:06:44 PM
I'm glad G is improving. [The Rickster] 11/15/2012 1:59:01 PM
When we signed in at the Comfort Inn at Williams, AZ I mentioned to the desk clerk that the town had already decorated their central trees with Christmas lights. She said that because the Grand Canyon Ry. was having the Polar Express train rides for the next several weekends the town cooperated and everyone on main street put up their Christmas decorations. There was even a gold Christmas tree there on the check-in desk. Pretty soon, they'll be advertising Christmas well before the 4th of July. Not good... [Tehachap] 11/15/2012 2:40:58 PM
A whole house?! Wow! Enjoy the treasure trove of books you have to sort - I'm sure you will.
It's great to read that G is so much better. [Arbi]

Sleeping more is not a bad thing. Stress of G being ill-- it does have an effect on you you know... Rest, relax, enjoy the activities with books and other things you have scheduled.... [seedys] 11/15/2012 8:32:15 PM
Sleep is the best medicine. So glad G is getting better. [gel] 11/15/2012 10:53:48 PM
G is back to normal AND MORE! "Youth" matters! [TickTockTickTock] 11/17/2012 10:18:56 AM
