i went to new jack's house for coffee this morning
i brought some orange-glazed sweetrolls faith had made with me
i was there for over an hour
good coffee and good conversation
when i got home the water guy had already been there and he took our 4 empties and left to full ones in the hall closet
i changed the overhead lightbulb in the bathroom
took me freaking forever
standing on a chair with my balance is no fun at all
neither is un-screwing and re-screwing tiny bolts with a hand that won't stop shaking
my hands don't normally shake
only when i'm doing something that requires a steady hand
like turning a page
or screwing in a lightbulb
for the rest of the morning skippy and i just hung out in the recliner
one of my favorite pastimes
oh
and faith actually let skippy sleep with us last night
he was good
he stayed down by our feet
at 10 till noon i got up and made lentil soup for our lunch
faith got home about noon15 and we ate
she served it
i was back in the recliner with skippy
faith took skippy for a short walk to get him to poop and then we left (with skippy) and drove to the somonauk library
which is where i'm updating this blog from
we have to leave by 2:40
we're in separate cars
she has to go pick up jordan at school
and i have to go play chess in the library at dummer
when i leave there at 4 i have to go to work
i won't get to eat again till i get home at 9:15
not a good time to be eating
oh
the chess lesson at woodbury yesterday afternoon went well
nathon and corbin played each other again
and brandon and i played
oh
well
God bless

signing off
bye for now
