Monday 10

Monday 10- I did my stretches.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 34 to 51 degrees, winds at 7 to 10 MPH, humidity around 34 percent, mostly clear skies.
According to the National Weather Service: “Monday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 51. North northwest wind between 8 and 11 mph. Monday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 34. North northwest wind between 5 and 8 mph.”
I read chapters of “Without Remorse” by Tom Clancy throughout the day.
I went to our community’s board meeting: Meeting started at 7:10pm. Treasurer Mary Helen Tuttle was absent, probably a first, so there wasn’t a treasurer report. 39 adults and 7 children showed up for our breakfast on the 8th. Marcie Hines announced that the Treasure Room is having a $2 a bag sale on clothes for the next month or so. Membership Committee reports another 10 renewed memberships. USDA Food Distribution had 90 folks showing up; Chris said they’d been more except some didn’t get the word that it was on the 10th. Meeting ended at 7:31pm.
After the meeting I talked with Annelies Kuiper about taking over my newspaper column; something really hard for me to let go of. She said she’d think about it but she seemed really interested. I’ve written over 580 columns for the Hi-Desert Star Newspaper and I think it’s time for me to pass it along to someone else and time for me to begin a new project; like ride off into the sunset on the Harley :)
I talked with Kelly for over an hour; she is feeling better from a bad cold she had caught last week.
For some reason I haven’t been getting enough sleep the last few nights. I don’t know if it’s the weather changing or current events; like the whole Nation I was horrified with what went down in Arizona. Hopefully tonight I’ll get more than 4 hours sleep!
I did my stretches, wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
