The Hunger Games made me do it
Oct. 20th, 2010 10:25 pmI forgot to go to biology class last night. Der. I took a break on the waterfront at Pt . Isabel in Richmond yesterday around 5 PM to read a chapter in The Hunger Games, just to get started. Ha! An hour and a half later, the sun was making it impossible to read, so I headed home, and picked up a furnace filter on the way. My sister coated the house with dust by turning on the heat last weekend. That's not the way to do it! When I got home, I vacuumed the air vents, changed the filter, and ran it to blow out any left over dust. By the time I remembered class, it had been going on for 2 hours. I could have run over the hill to catch the last hour of class, but did not. I went back to the book instead, and was up until 2 AM reading. Finished it this morning.
The demand for Catching Fire is down, and I might have been able to get it via library reserve mid-Nov. but that's too long. Used copies of CF and Mockingjay are on their way to me. Yay!
I was in the East Bay so Lisa, Linda, and I could lunch with S, who temped at MTC about 15 years ago, It took me A YEAR to arrange it. First, I had to find S's email address. S had to go to Locke to get a craft item from her friend for me. Finding a date was ridic. Then it took an extra hour to get together, because Linda didn't follow directions, went to the wrong place, her car died, and she turned off her cell phone after making a few "help!" calls. @@. I found her, pushed her car out of the middle of the road with the help of two Samaritans, and took her back after lunch so she could pbone for a tow. At least the 3 of us are retired, and S is a consultant who sets her own hours. But, it was fun, and finally, I will be able to mail a thank you present to someone for something that happened LAST YEAR.
The College of Marin pool is gross. I've gotten a cold, an ear infection, and now a skin infection from the water. Damn. It's a lovely pool except not entirely clean. I'll be writing a letter about that. We did swim sprints today. Wow, was it tiring, and wow, I am so much stronger a swimmer than I was a few months ago. Umm, swimming. I love being in water!
