Xmas Wreaths

First thing I did today was to go over to the offices of the home health-care service that I work for as a nurse's aide to supplement my massage income. I rubbed the backs of the office staff and schmoozed, and came away with a few more hours.

My anatomy class had a midterm today -- I think I did all right, though I confess that those various electrolytes are still giving me trouble.

Back at home, I went out with Kathe and delivered wreaths. Lots of wreaths. The Willamette Valley Community School (the headline of this post is a link) made a bunch of money off wreath sales, just like last year. A disturbing sign, though, is how many people who'd bought three or four wreaths last year bought just one. I fear the economy is not warming up as promised.

I'm trying to lose weight at present, and hadn't had much to eat all day. By the time we got home after allthat wreathing, my blood sugar must have been in a deplorable state. I know I was in a deplorable mood. But, a little barley and turkey soup and some bread and I was ready to face a massage appointment.

It was my only appointment of the day -- which of course is why I have to do CNA work, also, and why I'm trying to get into nursing school.

So it was that I didn't manage to haul myself up here to the lookout until after 11PM, even though I'd really wanted to do some computer stuff earlier.

A long day, and a little bit trying, but I'll live. I'm tough. :-)
