A Full Day

This was one of those rare days when I needed to have my alarm set. Fortunately, I woke up about 15 minutes before it was scheduled to go off. I hate being awaken by an alarm. It makes me want to throw things. But only after hitting the snooze a minimum of three times.

So my day began at 8:15. The cats looked at me as if to say, “Why in the world are you up? Are we going to the vet again?”

We had a 10:00 appointment with a kitchen contractor to go over his proposal. When I asked him if things were slow, he said, “No, they are stagnant.” From 1999 to 2006 they were constantly busy and doing really well.

I looked at his face and saw the worry there. We talked about small businesses going under, primarily, because banks pulled their lines of credit. Without them they could not meet payroll or pay their suppliers.

At 1:00 WOW met for our monthly lunch and writing. It was an odd session. Normally, we are all high energy and loathed to leave after the allotted four hours. When the hostess asked if we wanted to write or have dessert first. I asked when we were going to nap. Easy seconded the idea and Lake allowed as how she wouldn’t mind a nap either.

Due to her cat allergies, Opal left about an hour early. The rest of us chatted for a bit; tried to identify a flowering plant of Xena’s; and decided that we really didn’t have the energy to respond to a second writing prompt. Maybe the continued heat was a factor.

Around five the temperature dropped. As I write this, my Sweetie and I are sitting in our screen house, listening to Tish Hinojosa. Time to play Racko!
