I slept so well last night that I could hardly believe it. I guess taking care of Cora was either so relaxing that it helped me sleep well, or so challenging that I slept the sleep of exhaustion. LOL.
Not much went on today. DeAnn and I had spoken of getting together, but my cell phone fell out of my pocket at Jack's house and I didn't realize it. I looked all over my room and tried to call several times. but I heard nothing. Then they called and said they had found it this morning. It speaks to how tired I was last night. Usually I check to make sure it is in my pocket before I leave.
Jack and Caleb brought it back this afternoon.
Mom went to church this morning, and while she was gone, I had a hot, relaxing bath. I brought my clothes upstairs and changed in the spare room afterwards. Mom made spaghetti for lunch. It was okay. Not as good as mine, but good enough. I was going to make spaghetti yesterday, but I didn't get it done.
DeAnn had tried to call twice while my phone was at Jack's, and then she gave up. I called her when I got my phone back but it was already after 3 pm, too late for us to get together and do anything. She had homework to do, and it was gloomy and crappy outside. We set a date for brunch next Friday. That will be good. I like going out for breakfast.
So, I didn't get out of the house again today. Tomorrow Mom goes to help LaVonna can pears. I could slip off to Owatonna while she is gone, but I will be taking her into Albert Lea Tuesday, so it's kind of pointless to go off tomorrow. I need to think about what I need anyhow. Plus, I haven't accomplished any of my own stuff for the last two days. I need to just work on a few of my own issues tomorrow. I might run down to Lerbergs for a box of crackers to stow in my room for nights like tonight when there is no supper. I managed by eating spoonfuls of peanut butter out of the jar with a plastic spoon. I really wish there was a place for my little fridge. Of course, it is too late for that anyhow as I gave it to Shane. Sigh.
One of the things that Cora said to me yesterday was "You have too much stuff." She is only seven and doesn't realize my situation, but she is certainly quoting either my mother or hers. It may be a lot of stuff for one room, but it is all I have left from a two story house! I don't think I have excessive possessions right now.
This afternoon I did a little research on line and lifted a variety of pictures from a Tammy collector's site. She had pictures of a lot of the outfits IDEAL had marketed for the Tammy family. I thought I might print them off and try to duplicate some of them. I don't know why I am suddenly enamoured of this doll family. Probably because they are so different from everything else I have and they look so scruffy and neglected. I had seriously thought of getting rid of them before, but Tammy is my childhood doll, and the poor thing has had no other of her kind for too many years. There are only five of them. I think it is reasonable to keep them.
Later I went up with my sewing box and sat in the recliner upstairs. Mom had the gas fireplace going and it was very cozy. I sewed for a while, but I came to the point where I needed to do the facing, and I had forgotten the fabric for that downstairs. So, I laid back in the recliner and had a little snooze. Mom was watching football, and I hate football. When I woke up, football was over, and she was sort of watching the Emmys which I also hate. She was bored with it, so she turned on Auction Hunters, which we both enjoy. There was an episode on tonight that I had never seen before--they found a bumper car in one of the storage lockers. It was pretty cool--from the early 1950s.
That's about it for me today. Tomorrow I want to clean the cat area and make sure they have plenty of food and water. Then I will probably scrub up the Tammy doll family and remove their clothing for repair and laundering. I have a couple of bags of stuff to be filed. I have to fill out my unemployment claim for this week. I need to try again to get ahold of Greg Klevos, and I have to contact Amy to tell her to get the mail. I also need to get the ball rolling in having all the bills put into THEIR name. I worry about this situation.
I don't know why my life has to be so fucking hard. I wish I could just go into suspended animation until my four years to Rule of 90 is up. Of course, my cats would have to go in with me because I wouldn't want to abandon them for four years.
It's been in the 50s for the last couple of days, and it feels like winter is coming quickly. It is already the middle of September which is quite a shock. I'm tired, so I guess I will try to go to sleep now.
