Today was a helping day. It started with getting up and helping hubby get ready and off to work. I took him in so I could run to the attorney's place and drop off the paperwork for the Big B. We have court on the 23rd to go in and see the Big B trustee to say Yes, these are our debts, and Yes, we cannot pay for them and whatever else they want to know.
So I went over the paperwork with the receptionist and then said a quick Hi! to the attorney. Then I was off. I still had over an hour before I was to be at Holly's house so I popped down the street into the Goodwill. I was just looking around, wanted to see if they had any different shaped cup cake pans but no, only the standard kind. So I went to look at the books and found a Debbie Macomber book I hadn't read that was about Christmas so I bought it for 99 cents. $1.06 with tax.
I stopped at Kum & Go to get a drink and then headed over to Holly's. Holly and I haven't gotten together to crochet in quite a while so it was nice to start doing it again. I have been working on a design for a stole and using some of my regular yarn to make it while I am working the bugs out of it. I need to write down what I have done so far so I can write up a pattern and then have Holly follow the instructions and see if she can do it too. Make sure the pattern makes sense, then see about doing the pattern in Judithmary's yarn for her. She wants this thick royal purple yarn and then wants the stole trimmed in red. That part of the pattern I will figure out after I finish the main body of it.
After I was done with Holly, I had to come home for a couple of hours and charge my phone. My battery will only hold a charge for about half a day. And my charger will only work in certain angles or positions. And I haven't been able to get a full charge on my phone, the charger cable kept shifting. Today I couldn't get it to work so I finally put the charger and the phone in the bathroom on the counter, trying to find a position that the cord could stay in and I got part of a charge, enough for me to use the phone to call my mom and chat. I would call Cassie and talk to her but she has been calling and chatting with me on Mondays and Wednesday after she is done coaching at the gym, she calls me on her way home and I "keep her company" until she is in the house.
I left my phone charging and went over to Pat's house. Pat is a Queen of a Red Hat chapter that is different from the chapter I belong to, The Ladies of the Red and Purple Cloth. Anyway, Pat is moving out of her long time home and I promised to help her hold an Estate Sale. So we went through the house and looked at all the piles of stuff she has. Her house is small and she has a lot of stuff, I'm not sure how we are going to get everything out. We looked at a calender and decided on the two weekends in March to hold the sale and I told her I would look into setting up a square account so she could take credit cards and cash. Hubby might let me borrow the IPad from his work. If not, we should be able to use my phone to charge cards.
I finished with Pat and went back to see hubby at work, then he took his lunch and drove me home. We decided on this late car switch so I could go home and roast a chicken to have it ready for when he came home for dinner. Problem I found at 6pm, is even though the chicken had been in the fridge since Saturday, it was still frozen in its core, so no chicken tonight. And hubby showed up at home at 630pm instead of 730pm so I offered to make french toast, but when I grabbed the eggs out, we only had 3 eggs and that wouldn't work to make enough french toast for both of us. So we decided not to eat. I wasn't hungry and hubby was going to fix a tv dinner later in the evening. He went to his office for a bit and I fed the beasties. Then we both went upstairs to rest, relax, and watch tv together.
Tomorrow the chicken will be defrosted enough to cook and I will be at home all day. So I get to sleep in but still get up and get dressed. I will be able to start working on Cassie's bouquet. I am feeling strong and able to work on it now.
