My password problems Saturday morning was because I was punching in two alternate digits instead of the real ones. I really hadn't had enough sleep...

Arrived home late afternoon on Monday and spent yesterday mostly under-reacting. Went to the post-library-sale sale and, well, I took home more books than I had donated, so I guess I lost (but I've got some great reading ahead of me).

Was totally exhausted by the time I got back home. Tried unsuccessfully to nap and, since I couldn't concentrate enough to read, I watched a couple films. Started out with "Robin and Marian" since I'd finished reading James Goldman's screenplay yesterday morning. Hadn't watched the film for decades -- remembered it as a really good film, and it was better than I had remembered it. Then I watched "The Oxford Murders" which I had acquired last week at Goodwill. Another very enjoyable film.

The sun was out when I got up, but by the time my bagel was toasted and tea brewed, it had hidden behind the clouds. I ate breakfast on the deck anyway. There's so much yard work to be done, though, that gazing out on the flower beds just instills guilt. Well, it's win win...I can not only get back in shape (gardening is the best exercise there is!), but I can SEE what I'm accomplishing. Later I went out and worked on the compost pile and raked leaves. Well, not so much raking as transferring the leaf piles to a tarp and dragging them to the compost pile or dumping them over the bank.

Then I did one of the harder things I've had to do lately: rewrite my PMFF bio as a solo performer for the website and send Babs a new photo to use. Actually, I sent her a couple options including one of both Tom and me, but one of the others would probably be more appropriate.

I finally got unpacked this morning, too, and brought in the books from yesterday and the bottles of fizzy water from yesterday's grocery shopping foray. I think I've gotten just about everything on this morning's list accomplished.
