Charmion, I don't have asthma, so I'm sure what I had a couple of weeks ago is only a wisp of what you experience. Even with extra naps and drinking lots of liquid there are still a few days when your brain is fuzzy and it's hard to get things done. Take care of yourself!

I think the job of selecting Art Thieme's computer is finished. I had a couple of late donations come in and they put us into the next level of machines and I found one that is perfect! I've listed it in that thread to see what people think.

This morning the cheerful men from the Salvation Army happily carried off the queen-sized mattress from my hall. I can't sleep on it any more, but for someone who doesn't have a mattress at all, it will be a help. I also gave them a printer and an old but good office chair. They wouldn't take the 36" cathode ray tube television, I'll have to get that to the Goodwill where they still take and sell them. It works fine - if I sent along one of the converter boxes there is no guarantee it would be used with this television, but someone would certainly snatch it up. I could probably sell the box on eBay so I'll hold onto it, or at least research it first. This is a year when the more donations I can make the better as far as my income tax. It looks like I'll be doing an every-other-year process with donations lowering my taxes.

It's sunny and very cold out today. Not freezing, but humid and in the low-40s. I hope the afternoon will give me some quality time in the yard since I took a vacation day today.
