Didn't get anything planted yesterday. It was supposed to rain (which, unless it was really heavy, would actually HELP in the planting), but I went upstairs after breakfast and got lost in 1980 through 1994. Made use of some of the new binders (thanks, Maggie!!!) to relieve the crowding, put accumulated ephemera in place (working on emptying the holding file box), and went through a few years noting events on pages in the calendar at the front, so I have a digital record of what's in the binder and thus can easier find a date when it's needed. When I finally surfaced, it was four o'clock...

Right now I'm typing up those notes, incorporating them into the calendar files and adding my reading list for the year, too. I've kept annual reading lists since November 1, 1972.

I worked on the calendar for 1993 before breakfast, now I'm finishing up 1994.

Since it's my birthday, we're going to Newick's on Great Bay for my ten bucks off later. Bet they still won't have any rubber squid in their gift shop... I'll pick up a B.D. cake on the way home...plus flowers "from" Tom and a couple tins of smoked oysters also "from" Tom. It really upsets him that he can't shop and choose gifts for me anymore. He can't even see well enough to do it online.

I should go outside and plant something...
