Yesterday was a day!  First, I helped my sister and her daughter put up light on the front porch of their house.  That took about three or so hours.  I hope to take a picture when it's darker.  They're simple, but look really nice.  Then my sister and I went shopping at Costco.  That took about an hour.  It was kind of crowded, but we got through it.

Then, in the evening, I went to my friend pug's house because Theater Artists Olympia will be doing a night of unusual holiday readings.  Here's the artwork:

And here's the description:

As early as the 1600s, there has been an English tradition of gathering together and telling scary stories during Yuletide. (The most famous of those being of course, Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol). Inspiring the folk from Theater Artists Olympia to gather on a long winter's eve and share an assortment of tales in that tradition, come and spend some time with TAO and some of Olympia's finest actors for an untraditional tradition.

We read through some suggested stories and agreed on about an hour's worth, but we still need another half hour to make a full evening (with an intermission).  This will be happening on December 19th, so there's time for us to meet again and read through some more. :)

I did not sleep well; the room was too warm and I was too restless. The cats behaved. When the alarm rang, I literally dragged myself out of bed, thought, WTF? and went back for another hour.

Yesterday, I had a good morning, a nice FaceTime visit with my friend in Ohio, and then the afternoon went to hell. Around 3:30 I was violently ill. This was followed by about ninety minutes of cleanup. I then spent a good hour trying to reschedule my two appointments to next week and cancel today's Access-a-Ride. The cats usually get their treat between 4:30-5:30. I think I gave it to them, especially to Thatch's dismay, around 6:30.

I am really not happy with next week's appointments, so I may try another scheduling today.
