Good morning everyone,
I had a busy day yesterday. It was quilting day but I elected not to sew because of my sore thumb. Hauling my machine and my tools, fabric, etc., was just too much. I did stop by to say hello. A new person stopped by and indicated that she wants to learn to quilt. She's young and we need some "young blood" in our group!

I awoke very early yesterday, and I don't know why. It gave me a lot of time to get things done, however, I don't want to make a habit of being awake THAT early! First I worked on some sewing that I'm doing for Sweetie. Then, I started sealing the grout on the new tile floors. I am not sure there isn't an easier way than the one I'm using, but we'll see how this goes. I started in a smaller area.

YD went to work! Praise the Lord. She will be working less than full time, but I'm sure her hours will increase as the year draws to a close. She is to be trained as the Asst. Mgr of the clothing store where she is working.

V stayed with me yesterday afternoon-- she had a sore throat, so she wasn't in school, but had no fever. If no fever this morning she will go to school. She was bored here since I had loads of things to do. After Sweetie got home we played a short game of Attack Uno and she had a great time.

Yesterday morning, around 6 am, I turned on the TV to get the news and weather. Alas, no cable. That means no TV as we do not have any type of antenna necessary to pick up signals.
I reported the outage and was assured that workers would be on the job around 7 am. I checked back with the TV off and on during the day, but the cable still wasn't on. Oh, well, I was busy so I went about my chores. I missed it, however. I missed keeping up with the news. I missed the sound because it provides a bit of company to me during the day. Last night Sweetie both read after dinner, but I missed hearing the news. Now it is another day and the cable is still out. This has made me realize that I have developed a habit of TV watching/listening. Sometimes, when I'm busy, I listen to what is on instead of watching. Funny, when we camp I don't miss the TV at all. Never think of it. But here in my house I do expect it to tell me things -- to inform and entertain me. It has become my daily companion.
Where you live, do you listen/watch the TV during the day? Please share with me.
