Tuesday

Well, I wasn't as sleepy as I was on Monday afternoon today. Maybe I got this Daylight Savings curse conquered. Then again, since I fell asleep before 10:00, maybe not...

I went to the library after work to replenish my books (I finished the last old one Monday night) so I didn't get home until almost 6:00 PM. When I did, I had an unusual message on my machine. It was from Jyl's sister, Judy and just said, "I don't know why I have this number, I found it in my math book and it just says 'John' and this number. But, I have another problem with math and could use your help. Please call."

So, I tried the first of two numbers she gave for a while and it was always busy. So, I tried the second and got her. I explained who I was and how (probably) my name and number got into her math book. You see, the first time they came to my house, Judy was working on a math problem and I tried to help her (I failed, BTW). Luckily, she said she'd solved the problem before I called her back, and I was saved the embarrassment of not being able to help her, again.

Dinner was leftovers (I have a LOT of leftovers) again.

Lu had left an email to call her after 8:00 PM and she could tell me the right glue to use on that broken bowl. So, I did, but just got their recorder and left a message. Then I called my Mom, but only talked briefly as she said she goes to bed at 8:30 PM. She did give me a report on the food I'd brought. She liked the potato soup (take that, Jake!), the stuffed green pepper was good, but too big (neither of them could finish it) and the beef stew she thought had too strong a taste for her. So, I have to rethink this, I guess. Smaller portions, blander tastes.

I started watching TV, but fell asleep before 9:30 PM. So, I missed Luanne's late return call, (she was delivering twin goats back in the barn) but she did leave me a message with the name of the glue. Thanks!
