The Book Is Done!

I finished my George Washington Carver book on the day it was due and e-mailed it. Then I still had to make copies of photos I wanted them to use and my sources. That took till 4:00 am, then I had to get up at 7:00 and drive to Chicago. I took my friend, Jan, to visit her daughter. Jan has heart problems and doesn't drive out of town. We had a nice visit, went out to eat a lot, visited the Chicago Botanic Gardens, and saw some of Jan's relatives that I know. We came back Sunday.
The next order of business is writing a proposal for an activity book on pioneers. Actually, it's a 40,000-word book with 21 activities. Activity book sounds like one of those little thin books I used to buy when I was teaching. There will be a lot more to this.
Had to take Oz, my cat, to the vet yesterday. He's been sneezing and spent two days lying in the litterbox. He also has fleas. It's an upper respiratory infection. The vet gave him a shot and some medicine, so I'm risking scratches and puncture wounds twice a day to squirt medicine in his mouth.
I'm also getting ready for a garage sale, which will be a week from tomorrow. Have to take the ad in today. This is a real job. I have innumerable big plastic bins full of stuff I took out of the garage when I had it made into a family room. They've been piled in one room ever since. I'm hoping to either sell, pitch or give away most of it. Good luck. I'm the epitome of procrastinators. I blame my Grandpa Cutler and need to write a piece called "Grandpa Was a Packrat."
Off to work.

Church Today

It was nice to go to church this morning. It's the first time I've been home on Sunday morning since Easter! I told Pete, our pastor, that I think I'm going to be home the next two weekends, too.

I researched several short articles today and wrote one about Memorial Day and submitted it to ezinearticles.com . Didn't realize till after I submitted it that they only approve articles during working hours, so I guess it will get posted after the fact. I'd better get the one about Flag Day done and posted in a more timely manner!
I'm trying to go through all the tubs of stuff I took out of the garage when I made it into a family room. I want to have a garage sale to make money for the West Virginia trip, so I have to have it by the middle of June.
