Sophrona called this morning to say they couldn't come for the piano lesson because they were helping decorate the church for Thomas' reception, Saturday night.
The shoes I had ordered from Maryland Square came today. The wedge heels slipped off the back of my heel so I packaged them back up and got them ready to mail back. The sandals fit, I thought, but when I checked the size, one was a 7 1/2 W and one was a 7 1/2 M. The wide shoe was for my right foot, which is 1/2 size smaller than my left foot. The shoe was a bit too large but I thought it would be okay until I discovered that they were two different sizes. I'll call the place tomorrow and see what they want me to do. I like the sandals but want both shoes to be the same size!
I saw Janet today and we had a good workout. I went to the bank and deposited the check Frank gave me for Mother's day and then stopped by Dr Walker's office to pay a small bill and then to the PO to mail the other shoes back. I came home and we watched Glen Beck on the new Roku.
I called Kari to make a hair appointment but she had taken a few day off to help with Thomas' wedding. It's really too long and doesn't look good. Maybe I'll call back and see if anyone else has an opening and get it cut. Since it's Friday they may be all booked up.

A Little More Able
We went to the pain clinic this morning. We were in an out really quickly and came on home. It was too early to eat out anywhere, plus we couldn't decide on a place to go to.
Frank worked on getting all the newspapers sorted and thrown away and I did the laundry.
I read over the papers I printed from this class I'm taking. It begins May 16th. I had to find out where to go to get the lessons. The things I read plus a little inspiration and I think I know what to do, now. I wish I knew what to expect. I hope I can remember things enough to write them down. Now, my mind is too cluttered and I can't recall much of what happened in the past. It's enough just to live in the present!
Talked to Trudy last night. She and Sadie are learning to hook rugs. Actually, they are not working on a rug, but just learning the art of hooking. I finished a chicken by hooking, but I gave it to Mary Kate. I'm not interested in hooking anything anymore so I'll loan Trudy and Sadie my frames they need to put the burlap on in order to hook. I'm glad they are learning. Pat and Becky are teaching people the art. I may go up to Trudy's house and ride to Pat's with her one Tuesday to visit Pat and Becky. I haven't seen them in years.

Shopping
Today being Tuesday, the old folks day at Goody's, I went to Goody's to see if I could find the purse I wanted to get for Mary Kate. I found it among 75 other purses! I also bought two skirts and tops for Sunday wear. I have enough Sunday clothes now and enough summer clothes and should be able to stop buying.
The NRA did call and want a donation and I gave in and donated. It's a good cause but good causes will leave me broke!
I bought a new Roku at Walmart. The other one was broken but Frank is having trouble getting the new one to operate. The lady who waited on me in Walmart said she didn't know anything about electronics and hoped she will be moved to another dept. She was very nice but I know how she feels. She didn't even have a computer at home and there she was stuck working in the electronics dept.
I didn't water the plants today for it had rained yesterday. I guess I'll have to water them tomorrow. I have laundry to do but will do it tomorrow afternoon. I put in a load tonight.
My shoes should be coming in soon. I ordered two pair from Maryland Square and got wide size 7 1/2. Hopefully they will fit and I won't have to send them back. That would be lovely for I only have two pair of Sunday shoes and I usually only wear the same pair each Sunday.

Student Again!
I signed up for an online course, Write Your Life Story. It will be an autobiography (of course...). The course has a teacher and assignments and an exam and everything! It starts May 16. I've wanted to do this for a while but didn't know where to begin. I'm sure I'll learn more about the computer, too. It's connected with Athens State and is from their center for life long learning. It will be an adventure for me for sure!

Tomatoes
The tomatoes are planted! It took me about 3 1/2 hours to plant the tomato bag and the tomato kit. I need to get some bug spray and other sprays to kill disease so I can be prepared for any situation.
Bending over and putting the soil into the tomato bag was work! The tomato kit was even worse! I had to mix some coconut fiber in water and then mix it into the soil. I filled the reservoirs and think the tomatoes will be self watering so long as I keep the reservoirs filled. I don't think I'll ever be ready to tackle a raised bed garden unless someone else puts the soil in for me and all I have to do is to plant the plants and take care of them. It's one thing to sit in the house and feel good and another thing to be outside working!
After cleaning up after gardening, I rested and the vacuumed the floors. We read the Book of Mormon and now I'm ready to plop myself in bed and read.

Senior Center Meeting
We didn't have exercise today for there was a program about elder fraud. There was a panel of people from the BBB, the sheriff and police dept, and various agency's that help seniors avoid different scams and schemes. It was a 2 hour program and they had refreshments and lots of hand outs. It was very interesting and I'm glad I went. I got extra hand outs to give to Mary Lou and Bob.
My tooth still hurts and I have to take my Rx early sometimes to kill the pain. It's been over three weeks now and it should gradually get well.
We worked on getting the bills we already paid in order tonight. It was somewhat confusing. I guess we are just getting older...Screw the golden years, as Dad used to say!

May 1st
I bought my tomato plants and now I have to plant them. I opened boxes from Gardener's Supply and found the box that had the tray the tomato bag will sit in. It's supposed to wick the water from the bottom tray into the tomato bag. I opened the box that had the 4 bags of potting soil in them and the box that has the tomato cage in it. Maybe Thursday I can put the soil in the bag and plant a tomato plant in it. I have a tomato kit that has everything in it to grow tomatoes but I haven't opened it yet for I got it last month when it was too early to get it out. The boxes have been sitting in the kitchen floor for a month and it will be good to get them outside. I hope I will have success in growing a nice crop of tomatoes this year.
