vanillafluffyAfter patchy sleep yesterday---I woke at 6:42, finally got back to sleep two hours later, and awakened for good an hour after that---I went to church, where R. gave an overview of biorhythms--SO 70s!
Despite my malaise, I asked AI about organizing the clothing swap at church---we're overdue for one. I have stuff that needs to go, and B has asked about it as well---she lost weight for the wedding, and has kept it off, go her! There's sure to be a wide range of sizes---from size 10 thru 22, clear up to my size (3-4x, 28-32).
It isn't for UU members only; there will either be a cover charge, or a contribution of X number of garments. We're going to try VERY HARD to prevent a recurrance of the last swap, where one individual snagged a whole bunch of stuff, regardless of size, and resold it on eBay. The idea is that any leftovers are going to be donated, so theoretically, one would arrive with 20 items and leave with 5. Previously, the surplus went to an organization that helps runaways, but this time, we're talking about one of those rejoining-the-workforce services. A fun afternoon and a good cause!
Our afternoon tarot class covered the Major Arcana---I confess, I haven't kept up with the homework as I should---and by the time I got home, I was practically cross-eyed. I finally yielded to Florida in June and turned on the window a/c unit in my room for the first time this year and napped for three hours.
Better now.
Got motivated to work on my room, specifically the SE corner. Found more stray socks, books, stray phone cords, an extension cord, etc. Dust bunnies galore. B has said that we have to finish my bedroom before doing the boudoir or the biblioteca. Well, then...the stray thought has occurred to me that if---big IF---I can get the room thoroughly cleaned in the next week and a half and get the supplies, that maybe I can get GK to help me paint it. (She was my partner in crime---and I DO mean crime!---in painting it its currently unlovely shade of chocolate pudding brown, so helping to close the book on that hue would be fitting.)
Now I need to go clear things off my bed so I can crawl into it....
