Another day on the job
For right now one hour at the library goes by quickly and keeps the stress level down, but pretty soon I'm going to ask if I can add another hour or two.Today I was straightening up the kids' play area and felt a tap on my hand. Looking up I saw the most beautiful little girl who tapped my hand again and then pointed to one of the book sections. Not a word was said by her, but I followed her, and when we were in front of the shelf she pointed to a book on the top which was on display. I handed it to her and then she handed it to her little friend who was with her. I asked her if she wanted a book for herself and she pointed to another one, so I took care of that. What a couple of little sweethearts! Of course my heart melted.It has been foggy off and on today but no rain as yet. Maybe on Thursday we will see some precip.I'm going to return the Mr. Coffee maker to Costco tomorrow. I followed all the directions and brewed my coffee in it yesterday. I have never had such tasteless stuff, which is beyond my comprehension because I've always found Mr. Coffee to brew delicious coffee. To me there is nothing like that first cup of coffee every morning.I don't know what the problem is, but I got my old Mr.C out and used it this morning. There is a distinct difference and I'm not wasting my money on the new version.I also bought a heavy duty hand can opener at Target, which is much more substantial than the one I have been using. I appreciate all the comments on this issue, but I decided that for the rare times I use a can opener at all, I can provide the energy to turn the handle. The only thing missing is the "church key" (bottle cap opener) that the old opener has on the end of one handle. I only need it to open the occasional bottle of beer, so I should search for one of the two Swiss Army knives I have somewhere.I want to mention that I'm treating my nightly leg cramps with the Himalayan pink salt and a product called "Calm". Calm is magnesium powder so I'm using about half the recommended dose and so far it works pretty well.

Not Feeling Well
I have done very little today except go to the post office and mail a package. I woke up early feeling very queasy. I sipped a bit of water and was in and out of bed - standing in the hallway by the bathroom, taking deep breaths, and trying...

Starting Over
As suggested, I decided to give the coffee maker another try in case it just had to get rid of the "brand new" taste. So this morning I brewed in the new Mr. C. The result was pretty good, so I suppose I'll keep it, but I'm putting...

Not Much News
I don't know if it's the delicious high-test coffee I've had the past two mornings, or the B-12 shot. I've been getting along with much less sleep than usual. You will remember I had been mixing decaf coffee beans with the...
