Went to Omaha with Leofwyna and Odierne. They wanted to go to a Thai restaurant there and Od had a money order to use at Borders. We filled the rest of the day visiting 4 of 5 Thrift World stores. I came away with three tops and a pair of pants in addition to various fabrics and a long-handled silverplate slotted spoon. We ended at Whole Foods and I had a nice supper and read my book while they both went crazy shopping there. As Od had bought our lunches I think I probably stayed under $30 for the day's expenses.
When we were settled in at home again we found the monitor was flippin' and I fear we're going to have to find a replacement as it's old and has the right to go belly up. I was frustrated not being able to catch up on email and journaling. After breaking down a few sample books and trying to sort the cotton stack I gave it up and headed up to read in bed. Haven't done that in a lo-o-ong time.
SUNDAY
Called Mike first thing about the monitor... he's pretty sure the monitor or the card has died on us. Yardwork this afternoon... Leofwyna worked on clearing the east part of the front beds while I started moving compost to the new bin. After supper I came to CYT computer lab to catch up and register for this week's unemployment insurance. Late night just isn't the same without the computer at home; I've been spoiled and want to stay that way, thank you very much!
