preparing for a sleep test

Tuesday was craft sale/flea market day at our park. I worked a short while on e-mail, etc. while Evelyn exercised. I went to the sale and bought a card to send to the retiring secretary. Evelyn came home and we finished storing the Christmas decorations. We have fewer boxes than last year but have more items. I was able to take the lights hanging around the carport roof without getting on the ladder. I used the clamp extender that mom had. It worked very well. We had brunch about 11, and then Evelyn went to the grocery alone. She wanted to go alone and forgot some things that I might have remembered. While she was gone I went to the sleep treatment center and talked with one of the doctors. I agreed to go there to spend the night on January 22. I think they will put a machine/mask on my face to help me breathe but don’t know. Evelyn had unloaded the car and shelved the groceries before I got home. She had talked with the man who cleans our carpet each year and had arranged for him to come tomorrow morning. He was a school janitor and cleans with what looks like a floor polisher so I have to sweep everything before he gets here. I did that and then we moved things out of the Texas room onto the porch. We had a dish Evelyn had seen in a magazine for supper. It was called shrimp lo mein and she had bought the ingredients just today. She worked hard on it, and we ate it around 5:30. It was terrible. We disliked it so much that she ate the shrimp out and put the rest down the garbage disposal. I went to the hall and brought travel catalogues that offer tours into Mexico. We took them to the church to give to Joe and Bonny after the meeting scheduled about using finances wisely. Perhaps we are too arrogant, but we decided we don’t need to enroll in that class. It deals with budgeting and investing among other things and sounded like our family plan when we were a family with children at home. It also emphasized eliminating debt which, praise God, we don’t have. Tonight’s meeting was just an introduction but we won’t return next week. It cost $93 for a lot of benefits including a study kit, but we didn’t see that as good stewardship. We gave the travel books to the Winstons and they seemed interested in a long trip to Copper Canyon in Mexico. Is that good stewardship? We will go if they decide they would like to go. He is still working and perhaps he can’t get away this winter. We came home and watched Purdue play Michigan State in basketball. Purdue plays 3 freshman and 2 sophomores so this is not their year. But are they good!
