work day

Wednesday was cold. We completed our usual routine anyway. I did get to talk with the activity director about the trip to the Border Control on January 10. We have to be there about 9:40 so we will have to hurry to get blood drawn at 8 since we have to drive to Harlingen. I came home, packed the recyclables, took Evelyn to Wells Department Store to check out their sale, took the recyclables to the center, returned for Evelyn and went off to retrieve Evelyn. We went to Big Lots to look at furniture and then to Radio Shack to check on the status of our rechargeable batteries. I can’t let this go without a scary story. I talked with a young saleslady about getting a couple of batteries. “How many do you want?” she asked. “How many is a couple?” I asked. “Four or five.” she responded. I was truly speechless. I asked if a married couple would consist of four or five. She turned to another young salesman and asked him. “I thought it was three.” he said. I was so dumb struck that I could not even complete a deposit at the bank when we took money to deposit. We came home and I began working on the sermon. I worked most of the day while Evelyn worked on cooking. We also took a nap and were able to sleep this time. She went to some entertainment at the hall in the evening while I continued working. I think I made some good solid progress. She came home and we watched the season premier of Law and Order while she polished shoes.
