Open Rainy Sunday

I woke up early thing morning to the beautiful sound of rain. I really wanted to stay in bed all day. I am not sure why I didn't. Well, I had plans. Well, not plans exactly, but I didn't want a lazy day. Especially with the new subletter moving in today. So I got up at 9:30AM and once I moved to the couch I saw the clock on the TV box read 8:30AM. Oh gosh, daylight savings time. I made breakfast and heated some tea and planned the day.

Sprint, Trader Joe's, the library, the bank.

I went to the Sprint store yesterday after a quick run to The Gap in Emeryville. I wanted to finish the last of my gift cards at The Gap and before I drove into the city I stopped at Sprint. I am sure why I went there when I didn't have time. However, I was on the verge of making a huge change.

So, today when I went back I confidently went up to the counter and asked for a new phone with a new contract and a NEW PHONE NUMBER. After many, many years I decided to switch my Atlanta number for a local East Bay number. There really was no reason for it since most people today have phone numbers from all over. However, I think I needed to make a mental and emotional decision and get a phone number that places me in the Bay Area. I have learned my new number and it's not as uncomfortable as I thought it would be. I have sent some texts letting some know that I have new number, but I have yet to receive a phone call. Dad called from China this morning and I had the sound off from The ChatRoulette Show last night. I did email him my new number and hope that he calls tomorrow.

My other errands were less grand, but things that I have either been putting off or just needed to do. I had some Trader Joe's spiced that I needed to return. Since there's a store in the same shopping center as Sprint I decided to stop in return the garlic and oregano and buy a few things. I ate a bit too much trail mix on the way home, but stopped at the bank to deposit some checks. I wish that all of my money could be direct deposited. I am so bad about making deposits. However, I did spend some time yesterday and today updating Quicken and maintaining all of my admin hours spreadsheets. I really need to know where I am financially make sure that I am refilling my savings. Next I went to the library to return both myth books for the MTC class and a nice novel. Well, not so nice. A cracked out messed up novel by Christopher Moore. I was a little sad that today is Sunday and the library was closed. It would have been nice to get another book.

In terms of the myths, I am a little worried about the presentation for my after school class. We don't have class for some reason this week and then we have one more class before our showing. I wish we had a rough outline, but we don't. We have a little movement sequence and one really lovely short play. I think we are going to quickly do some character work and whip something together.

Once I got home I made a messy egg sandwich for the third day in row, started making a soup with the collards and other veggies that I had and also put some music on and did a little cleaning.

So, yes I am sitting on the couch, but I had a productive day. I need to finish the soup once I am done watching The Next Iron Chef...and plan tomorrow.
