Went for an early morning walk and had to abort it after half a mile. Some time last year, I bought some “barefoot” style walking shoes off an internet source. These were very light-weight walking shoes, flexible fabric uppers. I wore them sometimes for walking on pavement and they had been fine.
This morning the right show suddenly decided it didn’t want to cup my heel any more. The back of the shoe kept sliding down and tucking under my heel. Which made the right shoe loose and kind of dangling off my toes. Pulled it back up, a block later it would be loose again. I came on home and dropped the shoes in the landfill box at the door.
At 10:30, time for the monthly Event Coordinators meeting. The EVCO is a fun meeting; we go over the calendar of events planned for the next month, and then talk about issues in various committees that sponsor events. My only role now that I’ve passed the AV chair to John, is to report on the CMX.
As soon as that was over, I picked up my bag of stuff and headed off to FOPAL. The monthly post-sale triage takes over an hour: looking at every book left on the shelf; sending ones that have seen 3 sales off to the bargain room; lowering prices as appropriate. Then I processed three boxes of donations, and headed back. I was pleased to get home around 3:15, thinking I had time for a nap before Rhonda’s open meeting at 4. Come to find out, Rhonda was out sick and that meeting had been canceled. So I got an extra long nap.
After supper I printed out the lyric sheet for the Ed Sheeran album and duplicated 22 copies on the big copier downstairs.
