Chaffin

The "Chaffin thing," as we call it, was Saturday. After the lunch & award speech there's a book reading/signing/sale over at the bookstore and after that we followed the award recipient (initials E.R.) to his cabin in the next county and sat around talking, drinking, listening to music. It was a nice day. At first neither th'Mr nor I was sure I'd go to any of it, since my weekends are more precious when I'm working, but I did go (to all of it) and we had a good time. Not a wasted day (unless you count that in an alcohol-related way).

Today I'm off work for another doctor appointment this afternoon. Then there's one next Tuesday, then hopefully I'm done with that for a while.

My apartment - I moved in last Tuesday. Tuesday night I still had no hot water but Wednesday when I got in from work there was plenty. It's very small, but big enough. The carpet in the room-that-is-not-the-kitchen-or-bath (which I'm calling the Other Room) is brand new. Tuesday night I went grocery shopping (wine, potatoes, onions, eggs, juice, butter, shampoo) and Wednesday I browsed through JoAnn fabric till I found a light flannel on sale, that I bought four yards of to make curtains. Thursday I cut & pinned curtains. Tomorrow among other things I'll take my sewing machine back with me.
