I didn’t end up napping this morning or going for a walk. I lay down for two hours, but my brain wouldn’t stop spinning, and I got a fundraising call from some sort of environmental group exactly halfway through.

Then, when I got up, I had to force myself to eat and ended up with some dry cereal and a protein bar of a flavor I quite thoroughly dislike. I might not have eaten anything at all if I hadn’t known that the cleaning lady would come at 2:00 and that she’d be fasting for Ramadan. I knew I needed to eat, and her arrival gave me a deadline which I (just barely) made. I just wish I’d managed something actually useful.

I didn’t go for the walk I’d intended because I thought I should eat first so as not to fall over in the middle of things and then because I didn’t want to leave the cleaning lady on her own. I trust her, but when we leave her here alone, she’s prone to pulling things out of wherever we’re keeping them in order to put them where she thinks they should go. Sometimes, it takes us a very long time to find those items.

I have run and emptied the dishwasher and washed a load of towels. I’m not sure if the towels will be dry by the time Scott wants to shower, however, because I spaced out and only put them in the dryer at 4:00 even though I could have done it two and a half hours earlier.

Cordelia texted me around 2:30 to say that they’d made $9. Scott’s parents were expecting today to be the busiest day of the sale which makes me puzzled as to who they’ve been talking to. I would expect more of the type of people likely to be interested in what they’re selling on Saturday because those people are pretty sure to be working today and tomorrow. I mean, yes, the really dedicated bargain hunters and the professionals looking for cheap antiques and collectibles probably came today, but the stuff Scott’s parents have is not, any of it, in that category. In terms of what we took up there, there’s my paraffin bath. There’re four blankets and some old sports equipment. There’re a couple hundred things— books, CDs, DVDs, and VHS tapes— going four for a dollar. Oh, and there are two pictures and a CD playing alarm clock.

I’m currently watching a travel DVD and having a lot of trouble following it. My brain keeps wandering off, fading in and out. I’m tempted to lie down for a while, but it’s really time for me to eat dinner. I’m trying to answer some emails, but I can’t seem to get very far with that.

Sounds like a pretty low key day. When we've had a yard sale the weekday sale days attract professionals looking for things for resale so it's pretty brisk business for an hour or so.

Yipe, I hope you're feeling okay! I would never be able to get any housework done if I was in your state, so kudos to you!
