Short Night, Long Day

It never fails. When I have to get up early, I don't sleep during the night. I went to bed before 11 PM last night knowing that I had to get up at 5:30 this morning. I tossed and turned and turned and tossed until well after 1. I tried all my little "tricks" I do to keep my mind from wandering. Didn't work. I saw every hour on the clock and finally got up a little after 5. I was the guest speaker at the local Optimist Club meeting this morning. I talked about Share Your Christmas. This is the third time I've made a presentation on SYC since September. I will also be speaking--or sharing my power point presentation--Thursday at a meeting.

The best thing about this morning was that I got a free breakfast. This is my favorite meal to have if eating out. Nothing beats sausage, gravy, biscuits, hash browns and eggs. Yum! I'm not sure about the meeting Thursday. It's at noon, don't know if I get my meal free or not.

The meeting was over at 7:45 so I thought I would go work at the library for an hour before the Clothes Closet opened and I began work there. Best laid plans...I couldn't find my keys to the library. So I went home to search for them and couldn't find them there either. I called Charles later to see if I had left them in the library. Not there. It finally dawned on me that they were in my jacket pocket which was hanging on the back of a chair in the dining room. At least I know where they are now.

We were busy signing up people for Share Your Christmas today. Forty eight families signed up. I now have 130 people on my list to fix a gift bag. There are three days left for sign ups so I am planning for at least 200 on my list. I still have to buy socks and gloves. Plan on doing that tomorrow. I got home a little after 4 this afternoon and I am ready to go to bed! It has been a long day. At least I don't have to get up early in the morning! I am dreading that week after next. I will have to be gone by 7 each morning.
