Today was a very full-filling day for me. I started off with making a fresh pot of coffee using grounds that I ground right before processing. I like my coffee strong and today I didn't use quite enough coffee so it was a little bit weak, but I didn't mind because it had a real good flavor. I like to use espresso roast. I had a serving of Bel-vita breakfast cookies, too. They go really well with black coffee.
So, after getting dressed I headed out the door and into the garage. I was running a little bit early for Journaling class but by the time I double checked that I had everything I needed and retrieved the missing things, I was running about 10 minutes behind schedule.
The trip to journaling was not easy because of the weather. There was a little bit of fog when I was near home but it became heavier the closer I got to my destination. I know I needed to make a left turn onto Lake Otis Parkway but I couldn't see the signs and turned on the wrong street. I had to turn around and then wait at a light. I already waited one time and the light stayed red for quite awhile. The next turn the same thing happened and I had to drive a little ways before I could turn around. Then, the icing on the cake--when I arrived I found the close parking to be completely full. I just don't know why I go to this class. It seems rather far away and I already know a lot about journaling. My problem is that I cannot bring myself to journal regularly for an extended period of time.
When I went into the building I went straight to the classroom and discovered that I had enough time to go to the break room for coffee. With second cup of coffee in hand I went into the classroom and settled in. The presenter began talking about what she had on her agenda and a few people added to her presentation. I was one of the people who had something to say, in fact, most everyone added something. It was a very lively discussion and we even had a few laughs. When class was over, I decided that I would be back again next week.
When I returned, I had a package waiting on my doorstep. I was happy because I knew what it was. I ordered a hamper through Amazon and it is one that folds. I couldn't wait to open it because I was afraid that it would be flimsy and I would have to return it, but that is not the case. It is just sturdy enough and I can fold it up and put it right back in the box when I move in April. I also got a photography book, Shooting with Soul.
The morning seemed to be just a little too much for me. I was tired and my allergies were bothering me so I took an allergy pill. It didn't take long before I was taking a nap.
The last thing I had on my agenda was to attend a fundraiser for Literacy--Scrabble Scramble so by 5:45 PM I was behind the wheel and driving to Our Lady of Guadaloupe Church. I had a very enjoyable time and was home by 9:30 PM. and able to catch the last half hour of Blue Bloods and then the 10 o'clock news.
Happy Trails, until we meet again.
