I didn't make it to the Retreat. I had been looking forward to it for some time, I like Debra so much, I've been to her retreats before (it was she who referred me for psychological testing) and I was very sorry to have missed it. I had got everything ready last night, I put the address into the GPS, ran off Google directions (for plan B) decided what to wear, made my sandwich filling for lunch, but I got up this morning, contemplated the drive to the other side of Oklahoma City - an hour on the interstate, an hour and a quarter on the highway - and I just couldn't do it. I felt all my energy literally drain out of me.
So really I haven't done anything today, I didn't even have the energy to do any of the things that needed doing round the house, so I have been reading all day. I had a very good book, I couldn't put it down until I'd finished it. One of my recent bargains from The Dollar Tree, the satire on corporate life 'Who Moved my Blackberry'. The reason it was practically being given away for a dollar was because it had a tiny spot of printers ink on it, it was so small I wouldn't have noticed it if I hadn't looked, so who cares about that.
I looked at a bit of news. The bad television reception has hopefully been resolved. The technician tightened the connections in the roof (and they needed it, he said that was the cause of the problem) and he replaced all the jump leads in the house.
The news hasn't been very good, between the Arctic weather and the lawlessness in this country. Yesterday a student was shot in a university in South Carolina, and today there was a shooting in a mall in Maryland. Yet they still think it is a good idea for people to own handguns!!!!!!!!!!! It beggars belief.
