March 25, 1997
I was up early this morning. I went out for a bagel and coffee as I haven't restocked the fridge and pantry yet. I took the Auntmobile to the carwash to remove the layer of grime it accumulated while parked at the airport. It looks way better. I shopped at TJ Maxx for towels and a towel rack for the downstairs bathroom and came came home empty handed. Off to therapy to discuss what possessed me to agree to having a family gathering at my house and other matters... I'm still a little shaken and disoriented about my friend's illness. It's just weird. I don't want to go into details here because I don't want to violate her privacy. It's just weird. I said that already. But it's still weird.
After therapy I stopped in at Starbucks. Ned was there wearing a cool hat and reading USA Today. I showed him my vacation pictures and we schmoozed for awhile. Ned left. Tom came by. I showed him the vacation pictures. He left to go teach his 1:30 class. I went home to take a nap. Next thing I knew it was 6:28PM!
I finished off last night's pizza and drove to the Burlington Mall to shop for towels and towel rack. No luck. Everything looks weird to me. Bought a milkshake and drove home. Worked on adding the birds I saw at Anza Borrego and the Salton Sea to my computerized life list. Talked with Nancy. That's about it.
