Slept late
Jul. 25th, 2025 11:25 pmGot up around 12:00 and had breakfast and coffee. Walked down to the lake in my nightgown and ran into Linda walking the dog, Charlie. Walked with her a bit, then came back to the cottage.
Took a shower, and discovered there was no hot water. Showered in cold, quickly, but did not wash my hair, which I had planned. Got dressed, and tried to see if there was any reason there was no hot water. I didn't see anything.
Betsy came by to say hello, and ask me if I wanted to go to Hellers farm stand, and to Bye's Popcorn and I said yes. I told her about the hot water, and she looked too but also couldn't see anything.
We went back to her cottage, and she told Piet about the hot water. He came and looked, and he spotted the problem, which was that a valve had been turned which meant the water was bypassing the heater. He fixed it and I now have hot water. Yay! Hot shower and hair washing tomorrow.
Then we say Linda, and Betsy asked her if she wanted to come with us, and she said yes so we all went to Hellers. I got corn, peaches, plums, and a cucumber. The peaches aren't ripe though so I have them out.
Then we went to Bye's and waited for them to open. We talked a bit on line with some of the other people waiting. Finally it was time, and I got a small regular, and a bag of cashew caramel corn.
Came back to the cottage and put stuff away. I watched one of the panels for DCslash, and had just finished and was going to read on the front porch when Alan came by to visit. So he sat and we talked for awhile. That was nice.
After he left, it was almost 7:00 so I asked the FWiB if he wanted to Team, and we did. Most of his email has been going to my Spam folder today, which is frustrating. I keep getting annoyed that he's not answering me and then finding it in Spam.
Anyway, we Teamed, and then I went to DCslash again until 11:00 when I decided I wasn't interested in either of the last two panel choices so now I'm doing this.
Talked to the Kid today too, she's fine and got more job interviews lined up! Texted with
mashfanficchick, ze is sending me something, I don't know what... Texted with L, from Friday night, she said the new person showed up again which is great.
