I laid down and prepared myself mentally to do all the things in town that needed to be done.  I am amazed that I went to about 8 of those places.  Mailed out my bills, shopped for groceries in 3 different stores, bought a Tracfone and some minutes for it, returned library books, donated to the Food Pantry, sold my Ruby Glassware at an antique shop and got $30.00 for those things, went to the bank, went to Pit Stop and got an oil change with full service.  But couldn't make it to the feed store, nor did I go to tire shop to repair slow leak in tire.  Will take care of those details next trip into town.  Hope my tire holds out until then. 

It's much colder today, and I'm dragging my feet on getting more stuff done until I feel warmer.  At least I have some room in the etagere where that red glassware used to be.  I will go through my clothing soon, and see what good things I can part with for the Good Will store.  I can take things in to town on my next trip. 

I was listening to Ariana Huffington talking about blogging, and how you should blog your passions, along with your everyday things.  I have just been settling down after the election.  All I can say is that it is such a joy to me to listen to the intelligence of Barack Obama, as he faces up to the enormous challenges that the Bush administration has (almost) left in its wake.  If only there was some way to prevent the damages that Bush is hell-bent on doing in his last days in office!  We need to change so many things that are wrong about the way government operates now.  We need a total overhaul of the entire system, and I hope Obama intends to remake our government in a humane, commonsense way.  He has got a fine retinue of people to work on it.  All the people who ran for president are all extremely good men and women, and I just wish they were already in office with Barack.
