My niece does summer soccer. But my sister had put her in indoor winter soccer. Anyhow they did not have enough younger kids so they had put her with the 7-8 year olds. But this week (and many others) they put that class with the older kids 8-9-10.

My sister was not happy about this. Because it is very tough when you are 6 and the other kids are much older and better. And they had boys who were playing very roughly.

This is the first time i've gone when she's played with the older kids. Anyhow the coach separted the girls and the boys. There were 3 girls playing against 3 girls. But the other two girls on my niece's team did not pass to her at all.

So at the water break i went over to them (their moms were there). And i told them my niece was feeling bad and asked as nice as i could if they would mind passing to her so she could feel part of the team.

The moms agreed and sort of chewed them out for not doing this earlier. Not sure why i had to do this (vs the coach). But at least after that they passed on every play.

I guess I will finish THE HELP now.

I really wanted to read. For some reason a lot of books have come for me from the library at the same time. Right now i have 6. I don't like having so many library books at once. Especially since i have 2 netgalley books i am dying to read.

And i haven' t read anything since i've been feeling under the weather. I think tomorrow i will try to spend a good part of the day reading.

I just watched a good episode of Sherlock Holmes on PBS, titled "The Resident Patient" with Jeremy Brett. Quite entertaining!

I'm guessing i won't fall asleep too early since i had a nap. I could not keep my eyes open. I feel really fatigued.

But the weird thing is my throat hurts on and off. Right now it doesn't hurt at all.

I won a gift card (which i didn't receive yet) to Chapters. It's the big bookstore chain in Canada. They sell online like amazon. But also have tons of actual huge bookstores.

Anyhow they sent a big booklet in the mail today for Mother's Day. And they had the prices of some books listed in there. And the prices seemed really high. Then I went online to their website and noticed that the prices of books are much cheaper there. Like a $20 book online was $15.

I never realized that they were charging so much more in the stores. I guess they want to have some incentive for people ordering online. Do they do the same sort of thing at Barnes and Noble?

Homemade coleslaw sounds good.

I would like to eat some of it too. I told him he didn't buy enough cabbage to make enough. Even so, I thought it would make more than it did. If we make it to the market tomorrow I'll pick up more ingredients to make more. He's going to a baseball game before driving home from San Francisco so I doubt he will be home early enough to make it unless he gets us very early Monday morning which I seriously doubt. I'm sure he would stay up tomorrow night except our makeshift bedroom is next to the kitchen.

That was very nice of them. Had it been father's they might have told you it is about winning.

Like your sister I would be unhappy with the changes. If my kid wasn't happy I would ask for a refund.

The prices might be up for Mother's Day. Watch for sales after, at least on books women are more likely to purchase. You do have Father's Day as we do?

Good morning, all! I did indeed sleep late, and a side of me wishes I'd stayed in bed longer than 9am. I'm going to ignore the laundry and the printing mess today and focus on cleaning up this apartment, and I may finish the last work needed to be done on on the full scores for ROBERTA. I also have the last act of the EILEEN Libretto to type by Monday. I've now collected all the EILEEN singers' biographies except for Philip O'Reilly, our Col. Lester, and our conductor David.

I also need to move my apartment furniture around and get the AC ready for summer, but I fea with my current back situation, I need to hire some sherpas. I need vibes for the office, the lousy printer, my back, etc. Is there a Mayo Clinic for vibes? I need 'em all.

~~~~~~~~Multiple positive vibes to DR elmore!~~~~~~~~

I am back and greatly relieved. Yesterday afternoon I had an appointment with our primary care physician because my left leg and ankle had been hurting and swelling for a couple of weeks. With my history of blood clots, of course I was concerned. The doctor didn't think I had a blood clot, but scheduled an ultrasound of both legs for today, just to be on the safe side. Both legs are clear, so Richard and I went out to lunch to celebrate.

The doctor also ordered me to buy a new pair of shoes for my cardio walking to replace the worn out Easy Spirits I've been wearing. He thinks the pain in my ankle is tendonitis.

Good health news, Ginny!

TOD: Late in the day

Introduction to SCI FI was via Rocky Jones Space Ranger, a thrice weekly television series.

First SciFi movie - FORBIDDEN PLANET at the Center Brook Drive In. I do not remember what the other feature was, but I think it was a western.......otherwise my father would never have taken us to the drive in the first place.

I've been asked to install the new Middletown AAUW officers at our dinner meeting on Monday evening. We use a script that was very antiquated and harder and harder to read each year without giggling. It was also too long. The board gave me permission to revise it, which I've done this evening. Taking out a lot of hyperbole and incorporating the flower ceremony into the body of the script, I've managed to reduce it from 5 pages to 4. Wonder if anyone will notice?
