#2202 Saturday with Sandy

I am still in southern California spending time with my mom and my sister. Yesterday we took Mom to the doctor to have the tube removed. Today she has been very tired and sleeping a lot. I think it's because although she did rest a lot this week, she was uncomfortable because of the tube and the rest she got was not of good quality. She has been sleeping pretty soundly today.

This morning Lizzie and I went for a walk to the WW studio here in town. It's just less than a two mile walk from the house to the studio. Lizzie waited for me at Panera. I was glad that I made myself go to the workshop because the discussion was exactly what I had been thinking about and needed to hear. It's crazy how that happens sometimes. After the workshop, L and I walked back home, so we had a nice nearly three and a half mile stroll this morning.

Lizzie spent the day unpacking boxes and getting settled in to her new (old) house. I've been reading most of the day and thinking about books. You see, my to-read list on Goodreads and on my eLibrary app were kind of out of control and I was looking to add more books to the lists. The sheer volume of books on my lists was overwhelming and giving me no joy, so I went radical: I deleted all the books off the to-read list and from the hold list on the library app. Some of the books on the Goodreads list had been there since 2013. I had been unable to find some books at the library or on the elibrary site, so even though they seemed good at the time, it was unlikely that I would ever read them. Still, to delete everything was pretty wild for me. I had over 100 books on each of the lists. I have added some books back on to each list. The books I own that I want to read are on Goodreads, and books that are new that I am interested in are on the library list. Both are manageable at the moment.

Tonight Lizzie and I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things for Mom. I am heading home tomorrow afternoon and I think Lizzie will be heading back to San Diego to clean her apartment before turning the keys back to the owner.
