Yesterday was not busy enough, for obvious reasons.
I went to lunch at Jason's over on 92, and it was pretty good food, but I don't think they will make it. There weren't any other customers in there.
I then went by the Goodwill in Rutledge to take all the ladies there a cold drink. It was packed, and it took me a long time just to buy a few toys.
I left there, and went to the Family Dollar. When I got there, Fern told me that I wouldn't be allowed to help Joan any more. She said that some customer had threatened to call corporate headquarters and report them for letting me help out there. I asked her who it was, and she said that she didn't know. I think she might be afraid that I'm after her job. But, I won't be helping out there anymore. I stayed all afternoon and talked with Joan, because I don't want her to feel like I'm mad at her.
Pepper Spradlin came in, and we sat on a stack of rugs and talked to Joan while she struggled with shelves. I wanted to help her so much, but I can't now.
She looked exhausted. Steven had to run the cash register, so he wasn't much help to her.
I called her this morning to see if she had got some rest, and she said that she's still tired.
I came home last night, took a bath, and washed my hair. I didn't sleep much last night.
I got up pretty early this morning, and saw a post from Lynn on her blog. She was really down, so I posted on her site to try to encourage her some. It must have worked, because she wrote me a nice e-mail thanking me for my post. I'm glad I'm good for something.
I told Mary to not come today, because it snowed during the night, and I wasn't sure she could get up the bluff.
The sun is shining now, and it's all bright.

CLAIRE, I'm sorry your volunteer work was hindered. Maybe God has another project for you to handle instead? Anyway, your help was appreciated and will probably be missed greatly. Keep cheered, something else will probably open up soon needing your attention.
