Ruth didn't go to sleep until 2:40AM and woke up at 7:25AM.

I told Alma to lay down on the bed to rest with me, and we both fell asleep for over an hour. I slept with my arm over her, so she wouldn't get up and wander without waking me up.

I bought more caulking and weatherstripping to finish winterizing my storm doors, and the front and back doors. I took my broken storm window to be repaired and ordered a garage window to replace a rotted wooden one. I ordered new buffer brushes again: I'll be using them after vacuuming the carpet.

I finished caulking the outside of the storm door and the outside of the house, and weatherstripping the back door and storm door.

As soon as I could, after buying supplies and winterizing at home, I went to Ruth's. the regular employee is sick and my boss has taken a better paying job for a month. I wonder if I could get a month's leave of absence to work somewhere else for more money without quitting.
