I vacuumed the floors after I got of work at Marie's this morning. I didn't have to go to Alma's; she's still in the hospital. I bought the piano chair screws and installed the backrest on my new piano chair. I dyed my hair for the first time since I went to work for Ruth in August. I even applied moisturizer all over. I put on the fingernail tips that I bought when Ruth went to the hospital.

It snowed. As the snow hit the ground it melted, then the temperature dropped and the slush froze, and it snowed more. I sprinkled calcium chloride on my concrete driveway. I don't want to slide into my fence again. The streets are sheets of ice.

Before I went to Marie's, I went to the grocers with coupons, and picked up all the toilet and bath aids that I'll need at Marie's house for myself.

For all practical purposes, I have completed all the repairs that occurred during the period of time I had roommates. I have also winterized Mom's and my houses better than ever before, and am about to live totally in my living room and kitchen.
