This bit was written in 2011, but just now published, so it shows up in 2016. I want to leave it here because I want to keep it, but if you know me, it won't make sense to be in 2016.
So here I am home from harp school and Pete is in Maine, hopefully happy, at Boat School. My mental list of things to do while he's away is crowded with obligations - mostly having to do with the up-coming county fair and the extension homemakers food booth. The rapidly growing weedy grass, some family errands, and household chores fill much of the rest.
After a sleep catching up nap on Sunday, I decided to mow the lawn. About a third of the way through it the mower broke.
Monday afternoon the well pump quit in the middle of a load of laundry.
Tuesday morning my coffee grinder gave up the ghost.
By afternoon on Tuesday the pump was fixed (thanks to the wonderful fellow from Moss Well Drilling), I had located a repair person who promises to pick up (and presumably fix) the mower, I had located another coffee grinder, and I made a pot of coffee.
Dealing with these crisis (however mundane and truthfully insignificant) has put all else in perspective and I have revised my list.
