I missed writing yesterday, I was behind in everything again. I almost didn't get to it tonight, but here I am. This morning I got up early enough to shower and get ready to go to the Alpha Chi Alum meeting at Linda Sheldon's house in Carlsbad. It's not far from the Stake Center where we went on Sunday. Brittany drove me there and came to pick me up at 2 p.m. The Speaker was a financial planner, who told us about what to do in this sad economy, but I couldn't understand much of what he said. He used abbreviations I don't know, and I spent some time watching Linda's pet tortise (?) that was crawling around the yard. The two dogs were shut in their house. Any way, it was nice to see the women again. Most young women are working these days, so we were all the older ones at the meeting. The younger ones in the Palomar area go to a meeting at night.
