I haven't left the house and didn't shower until 3 o'clock. But I haven't been totally lazy. I did four loads of laundry, caught up on my mending, did some cooking and some picking up.

I watched the last episode of Downton Abbey. Shocker!

My dentist's office happily rescheduled my appointment without a charge. Now I'm scheduled for Thursday at 9. I think I will take a later train, so I can walk to the dentist from the station. It will be closer. I do so hate to drive when it isn't absolutely necessary.

My brother called this morning. He is going to come to visit the weekend after next -- he will be flying out to Texas on Sunday and I'll give him a ride to the airport. Usually I don't see him unless I go up to Michigan to visit, so I'm pleased. Unfortunately, he will just miss seeing my son, who will leave for Florida next weekend. I can't even stand to think about that.
