It was raining hard this morning so instead of driving to the Mountain I went with Liz and Luke up to Franklin. I sat in the car while they went into High Hopes, then we all went to Home Depot. I stayed with Luke at the house for a while because Madeline was late due to getting her driver’s license updated at the DMV. By the time she arrived it was pretty much lunch time, so I stayed for that. I finally left and was grateful that it wasn’t raining any longer. I drove via Lewisburg, where I stopped at Goodwill and looked at books, but didn’t buy any. I stopped again at a gas station before Cowan and got some greasy food. This decision would haunt me all afternoon. At the cottage I just went and lay on the couch because I felt so miserable. I tried to sleep but couldn’t. Now I am getting ready to go to dinner at Debbie and Charles’s house down in Dechard.
