Dancer's Match

Began the day with breakfast and To Tell the Truth. Three women all claimed to have had an adventure in Trinidad. Peggy Cass got the right lady, who told them all about it with her husband. Soupy Sales on What's My Line also had luck, guessing their contestant was a mattress tester. He even showed off different mattresses afterwards.

Once again, work started out well. I spent most of the morning alternating between shelving items and rounding up carts. It was a gorgeous day for it, too. The rain vanished early this morning, leaving sunny skies, soft breezes, and mid-50 degree temperatures. I'd just finished sweeping the store when one of the managers asked me to stay an hour. One of the cashiers called out. I did to add to my paycheck, but it really wasn't necessary. We weren't that busy. It's the middle of the week, the weather's too nice, and a lot of people are annoyed that they're still rearranging the aisles.

Rushed home as soon as I got out. Changed, had a snack, and went straight into writing. Ira the Sheriff is suspicious that there's something weird going on here, but Marcia managed to toss him out, with Bill jumping in to bare his teeth. Cullen assures him that if he tries closing his shop, he'll sic whatever ghosts live there on him.

Broke for dinner at 6. Had leftovers while watching tonight's two Match Game episodes. Brett and Charles continued to fuss at each other here, including referring to Charles' dislike of wearing socks. Johnny Brown's very proud when he gets a right answer...and Marcia Wallace, who was rather notorious for not matching, was downright thrilled to get four right in a row.

Took a bath after dinner. I badly needed it, after working four days (two of them six hours, all early) in a row. My legs were so sore, and I think I may have twisted a muscle. It felt great to relax to George Shearing's White Satin and Black Satin, and look over a book on positive affirmations for women.

Finished the night with more Sailor Moon Super S as I went online. Brilliant Ami is in the spotlight in "Sparkling Summer Days! Ami at the Beach." Usagi's little brother Shingo has a huge crush on her...but Tiger's Eye is also after her. The Guardians all think he's a dreamy beach bum, but Ami realizes that something's not right here.

"Enter the Prima! Usagi In the Ballet" has the Guardians taking free beginner's ballet classes, hoping to get the lead role in the tragic ballet Giselle. None of them are exactly Misty Copeland quality...except for Fish Eye, who turns out to be excellent. Her teacher is impressed, upsetting his girlfriend, who was in training for the role of unfortunate peasant girl Giselle. Usagi and Chibi-Usa point out that Fish Eye may be good, but he's also cold and unfeeling, and that she should continue to pursue him. But Fish Eye doesn't appreciate being treated as part of the scenery...
