Neighborhood Angels

Started off a sunny morning with breakfast and Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood. Inspired by Lady Elaine giving his mother sunflower seeds, Daniel decides it's "Neighbor Day" and joins his mother in giving sunflowers to their neighbors. On the way, he and his friends help Mr. McFeely deliver packages, organize the new musical instruments Music Man Stan got in the mail, and clean up Baker Aker's kitchen. King Friday appreciates the kids' efforts so much, he declares Neighbor Day to be an official holiday in The Land of Make Believe.

Worked on writing for the next hour and a half. The Nutcracker gets lost in fantasy as he dreams of rescuing his beloved Princess Marie, who is also under a spell. He thinks she's the one who'll lift his curse. Debralee's not sure that's how things will work. Is she really that pretty and sweet? The Nutcracker says so. He thinks she's the most wonderful girl in the world.

Hurried off to work soon as I got off the computer. Barely made it on time. We were off-and-on busy today, not surprising during the beginning of the month and a day many people had off. I ended up in express, which I hate. I always panic and can never keep up with people or tell them not to come in when they have too many items. At least they were able to corral one of the teen boys to go in for me at the end of the night.

Dark clouds gathered even as I went to work this afternoon. By the time I got out, I emerged to wet streets and dripping cars. It looked like it rained at some point, though the showers were down to mist by 7 PM. It started up briefly as I rode through Oaklyn, but vanished as I reached East Clinton.

Changed, then had dinner while watching Match Game '78. I don't often see the early '78 episodes from before Richard Dawson left on Buzzr, and they picked a good one. Brett Somers returns from having been in a play, only to find Gene with a cold and everyone giving weird answers to what she did to her current wig (especially Richard). 

Finished the night with the fourth season of Charlie's Angels on The Roku Channel. Kris Munroe poses as a rich divorcee in Arizona to find out why a former thief skipped parole. Turns out being a bank robber doesn't mean you're not dangerous. Bosley, Kelly, and Tiffany set up a plot to lure him back to Los Angeles, only to discover that "One of Our Angels Is Missing," and he may have more in mind for Kris than just conning her out of her money.
