I need to focus on these conjugations. I hear them all the time. Someone says or said something.

Sunset!

Produced my newsletter.
I have the newsletter written, produced, labels on the envelope, return envelope and the tax letters for our donors complete. I still need to get stamps. I’ll take the newsletter to get copied tomorrow afternoon. I should be able to have them in the mail tomorrow. Amen.
Went to the US Post, but the stamp machine wasn’t working. At least according to the note.
Listened to Don Cheto. Sometimes I’m really getting a lot. My ear seems like it’s picking out words better. I’m thinking now that that might be thanks to using my ear buds rather than listening through car speakers.
I’ll come in the top three again this week.
