Having been told Enterprise would be open today, I arrived early, hoping to rent a car. It was not to be today.
With no clear idea of when I would be able to leave Waynesvillle, I knew I needed to put an end to the hotel bill that after seven night was more than $1000. In the afternoon I rode to the home where I had been included in the family dinner with four generations. I explained my situation and asked whether I could stay with them in exchange for helping clean up the mess from Helene. I was told I could sleep on the couch or the floor as long as I needed. I was already committed for an eighth night at the hotel, so I will start my stay with the family the next day. I’m grateful for their generosity, and relieved that I have put an end to increases in my hotel bill, which is about $1200.
Later I walked to Walmart to buy groceries. I saw that the creek that had been flowing so heavily a few days ago was now gentler, but with all sorts of debris remaining.
My right shoe continues to have its stitches fail.
I repaired the seam using monofilament for thread.
What do you think of my work?
I did all the stitching inside the shoe.
For lunch and dinner I ate food I bought from Walmart.
