...is getting to work 30 minutes late, after By kindly pulled the flat tire on my car and put the spare on, then having to spend 40 minutes pretending interest in Turf Guy's Alaskan cruise vacation photos. Both the ones on cd, and the inch-high stack of snapshots, mostly of floating ice, bits of whales showing above the water, and glaciers at the shoreline. I'm glad he had a good time, I'm glad he returned in a better mood than what he was in when he left, but gee whiz. This was his second day back after vacation, everybody else in the office had seen it already, but he still spent 40 minutes going through it. **shakes head**
Didn't get as much done yesterday as I'd meant to, but I did accomplish a respectable amount. ALL of the laundry, including the basket of cold and hand-wash stuff that I've been putting off for durn near forever, some stuff folded, sheets changed on the bed (!), got eggs hardboiled for snacks at Tara, cleaned out and defragged the computer, a bit of knitting done, and more knitting done while watching the kids. I'd meant to do a batch of scones last night too, but I ran out of steam. I'll do it tonight.
And I did go out and take those cuttings for Donna. They're sitting in a baggie with water, on the kitchen counter. *sigh* Tomorrow.
Got to bed very late last night (for those keeping track, very late = 45 minutes after I got off the phone). Am hoping for rain this afternoon, not that we need it, but the excuse to bum around in the shop would be welcome. I get to clean out the back of the golf cart and put on my Chemical Annie hat today. Hopefully, *if* any of the PT guys used the big tank, they cleaned it. I hate having to guess what the mystery liquid in the tank might be.
By made decent progress on the silver pieces he's putting in the raffle for Tara. Most of the parts cut out, anyway. Some of the other things he'd wanted to get done have been put aside as just not feasible this week. We're both getting better about that. Now, if we can avoid over-committing in the first place....Oh, and By picked up the t-shirts for Tara. Not super-fancy, but nice. And fairly subtle; we can wear these out in public. White, though. I might have to fix that later. If nothing else, tea-dye them to a nice ivory shade.
