Further updates

Still waiting to hear from By's folks on exact travel plans. I'm sure we'll know that sometime today; his mom is efficient that way.

Called in to the greenhouse this morning, and Donna can do without me this week, so I get to stay home and pack and putter tomorrow. That'll help. Dr G was very sympathetic and helpful; there's a little paperwork I'll have to do next week, but he said it could all wait until I get back. Same with the interview for the teaching post (which was supposed to happen on Wednesday).

Donna's still all pissed with DG...she gave DG a talking-to this morning, and DG just isn't getting it. (DG's main comment, "I don't lie. I can't stand liars. I don't understand why we're having these trust issues.") But DG also says she's looking for an office job, full time, with benefits. Doubt she's going to find one, but I wish her luck. The sooner she's gone, the sooner we could hire Courtney or Brian as her replacement.

Gak. Just remembered, I've forgotten to call my mom about all of this. Gotta do that tonight.

Guess I'm going to go try to get hold of By's mom again, and go do some string. Gotta figure out what string I'm taking with me on this adventure, too.

Too much, all at once.

'Cuz some of my friends have asked...

No, the white stuff that's all over the news hasn't affected us much. Yet. We've got a dusting on the ground, and it looked like it was starting to accumulate on the road and driveway, before it got too dark to see.

Mom says she's got blizzard conditions right now--mostly the same half inch of snow blowing around, she thinks, but blowing so hard you can't see anything. And they closed I-70 from Salina west, as of midafternoon. (That's east of Mom, about 50 miles.) Hopefully, not much of that will make it to our end of the state.

Mom didn't know if Sis had made it home yet; Sis and family had gone to Texas to see the sperm donor.

The travel arrangements are done, By's mom got my name right on the tickets this time (yay!). One less thing to worry about. I've called or notified most of the people I needed to. (I hope. I've spent a frightful amount of "business time" on the phone today.) I've finished a couple of string projects, washed and blocked them, and I'm going to go do squares now.

Square count: 84/169

One more and I'm halfway!!!
