Tired, and I need to unpack. I would have done something pseudo-productive this evening, but I have in my hands a copy of "Comal County Blue". This will undoubtedly be the soundtrack for the week, with the exception of my Tuesday night outing to see Bonnie Raitt.
Happiness/ Gratitude List, 24 August Edition:
- Time with family. I know that my trip was probably the last time I'll see Elaine alive, and that makes me sad. That said, she's had a pretty amazing life.
- Coming home to enthusiastic kitty greetings. From both of them. I am, however, currently trapped at the desk chair thanks to Tucker Ted. If I move it back I will run him over and he's quite happily passed out on his back. I would share a photo but have no technology here at the desk to help with that. As usual, he has no dignity. None. But it's part of his charm.
- Having an "office" week to catch up on research. I have less than a month until our grant letter of intent is due, and that's due the same day as Burn abstracts. "What overly full plate," she asked disingenuously.
- The new Boland makes the list again, and again, and again. Copy is in hand, as are a few gift copies that I ordered.
