The software vendor’s function I attended yesterday afternoon was pretty good, although some of the presentations discussed features for the version of the software we don’t use.  Yet.  We’ll see if we make a move sometime in the next couple years – when they stop supporting our version.  Although the smell of the appetizers was tempting, I skipped the cocktail hour and went back to the office, packed up and went home.

I wasn’t thrilled to have to walk home (didn’t take the bike that morning due to rain), and I was warm and sticky when I got to the house. 

Didn’t do much of anything last night, just tv and reading.  Just felt like I was dragging.  Dinner was boneless wings of various flavors.  Leave it to bf to just buy wings and no sides.  Why do I let myself just go along with those kinds of meals?  Because it’s easier.  I think if I want to eat more home cooking, I’ll have to do it on the weekends.  Bf is not particularly interested in cooking stuff that does not involve slapping meat on the grill.  Sigh. 

Got to bed early-ish.  I woke around 3:30 to a thunderstorm.  More rain.  Gosh, we’ve gotten a lot of rain this week.  The weekend is forecast to be sunny.  Fingers crossed!! 

My sore throat continued all yesterday and all night.  It is easing up now because, of course, the germs have successfully invaded and my nose is starting to run and I’m having to clear my throat regularly.  Swell. 

My meeting this morning was moved to this afternoon, so I have two meetings this afternoon. 

This weekend.  Well, I have to pick up my contact lenses from the eye doc.  Not very convenient, as he’s in the city and I’m not.  I need to start telling them to mail them to me.  It would be worth it to just pay their shipping cost.  I think they could just send them in a padded envelope, right?  (Does anyone buy disposable contacts by mail?  What do they ship them in?)

Saturday afternoon I have a pedorthist appointment at the shoe store.  We’ll see what that leads to, but I’m pretty sure I’m just going to start off buying some good fitting shoes and over-the-counter arch support inserts.  I’m not up for a sales pitch for whatever they’ll try to sell me.  There’s a music festival in our town this weekend and so I’m sure we’ll be attending with some friends.  I know there’s a certain artist one of our friends wants to see, so I suppose the timing will revolve around that.  I also want to make some spaghetti sauce, so maybe I’ll sauté and onions and garlic and brown the meat and then dump everything in the crockpot. 

That’s about it.  Better post and get to work.
