Did I say I enjoyed sleeping with the windows open and a cool breeze drifting through the window?  The sleeping is good but the getting up is not.  I really didn’t want to get out from under the covers this morning.

Today will be the first normal work day since last Thursday.  I thought I’d get a lot done yesterday and I suppose I did but it seemed like everyone in the school took advantage of the day to come to me with computer problems.  Felt good about getting so many things fixed, though.  Sometimes, it was just osmosis.  Just restarting the things took care of a lot and folks were singing my praises.  “You fixed it!  Yay!”  I didn’t run into anything I couldn’t deal with and the net result felt good.  A major decrease in the pile of paperwork on my desk and at least ten computer problems addressed and resolved. 

ROTC met from 5:00 to 6:30 and I finally got home around 7:15.  It was a good thing we met.  I had wrapped my brain around the idea of chaperoning and working at the Highview Festival next Saturday and was brought back to reality when I discovered it’s this Saturday.  I’m scheduled to work the ROTC booth and parade from 10:00 to 3:00 and the school booth from 3:00 to 5:00.  Still feeling a bit miffed about having to report to work an hour early yesterday while knowing I’m volunteering seven hours on Saturday. 

Nothing going on at home.  DGD, Holly, has been at the house the last five days and I tried to keep her from eating junk as much as I could and made sure she got some kind of exercise every day.  She lost 2 1/2 pounds since Thursday!  Ah…to be young again.  Walk around the block everyday and cut out a few extra helpings and lose 2 1/2 pounds.  (sigh)  In the same time period, I lost 0.  (double sigh)
