Happy Birthday, Audrey Blauner. My favorite sister-in-law. Have a safe trip to Florida. Dubious distinction of first family "event" without Linda. :~(
Tomato progress report:
Bed half dug tonight, with Ketzl tethered under the apple tree so he could keep an eye on me. Tomorrow's assignment: buy soil amendments and get them in. If there's time, plant.
One person makes a difference.
Being one person makes a difference.
Less garbage (back to one bag per week).
Fewer dishes (especially when eating dinners out a lot).
Less hot water (wow, the PG&E bill was big, heating water for 7 people).
Not sure if it will make sense to keep the Costco Executive membership. Fewer purchases there.
Today looking in my desk drawer at work I found a few old valentine's cards...when Linda worked at Temple, she bought a whole pack of kid's cards and left them around. Of course I saved them. When I told Audrey about it, she said her father started that tradition. And the singing birthday songs. David said he and Julia left a singing message for Audrey today. Nice touch.
Jeremy got up late today (lack of backup alarms) and we are both pretty tired. Hopefully Ketzl will let me sleep in. Not sure if I'll be up at 6:45 when he leaves in the morning. Christine promised to be over again to walk (we are extending the time each day). Tomorrow my goal is to make it to the office by 10 AM for staff meeting. A first since I'm back to work. I have been pretty slow in the mornings...one thing and another. Not pushing, just trying. Plans set for going to LA this weekend. That will be good. It's been a while.
Ketzl is looking around...maybe he thinks it's time for bed. And maybe he's right.
