Quiet, Hot, Not so busy

It's been a quiet weekend here in the Bubble.

Byron went to a conference in Austin then on to the ranch where he met Mark and Megan. The prospect of being even hotter than Dallas and being stuck doing the bed making, laundry, cooking and cleaning didn't appeal. I stayed at home and worked on a Directory (the first one for a large organization - so lots of bits and pieces). I think it is basically done, if people would just stop moving, marrying, changing their names, resigning and dying!

I helped clear up stuff at the Library, enjoying having our old Director back as an interim. Tried to eat healthy and do 20 minutes a day on the Wii. (That tennis is addictive, but I haven't made it to 900 yet. My Wii Sports age yesterday was 29!)

Projects for next week:
*Figure out clothes for the cruise. I told a friend we were cruising and she gave me some solid advice - "Your clothes don't need a vacation. Leave most of them at home. You'll never see most of the people on the cruise again - they won't care if they see you in the same outfit more than once." She had other good advice: take snack bars and spend time looking at the sights, not having a mediocre meal that lasts three hours; put your name and numbers on the top of your packed stuff in your suitcase, so they can find you if the bag gets lost; take extra camera and watch batteries; if you see something you like, buy it - you probably won't see it again.
* Finish up the Directory and don't tell anyone we're not going to print for a month.
* Work on the backyard. The grass is mostly dead. It's time to put in a ground cover.
* Think about getting the shingles vaccine. Dr. Armstrong said to get it from CVS - cheaper there than at his office. Side effects?
* Worry about whether I sprained my kneecap by slipping on a sweet gum ball while getting out of the car and hitting it on the edge of the door. I'm icing it, but it will sure be sore tomorrow.
* Learn how to work the camera Byron brought me back from Austin.
* Resist eating all the delicious-smelling German bread he also brought.
* Hope the guys from AT&T show up to do the transition from Charter tomorrow at 8 a.m.
