Shhh
I could use a blank week in my Day Planner.
First off, we had a marvelous vacation. Couldn’t have asked for better. And it rained 75% of the time. So go figure.
The Wednesday after, Tom’s grandfather died. It was not unexpected. And the man Tom misses was already gone; taken with diseases both physical and mental.
If our pet sitter’s car hadn’t been repo’ed with our keys inside, it actually would have been a nice visit with his family. Instead it was freaking out at 11pm (pet sitter/friend has many health conditions and all of her medicine was at our hosue), driving out earlier than planned, then sitting around stewing that our keys are gone.
Our keys are still gone. And I’m still stewing. I have tried to wait for the friend to get them back, because I do not feel like going down to the impound lot and demanded property from a car I have no claim to. But I’ve called the police to ensure I have the right to ask for them, and I do. Now I just have to muster the strength to do so.
Now, we are in the weekends of doing. Last weekend, it was Chihuly and The Columbia with old college friends of mine. Plus a cat capture (stray living nearby) and subsequent de-masculizing of said cat. This weekend, it is a bowl-a-thon for the nonprofit we have fostered with. Next weekend, I am hosting a seminar with the nonprofit. The following weekend, I am tentatively scheduled to drive up to a close primate sanctuary and do a group work day. The weekend after that, my brother and SIL arrive.
I hope I survive to enjoy their visit.
