Tonight was about sending off a good staff person to a whole new life – becoming a student again.  She will do well.  There is no doubt of that in my mind even if it is tough and a bit scary to go back to school.  So we had a staff barbeque in her honor.  We ate and drank well. 

Then we sat around the firepit and talked. Stories and jokes and talk.  Good times.  Really good times together.  There is something special about sitting around a fire on a cool evening.

And we got to know our newest staff member and her man.  I think it will be good having her as part of the group.

I am sitting here going over the days events.  Lots of stuff happened.  Some fairly significant things, size wise, grad present sort of things. 

Sara has her car.  She took Leo shopping and from there it all sort of happened fast.  She is getting to the point of needing a car, if need is the right word, to get from school to work to soccer,etc.  Now she will need to work to pay for the car, at least the upkeep and the gas and licence.  I think she will find out that cars make you a slave to work.  So, one sort of golden Cavalier is out there somewhere and will come home tonight to sleep here.

I get my vehicle back.  A vehicle for myself that I can use any time I want – or need.  But I think I will keep riding to work at least three days a week.  I can use the exercise and it is only a few minutes away.  I will supplement my riding to work exercise by other regular rides, hopefully another three times a week.  So, tonight I rode up to the church again to practice.

When I got home, Rachelle was here.  She and a friend are taking off to some lake north of here for a couple days of camping.  She is looking fairly pregnant but well.  She says she gets tired so fast.  I think that is to be expected.

Earlier tonight I had a meeting with one of my business partners.  We own property and needed to discuss plans for the future.  So for the second time in one week I had supper at Amy’s.  The Tilapia was superbe but I still did not get my cheesecake.  I think maybe I need to just go for the cheesecake – no other food to kill my appetite beforehand.  The cheesecake needs its own place – it is so good that to tack it onto the end of an already filling meal is just not right.

I think that getting the extra sleep last night really paid off.  I felt a lot better today.  So here it is 10:30 pm already and I was going to get lots of sleep tonight too – but time has flown and so there go my good plans to be in bed by 9:30. 

Tonight I did manage to get in a bike ride.  Rode up the bit of hill to the church where I spent about an hour practicing my bass – still stored there till our house renovation is finished. 

And good news on our kitchen – the cupboards should be in on Friday and the countertops then can be installed early next week.  David is up this weekend to work some more on the baseboards and stuff.  So i am thinking that by next weekend I may be moving back in.  I am so ready for things to get back to normal around here. 

And I am heading off to bed trying to get some more of that healing sleep.

For the past two months I seem to have had a new cold just about every two weeks.  I will get over one – just – and there is another one beginning.

This morning when I woke up I thought I was fine.  
A bit tired maybe, but otherwise no sign of a cold.

Then I got to work and had a scratchy throat; had a coughing fit that I had to leave a patient for and tonight I feel fairy lousy. 

I think I need to go to bed and get some rest.

At least since I had supper at Amy’s tonight – with Leo since he had a free supper as sort of an afterparty for the accreditation the group from the health district did this afternoon  – I do not have to haul a tub of dirty dishes up to our bathroom to wash them.

And my new countertops are ready to be installed.  Now I need the cabinets to install them on.  Always waiting for something it seems.  Everything is being held up by the cabinet doors.  But surely it can’t take too much longer.  Please. 

I am getting tired of this sort of pseudocamping.

I do need some sleep.  Goodnight.
