Long Day, deep thoughts

Work: the meeting started at 10 am. I just got out at 4:15 pm. I snagged a cookie and 1/2 rice crispie treat to take to my boss. We meet at 5pm. sigh.

So much for getting a work out in before road trip.

Deep thoughts:
Anyway, I watched "Saving Private Ryan" last night. Probably for the 2nd time in a month since it's running on HBO. I should have been in bed because it started at 1 am-ish, but I always get hooked on that scene where they are writing the condolence letters and the typist starts to scurry around and gather up the Ryan boys' letters.

Here I sit...

The plan changed. We are heading out at o-dark-thirty in the morning. The drivers are too tired to drive.

Anyway, it looks like the investment of back-breaking effort into the front yard paid off. The weeds, which were popping up in no time previously have been absent. yay! woot woot!

The hands are healing slowly. I'm fascinated to see how the flesh grows over the wounds to close them. Gripping motions, like do for opening jars and bottles, still crack them open. But at least I can type without pain and ooze.
