watching the vacationers

Quiet weekend. Everyone is out of town or busy with people visiting from other places this week. We are home with no plans other than working on the various projects we have put off for weeks. Very hot and steamy today between a blistering sun and spotty storms. My glasses fog up the moment I walk outside. Made it to a couple of groceries to stock up on snacks for the week ahead. Tomorrow should be more of the same type of weather with a high of 94 predicted with more occassional thunder storms.

The platter of fresh pears I have in the kitchen is half its size now after I've eaten and shared them at work all week. I should have made a photo of the original arrangement I made with them. I hope I am able to bring home more of them next weekend. They are quiet good, hard and crisp and sweet.

busy again

The last two weeks have been spent working again at the same company I was at last month. I could not be happier. The company is vital and the co-workers are splendid. I am crossing my fingers and toes that this work keeps up for me. Tonight will be a bit of a push because it is Harry Potter Night at Rancho de WereMonster and tickets were purchased serveral weeks ago... before I rejoined the workforce. I had hoped I would be able to get a nap in before going to the midnight movie with friends but I am too wired from a long work day. I will just have to take my vitamins tonight and tomorrow and hope for the best performance on my part. My brain has to be on for what I do for a living so it's hard to muscle through if there is a sleep deprivation issue. Then again, if memory serves me right, the need to make up sleep never hits the first day. It is always 48 hours later when I feel like I haven't had enough rest and those days will be over the (hopefully) very relaxed weekend.
