A fresh shiny new wet Monday

We had a slight taste of what things may be like when we'll all be getting ready for work in the morning. Just a taste.
N has this week off, but the two of us took F in for a PT appointment at 9 (well, as close to 9 as we could manage). There was too much competition for the bathroom for F to get in as soon as she needed, unfortunately. Good to have a head's up before the dress rehearsal.
She had enough energy after pool therapy to shop at Costco and Petco. I was surprised after her busy day yesterday and the rest of the week. She's sound asleep on the couch now.
I felt so bad leaving Gwen and Randy with all those dishes and the rest of the mess last night. It is good to spend time with them, though. And I'm glad they do all that for us.
L & J are in Portland for interviews today. J learned the important lesson of not sitting in the Hyundai and listening to the radio this morning. The battery isn't strong enough to handle that, plus the headlights go on when someone is in the car with the key on. I'm glad Norm was around to take their call.

Time for sleep, please

L and I made a trip with Reggie's help up to Beaverton for an interview this morning. They called her back with a possible job as an administrative assistant at an engineering firm in the Portland area. She returns on Monday for an interview with the firm and J has an interview in Portland that afternoon.
She and I stopped at Bridgeport on the way home. We misunderstood and thought there was a Title Nine at the mall, but I found out later from F it's a store LIKE Title Nine named Lucy. Dang! I hate to waste a good trip! We went to REI as long as we were there, but they didn't have one single dress.
J repaired our laptop while we were gone. Yay! Now to get the plug thing fixed by HP. Hopefully, they don't screw the new fix up.

If it's moldy, toss it out

I sure hope someone takes some video of Emma and Izzy playing together. I've only heard F's stories of the two of them racing up and down the stairs and Izzy being completely cowed by Allie - not knowing how to play with such a big dog. F also told us how she and J went into the co-op, leaving Izzy on the floor of the car, returned and couldn't find her anywhere. She had climbed up and into their coats on the backseat. I wonder if all those windows and activity of the parking lot were a bit frightening? Or maybe she was just tired.
Darn rain! Cowed me into staying home rather than going to the Wednesday Market. I wanted to do a test of people, booths and produce with the video camera. Oh and buy some herbs and vegetables, too.

Monday

Pretty funny, I went to get my haircut this morning and Karyn asked where I parked, "um, in back?"
"Oops! Sorry! You can't park back there, it's for employees only. It would be okay if it was Saturday."
I knew this, but - Oh crumb! It's not Saturday?? I'm not sure how I made that leap. It had been a fairly typical Monday morning; up with the alarm, making breakfast, saying goodbye to N as we left for work. We both had a good laugh over that one.
By the time I returned home, F's clothes were pretty well packed. I just needed to pack Izzy's things and some provisions for the girl. I'm so glad the week stayed clear and the stars lined up so she could spend some time with Jon - even if it will be a busy time for him.
While L & J drove F down to Roseburg, I cleaned house a bit and did their laundry and then spent way too long trying to solve the mystery of how to get the videos from the camera to the PC and maybe begin the process of learning to edit.
Why must technology be so difficult at times?? I do like the challenge and to learn new things, but I would also appreciate a little "universalism" as far as formats and features go.
Oh google, where are you when I need you?? ;>)
