I like 4-day weekends.
Today feels like an extra day, but that is because yesterday was a day where I feel like I accomplished at least a few things.
1. Finished pinning out the critters (at least so far).
2. Found a calendar for Carl to use to keep track of his work hours. Not a big thing, just necessary. I plan to take the picture calendar supplied by the Marquis to work where it will be on display for others to marvel at.
3. Played Quirkle with Ashlan, and despite all appearances that she was winning, and the fact that I am a lousy scorekeeper, I prevailed. Ashlan was totalling up the score at the end, and discovered I had 3 more point totals listed than she did. Hmmmm. Well I started first and ended – which gives you an extra 6 points, so that accounted for 2 of the 3. Thankfully my winning margin was 11 points, which meant that unless I missed one of her Quirkles (unlikely) I would still have prevailed. If you like to play games at all, Quirkle is pretty fun. It is like Scrabble and Set combined.
4. Ate a really good dinner that Ashlan put together. A Greek salad and honey ginger chicken.
5. Did a jigsaw puzzle. Carl started it and he and I finished it, although not until the infomercials were on. It was a picture of a jumble of Christmas ornaments. Really quite challenging.
In retrospect, just an ordinary day, but it was nice to have an ordinary day without the prospect of having to arise early. Thanks for the extra weekend day.
Today’s goals. New shoes for walking. Watch a little Seahawks football with the girl. Drive the girl back north. Figure to spend a few hours at the crossing. Drive back south. Pray for a short crossing, but plan for a long one. Try to get to bed before the infomercials start.
