A Long (And Productive) Day


I wasn’t really intending today to be as productive as it ended up being. That might sound a bit odd (and admittedly it is), but I got quite a few things done (namely at work) for being a Monday. I guess things just clicked. Of course, the fact that I spent the entire day at the office helps that factor, I suppose. 🙂

Beth spent most of the day correcting papers again, for what apparently is a Wednesday deadline. Kirstin helped out some as well…spending most of her day on the couch next to Mom. I have some pictures that Beth took on Flickr of her laid out on the couch. Good times.

It was a fairly warm day today, although I thought that personally yesterday (Sunday) was warmer. I think the breeze really did it for me. Ah well, it is March, after all…some weird weather is inevitable. We had some killer fog last night that started rolling in around dusk (I got some pictures of it). I ended up getting up in the middle of the night and during the span of my bathroom trip at that time (somewhere around 4am), I couldn’t hardly see across the yard. But, by the time I actually got out of bed (when Kirstin finally woke up around 7:30), the sun was shining mightily and had burned off pretty much all the fog.

I ended up spending some time on the couch with my girls this evening, which was a welcome change. Really didn’t take any new pictures (aside from the obligatory daily picture), but that’s alright. There wasn’t much to take pictures of this evening. A few people to whom I’ve mentioned the daily picture thing really like the idea [of the daily picture]. Of course, one of these people is a gal who is 85 now, I believe, and just had forty years worth of 8mm home videos converted to DVD. She understands the neatness (after the fact) of recording things. I only watched part of one DVD today (which spanned from about 1952-1963), but it was amazing stuff. Some parts more interesting than others, but really neat to see nonetheless. I love Cleone — she’s awesome. Just like another grandma, really.

I printed a few sets of pictures this evening, mostly for distribution to a select set of people. I intended to do it over the weekend, but a few of these will be hand-delivered tomorrow (Tuesday), so the need wasn’t there to absolutely print them until tonight. Good times. I’m glad I actually get a little usage out of the color photo printer (which, oddly enough, I bought to use on a theatre project years ago) once in a while.

Anyway, that brings us to the now. Time to head for bed and call it a day. I’ve got a meeting to attend tomorrow evening, so I’ll likely not be home until later tomorrow night. While that’s alright, it makes for a long day when it’s said and done. I’m glad I don’t have evening meetings very often. 🙂

So, until next time…
