Back to Normal?

Classes start at UGA today, although Ray doesn't teach until tomorrow. He is getting up at 5:30 and walking for an hour in the dark and cold, so he can get his exercise in and be ready to go when I leave for work. That way I can drop him at his office or he can catch the bus.

Went to a workshop about some new grants using stimulus money. It was pretty cold in the meeting room at the library. It is hard to explain what made me so cross about the process. One of the things is the people in charge are not any more qualified than I am. I applied for one of those jobs and didn't even get an acknowledgment. They are requiring every applicant to do this complicated on line assessment. I can't answer some of the questions without the board and they haven't responded to my emails. It is not a huge amount of money ($5000-$30000) and the process is pretty difficult. I guess if the board does not help, I can't apply. No word on a new director...

Between routine work and the 2 hour workshop, it was 2:00 before I knew it. More end of year donations to deposit. Ray and I went to the Ramsey Center gym at UGA and played a little moderate racquetball, just one game to 11. I was nervous about my back, but wanted exercise. Then we walked 4 laps on the indoor track. It is still really cold here, 25 this morning.

Came home and didn't do much, on the computer. Went to potluck and enjoyed dinner with Amber's children. She is the choir director and has a 2 year old and a baby. The younger one is very loud and demanding--she tried to grab food from her parents' plates and howled whenever they walked away. The rest of the family is very quiet and shy. It just made me laugh.

I enjoyed singing, but dropped my music once because I was falling asleep. Came home, read a little, went to bed.
