Exciting news--AAHS has a new director! I met her yesterday morning. She seems energetic and smart and I think we will get along well. If anything, we are too much alike. She has been Development Director at a Food Bank in Austin, TX, has her MSW and her M. Div. Her husband is an MBA student at UGA and they will be looking for an apartment and trying to use one car.

I had trouble focusing after that. I gave her a copy of the grant I have been working on and decided not to do anything more on that until she looks it over and we can talk on Tuesday. She wanted to come in on Monday, even after I said it was a holiday, but finally said there wouldn't be much point if I wasn't there. I moved some of my things from her desk back to mine, like my children's picture. And copied stuff from her computer to mine. Talked briefly with E. from HED about one of my grant proposals, which I also need to discuss with M. (new director) next week. Went to the bank.

Ray couldn't leave until almost 5 and the traffic was slow. Vanessa was still a little groggy from her colonoscopy and the Captain tired and stressed. But he had put the pot roast on and I added the carrots and potatoes, so we had a great dinner after a while. To complicate things, our vendor of shrimp had called that afternoon and the Captain had to go meet him to pick up shrimp and scallops. They are very good quality, large and fresh, but not cheap. We enjoy having good seafood in the freezer, though, to add to our meal preparation options. He had to spend some time repacking them in 1-pound bags.

Read a little, watched TV, went to bed. Slept well. Still cold here (23 this morning), but sunny during the day and up to 60.
