Big sigh. TG I am not a commuter. I spent yesterday at a conference in Marietta. It took me more than two hours to drive each way. Why intelligent people would tolerate the traffic is beyond me. In the morning, I did not get going until almost 7:30 and it was after 9:30 when I arrived. (Among other things, I really had to use the bathroom when I got there). The meetings were good, but not good enough to be worth the drive. I left at 4:00 before the session was over to try to beat it, but sat for more than 30 minutes inching along from 285 turning onto 85 North. No accident, just steady regular traffic. That is not okay, people. It's crazy. The waste of gas, time, energy spent on roads!

Mom had put the quiche in the oven that I had taken out of the freezer. Ray cooked the asparagus and heated some sweet potato from the freezer. The quiche was not that good, so I will not make it again, but it was nice to have dinner ready. I spent my evening reading over knitting books and finishing my packing. I switched the middle-sized suitcase for a bigger one. No reason we really have to travel light, since we are not flying.

I wanted to charge my phone one last time and saw that I had missed two calls. I wish people would call my home phone when I am home. One was from Peggy on the Nominating Committee, so then I checked my email to find that the committee (except me) is more or less unanimous on a Treasurer that I do not think is a good choice. Unfortunately, we have contacted about 50  people who all turned it down...so I don't have an alternative to propose. This got me charged up, and, along with worrying about the trip and the work I need to get done today, made it impossible for me to go to sleep until around midnight. Then Ray woke up at 4:30. Jeez. Maybe I will be able to sleep on the train tonight.

I don't know if I will be posting every day for the next week.
