It's not even 5:30 yet, and I've been up for over an hour. Some idiot called here at 4 in the morning--a wrong number, I assume. He (or she) did not say anything--just static on the line. Then called back a couple minutes later--still nothing--jeez! Then I started thinking about everything I have to do in the next few days and how much nicer it was to be at the beach with not a care in the world!

Not that the things I have to do are unpleasant. I will be working this morning and then going to lunch with good friends and relatives. Seder dinner at UUFA tonight--but first I have to buy and prepare potatoes for 35 people and show up early to set up. and I have to figure out how Art is getting here. And make sure his room is ready.

We registered for the Run/Walk tomorrow morning--8 am. Not prepared--I was supposed to do a lot of walking this week to build up for it...Molli leaves tomorrow night--boo hoo! And by Sunday noon I have to do some cooking--rolls, dessert, quiche. I have lots of ideas, but not sure I want to spend all day Saturday cooking. Hmm, it doesn't sound so bad, now that I've written it all out...

Yesterday I worked some. M. and I have pretty much got the DCA grant ready. I spent probably an hour trying to find us on the floodplain map and print it out. And the Board president has to sign it today. She is notorious for not coming when she says she will. Then we have to number the pages and photocopy it. I might read it over one time this morning to see if there is anything that needs changing.

I met Ray and Molli for lunch and it was delicious. I went back to work and waited for Molli to come pick me up--and waited--and waited. Then we went to Borders and came on home. The Captain was in the garden--it was over 80 degrees, sunny and hot. He had been to the dump and gotten a load of manure. He had shoveled some of it out, I took a turn, and Molli finished it up. Good for the garden, but this time it's really fresh and stinky. And will have to sit a while before we can use it. Then I watered some.

Molli prepped the butternut squash and made daiquiris with frozen strawberries--delicious. Ray got home before 7:30 from Democratic Committee meeting and we ate. Watched some TV and knitted some and started falling asleep about 9:30.
