Starting Tuesday

I've got to get my day started. Here it is, after 10 a.m., and I've done so little. In my former life I would have been up for hours, already well underway at work. And here? Zip. Didn't even exercise — I guess two days in a row would be too much for me. The landscape guys have come and gone; now I'm just waiting for the tree removal. I've read the Lafayette paper online, read some e-mail. Not much to show for mid-morning.

I have a ton of errands to take care of today. Sylvia has gymnastics, Maddie has the band visit at the middle school. Gilmore Girls season finale later. I need to return some stuff to the mall, buy stamps, mail some bills.

I am off to Lafayette for the weekend — my friend J. has a big birthday (which number, in the interest of privacy, I will not reveal — though it's not a big secret). It will be nice to get away for a bit, visit friends, see the Jeff High School spring show, take care of some left over business. Then I'll come home early on Mothers Day ... and an hour later Gary will leave for a week in Germany. Such is the life of a Cat executive. However, he is taking some time off for my birthday, when my brother and his significant other visit. Should be fun.

I am going to hire a gardener today. Check that off the list, anyway.

Time to dive into Tuesday. Later!
