Vacation, Day Two

I'd taken this week off when we thought that Son had no camp this week (silly Honey miscalculated and he's still in camp). Day One was lost to a migraine that wasn't the most painful (and grateful I am for that) but still caused enough mental fog that I spent the day mainly sleeping. It left during the night, so when I woke this morning, I was back to my chipper self.

So, this AM, Son walked the dogs and then requested that he be allowed to walk to camp from home. Bye, dear! I perused emails, worked out on the Wii Fit, shopped a bit, and went over to the Red Cross to donate blood. For that effort, I got a bottle of juice and a t-shirt -- and an excuse not to work too hard for the rest of the day. Oh, I plan to clear out the closet so I can get started on the new shelving unit..but I'm just out of energy right now. I should be better later.

Soon, I have to pick up the Son from camp and the sandwiches from the deli. Son has a Scout meeting and Honey has another one of her all-important church meetings at the same time (luckily, in the same location), so after dinner I'll watch them leave the house again.

Ah, but vasectomies are fun. They're dead easy to do (channeling Eddie Izzard: "easy-peasy!"). Now I've taught two more veterinarians how to do this lovely little surgery, and more male monkeys can be housed safely with female monkeys without the unwanted sounds of little feet pitter-pattering throughout.

Then we walked down into Georgetown and had a lovely lunch, after which I had a leisurely drive home (although the leisureliness was unintended).

This Temeraire is better again -- more action (!), more intrigue (!!), and I haven't got past the invasion of London yet. Dinner intruded.

I do know quite a bit of Greek roots in English (thanks to a college professor of English), so I am not a total heathen.. ;-)Someday I'll have the time to devote to those languages again.
