Just me and the cats

It's a nocturnal moment. Nobody stirring except me and the cats, and they aren't moving too fast. Fell asleep in my chair after a very long day at the end of a hard week. Woke with the need to go to the bathroom and then not ready to go back to sleep.

Amanda has started back to work this week. Sue will be watching Nathan on Fridays, when she has her regular weekly day off. Yesterday was his first day here, but I didn't get to see him since I left for work before he arrived and didn't get home until he was gone again.

It's supposed to be like August here this weekend..hot and humid. There have been only 3 days that hit 90 so far this summer, so we really can't kick.

Work has been a bit draining lately. As happens with system implementations, we've reached that point where's there's no return and our reaction is, "OMG! What have we done?!!!" We had an all day meeting with the software vendor and our key staff this Thursday and hammered out solutions for show stoppers. We'll get through this and be better for it, but I'm surely getting too old for this stuff. At least the long day Friday will mean I don't need to spend most of the weekend working.

We will be having contractors back at the house soon. The carpenters will be back to install venting for the kitchen vent fan (they couldn't go through the roof when there was snow on it). Then we will call the floor guy back in to have him refinish the back half of the house.

Sue and I will be taking vacation in October. The current plan is to go see Colonial Williamsburg. Plans are in the very early stages; no specifics just yet. We've thought about driving since we haven't seen much of the eastern part of the U.S. But, since it's a 14-hour drive each way, we also think it might be kind of dumb to take 4 days of seven just getting to and from our destination.
