Week in the Life | Tuesday

Coffee please

Breakfast. A little over done

I can’t handle the early starts without coffee. I will stare at the pot sometimes just waiting for it to finish.

Can't see him again

They boys play while I start to scramble to get ready

Work meeting assembling

Big start to the academic year. I had to give a presentation and was very very nervous. So I didn’t get many pictures today.

Working lunch

Partially because of the meeting, I ended up working through lunch. Not a great way to go through the day – I ended up getting pretty fried.

Knit night

Thankfully knit night means hanging with my great group.

The chewer

Sometime after 11 I ended up catching this guy chewing on the blinds. No matter how hard we try to keep the strings away from them, they find a way to bring them down. I think they think it’s a game.

Week in the Life | Monday

Breakfast

Semi-new routine in the mornings has me making breakfast first thing at about 5:10 a.m. I can’t talk that early, but I can make breakfast.

Ginny

Ginny is usually looking out the window in the morning, but she was hanging out on the big cat tree.
Hiding
And one of the boys was “hiding.”

New car

Biggest thing this week is my new car. The whole thing was finalized over the weekend and this my first day of driving it to work.

Commute

Requisite self-portrait of me in the driver’s seat.

Working

Work set up: so much to do. My wallpaper is one of Mario’s pictures of a giraffe we fed at the San Diego Zoo.

The view from my workplace. You can see smoke from the Mt. Diablo fire across the bay. We’ve had a really dry year and this is early for “fire season.”

The cactus fruit look ripe in the garden. I may be brave enough to pick a couple. I’ve eaten them before but only in Mexico. And somebody else removed the needles and skin.

I often sit in my car at lunch for a break. And the new car has a fancy dash that shows the outside temperature. (I know most people have had this for a while, but my old car didn’t) It is waaay too hot for my comfort these days.

More work.

Dinner
Dinner time with Sazzy at the local taqueria.

Ginny helping
Getting ready for bed, and noticed Ginny “helping” with the laundry.

A few notes looking at these, I think of the pictures I “missed.” Sazzy and I did some sketching after dinner, and I got to visit with her great doggies. I should have taken those shots.
