Rain Likely

Hey Folks- It’s been a few days. Hope everyone’s doing well! Here’s a quick recap of my week. Ready?

• Monday- Get back from 10 days in Ireland, and 5 in Mississippi. Realize that I have a lot of work to do between now and August 30. Oh, and btw, I’m teaching a 4 day training seminar next week. Probably ought work on that some.
• Monday Night- Had a going away dinner for one of Auburn’s interns that I’ve become good friends with this year. I ate the snapper…it was really good. But, that makes the 3rd friend I’ve had to say goodbye to in the past month. This time of year’s always been bad for that…I seem to always make really great friends who always seem to move away in May or June. Sad. Before KK left, she gave me a really cool collage of tons of pictures we all took together…that meant a lot.
• Tuesday Morning- The really good snapper wasn’t so good after all. I threw up at 6:30am and felt better. I was fully awake at that point, so I went in to work at 7:15 to submit a project I had due. Finished the project at 8:15, and was back home throwing up again at 8:30. Dang you snapper. I stayed home until just after lunch, then made it back to work for a few hours.

  To finish the day off, I went and bought some Dunkin’ Donuts coffee for in the morning. When I got home to set up the coffee maker, I realized that I bought the whole beans, not the grounds. Do I look like someone who would have a coffee grinder-johnson? Don’t answer that. Well I don’t have a coffee grinder-johnson, so I went without coffee Wednesday.

• Wednesday- Wednesday got ugly, probably partly because of a lack of coffee. I had several technical issues at work that led to some serious frustration. Days like this are expected in August & September, but not June. The sun set on Wednesday with a deadline looming, and no solution in sight. I drove to Newnan to spend the night…I wanted to check on the house, and needed to run a couple of errands for Dad.
• Thursday- After driving back to Auburn from Newnan, it was straight to work on a solution to our technical issues. Magically, things were working 100% within a few hours. We made deadline by several hours, and nobody even knew that it was ever in question.
  I celebrated by getting a snow cone (Banana w/ Cream, of course) and washing my car. Hear that Alex? I washed my car tonight…go ahead and tell people it’s going to rain.
• This Weekend- So this weekend hasn’t exactly happened yet, but I’m pretty excited about it. Tomorrow I’m going to ride up to Atlanta and take Goob’s computer to the Apple store to get fixed. While I’m there, I’m hoping I’ll get a chance to play with my new phone. Then I’m going to Decatur to do dinner with several friends. The rest of the weekend will likely be spent helping Andy & Anne move to their new house. They’re pretty sure their old one is going to be sold in the very near future…they just have to work out the details (Congrats y’all!).

Ok…so that’s my week. From talking with Mom & them, Nee Nee seems to be doing better…she’s living in their apartment in Jackson for the time being. And don’t worry, I know I still owe you the story of how her & my grandfather met. For another time.

Love y’all!
