When I got off work yesterday, I was too pumped by the sunshine to go back indoors and swim. Instead, I went home, changed clothes, and opened all the windows. I cranked up the music and just relaxed for a while. After I had some dinner, I called my friend and asked if he wanted some company walking his dogs. He said he would and I walked over to his place and we took his two puppies for a walk. Or rather, the dogs attempted to drag us around the neighborhood. I had a nice time, then walked back home in the dark. It was such a nice evening I almost hated to go back inside.
When it was time for my shower, I opened the door to the bathroom that leads out onto the roof. I had the hall light on, but the bathroom light off – so, it’s unlikely that anyone could see me. Not that I really cared, it was too nice to be cooped up, even for my shower. I slept with the windows open and was grateful that springtime was finally here.
It was raining this morning when I got up, but that didn’t really dampen my spirits. No, that didn’t happen until I was actually at work. I had a nasty bit of paperwork to fill out that took most of my morning. I very nearly ran out of bullshit – and I had always thought I had an inexhaustible supply. I got through it, worked on several other projects, and even kept our student assistant busy. Which can be tough to do since he’s really fast with our various websites.
I swam after work – 30 laps – then Jeff’s sister started blowing up my phone. She left two messages while I was swimming and then called again once I was done. No new information and nearly unintelligible on the messages. She used to call Jeff all the time – I’m hoping she’s not going to try and transfer that to me. Especially when she’s been drinking. I’m pretty patient when it’s important, but I’ve also got some pretty serious limits.
So, I’m meeting with Jeff’s family on Sunday. Bright and early – which roughly translates to 10, their time. Going to be a long day.
