A very full day

I have lots to say about the heat pump installation process, but I also need to get to sleep early for tomorrow’s duct cleaning. The gist is – the heat pump installation was completed today, although they didn’t start cooling my house until around 5:30 pm and didn’t leave until 5:50 pm, which meant that I had to make D’s birthday apple pie and wrap his gifts in the 85-degree heat, and which also meant that since I had to shower after they left, I didn’t make it on time to the pre-concert talk for Kim’s first string quartet appearance since leaving Delgani a year ago. Tonight she performed Shaw, Mozart, and Mendelssohn with three local musicians, including our mutual friend Julia, who played at our wedding. I also got to chat with SDH during the intermission.

Anyway, after that, I shopped briefly at Market of Choice then came home to host D & S for D’s birthday celebration. He opened the gifts and we ate about half the pie, and we chatted a bunch about One Piece and their upcoming trip, and we also spent a while looking for his birth certificate and passport. Once they left, I suddenly realized that we had only 15 minutes to complete our weekly Safeway shopping, so we rushed out and did that.

Tomorrow’s big challenge – getting all four cats into carriers and taking them out of the house before the noisy duct cleaning process, and then do my best to get back into my usual routine. At least I get to sleep in my own bed tonight!

Good luck with the cat wrangling. I hope all goes well tomorrow.

Thanks. Poor Geordi is so easily alarmed that I haven't tried picking him up in years - he's the one I'm most concerned about. Oh well, in a few minutes I'll know what happens.

At least it's just about there!

So much summer drama! I can't express how great it was to just lie there in the warm shade yesterday evening.

Yes it does sound like a very full day. I am happy for you that is over with!

Thank you! I am still recovering - and I learned today that D's passport probably still is here, so that will mean some hunting later.
