Last Day of Vacation

[logisticslad]

I've been working on repainting my bathroom, which seems like a never ending project. This week, I patched a number of the divots in the wall, recoated everything with primer, located the paint that I had bought almost three years ago, and put on a coat. The good news is that I still like the icy blue color. The bad news is that it needs another coat. Sigh. Someday, I will finish this project, I just hope I can get it done sooner than later. I'm pretty tired of it.

My cats have been pretty mellow since I started the Feliway, although they have still had several bouts of hissing, it seems like their much less into it than they used to be. They have been able to sit close enough to each other that I can pet them both. So it is definitely making an impact, slowly but steadily.

I got together with several friends last night and we watched The Lion in Winter. It's an awesome movie with Katharine Hepburn, Peter O'Toole, and a young Anthony Hopkins and Timothy Dalton. It was fun to see it again. I had worked on the play when I was in college with my dear friend Jack, who has since died, and so I had weird dreams last night remembering him.

The Swarthmore Alumni group in Philly is having a BBQ nearby this afternoon and I think I'll stop by and see if I know anyone there.

I am so not looking forward to returning to work tomorrow. I can see that I will be spending all week catching up from having been away.

Well, the Alumnia BBQ turned out to be fun. I finall met my teaching boss' crotchety new husband, whom I knew was a Swarthmore grad (she was home with the kids). I also met a fellow alum from UPenn Pharmacology, who started grad school after I was done, but knew some of the same people. It was a lovely day for a BBQ and the event was a success, despite the group of dirt bike riders who insisted on motoring up and down the street for most of the afternoon. Thanks to eclectic_boy for organizing it!
