Another one of those weeks!

As I wrote last week, Sunday evening caused a ramp up of energy and emotion to prepare for the special Sunday evening event. 

What I had not realized because I was focused on preparing for my role and presentation was that there was a series of "must do" events set for the balance of the week.  And, a two-day all-day offsite to start our annual planning cycle.  Just a lot of work!   

Saturday was ACT's "Tales of the City".  A fantastic bit of theater and musical.  If you have a chance, please, please go see it.  Click here to visit ACT.  I wrote about my daughter's visit in early May, I mentioned we had attended a reading by Armistead Maupin of his new book. He is the author of "Tales" and he was a joy to hear.  Well, I attend a Saturday series that includes an optional luncheon for donors to the theater.  I decided to attend the luncheon on Saturday and Armistead was the featured speaker.  He is just a kick, full of life and absolutely funny! 

The Tuesday grief group program has terminated per the normal practice of Pathways. So, my group has decided that we should continue to meet unofficially and informally.  We have three Tuesdays planned for this month and the first will be held at my place.  I spent a good portion of today cleaning the deck in case the weather cooperates and we can eat outside.  Tomorrow the Maids clean the inside of the house so things should be absolutely perfect for my guests. 

Shawna keeps rolling along! No drama this week although she has started her old behavior of barking and dancing when its dinner time.  She stopped doing that some time ago.  To see her doing her old "high energy" pre-meal ceremony is heartwarming.  (Think of the comic strip "Peanuts" and the dance that Snoopy does as Charlie Brown brings the feeding bowl.) Both dogs have been good and I have only had to clean up one wet spot when we had a touch of rain earlier in the week.  

I am still having my massage on Friday evenings. If you need a massage, please call or contact Ingrid at Massage Rescue (click here). She is a miracle worker!  If you do visit the website, you also will see I have a second career! 

This coming week is more normal at work, if we only knew what "more normal" was!

Ciao!
