Tuesday, all day
Dolly & I did a good amount of traveling on Sunday - we went to see the in-laws first, out in Pinehurst. They were glad to see the dog, and some of the residents enjoyed seeing her, but Dolly hated that place. She whined and tried to tell me she wanted to get out of there right away, the whole time we were there. Poor kid. Doris did recognize her - she's known Dolly as long as she's known me, so Dolly sticks in her mind. I feel bad for Doris - she doesn't recognize anything in her environment except her husband, and she probably never will. She's not making any more memories, so she can't learn her way around. Awful.
After seeing the in-laws, we stopped to see Mom & Phil in Durham briefly on our way to Raleigh, to visit with Renee, Erica, and Kevin. We had a great time, as usual, and Erica really enjoyed meeting Dolly. Everyone loves my Dolly.
I had to work at a program in eastern NC on Monday morning, so I was at the office before 6:30 am. It's a 90 minute drive, and I needed to be there by 8 am, hence the early start. It went well, and I only had to stay a couple of hours. I left work early that afternoon to run a couple of errands, and fool fashion, I went into Home Depot to look for something. The triumph of hope over experience. I left there cussing, as I always do. (The only things I can buy there are bedding plants, because I don't have to go inside.)
We have Independence Day off from work, and I'm taking Monday, too. At least, I think I am - it depends on what kind of foolishness is happening at work. David and I are thinking of going to the beach for an hour (which is as much as I can manage), then heading to Wilmington for lunch and antiquing. He will study all the way down there and back, I'm sure, but at least he's taking a little time off. This Russian class consumes all his time and energy.
Nothing else much of interest around here. Just working a short week and getting a few things done around the house.
