May, Finals and All The Family's Together

I missed yesterday, but don't know why.  Too busy again, I guess.

Well, it is May.  Finally.  We had a near white out--meaning snow flakes so fat and falling so heavy I couldn't see past the parking lot at work--on Monday here.  Crazy.  today I am wearing capris and sandals.  Springtime in the Rockies, they keep saying.

The Girl has her last final this morning.  I think she said it went until noon.  I'm leaving work early (about 2) to drive up and help her move out.  She has a cleaning check--to officially get out of her dorm--about 5 PM so she has to have all of her things moved completely out before that.  It's about a two hour drive to get there.  I'm not sure how much cleaning I'll have to help her do, or if I just need to be there to pack all her stuff in the Durango. Either way, she is coming home tonight.  And that makes me happy.

In order to get out of work at 2PM today, I stayed last night at work until just after 8 PM.  I had a big embroidery order to work on.  They need it done by the end of work Monday, but I was hoping to get it to them earlier, if at all possible.  I love the days when I have enough embroidery to do--and have someone else there that can answer the phone--so that I can put my ear buds in and turn on Jim Dale reading the Harry Potter books.  I mentally loose myself in that story and can listen to it over and over again.  Pl;us, I have heard  it so many time, it is very familiar and comfortable.  Easily to do other things while I am listening--so a perfect factor to concentrating on the work at hand.

The Boy has joined Genius Golfer in the local golf course's Mens' Association and they play every Thursday night.  (Which makes Thursday a good night to work late for me, when I need to.)  The Boy has played on the winning team for the last three Thursdays.  I'm not sure how it works, but they play for "skins" which equated to a dollar--and those add up depending on how many are playing (and putting into the pot of dollars).  After three weeks of winnings, The Boy is starting to feel like a junior PGA player.  Hopefully he won't start acting like it.  ;)

It is The Girl's welcome home tonight.  I need to figure out some kind of dinner plan, I suppose.  Or maybe not, depending on how long it takes me to get her home tonight.  Wish me luck to stay awake while I drive in the sunshine and springtime warmth.  Life is good.  I need to enjoy it more.
