Re: Tom Kitten Thursday

So glad you got your anniversary out lunch with dh, Kitty! Sounds like a lovely relaxing day.
Glad you got some sleep, kitkat. Though, 7 hours doesn't sound like enough to me - but we're all different. The weather here looks foreboding too. I can hear thunder rumbling in the distance. Hot yoga - you're serious about yoga!
Sleep well and see you soon, Doggedly.
We are leaving this morning; it's about a 3.5 hour drive. We just want to get there in time to see dd30's panel discussion at 3pm.
I think dh and I plan to be very low key at the conference and take time to recover a bit. I do have payroll I will need to get done - and I am giving the exit test online tomorrow afternoon.
Next:
- some qt
- reclaim the kitchen
- back exercises
- s2s and self care
Later:
- squeegee and wipe down shower
- make the bed
- finish folding and p/a laundry
- write up menu plan for the week
- pack: clothes, toiletries, books, payroll stuff, technology
- pack: cooler food, nonperishable food, nespresso machine
- drive 3.5 hours
- either settle in bnb OR go straight to the conference to see dd30
- dinner: not sure of our plan; bring a frozen meal OR buy something there
- after dinner clean up
- conference: evening session
- payroll: finish AK for AR Exam
- payroll: send out drafts of 4 exams
- visit with S, dd28, and K (dd28's friend)
TaDas!
- up; weighed self - up a little bit
- coffee
- email deletions + weather websites; weather at the park for the backpacking trip still looks generally good -- but there might be some rain

We are part of your weather system, so it makes a great day to sleep in late. I'm just hoping that it will be over with by Saturday. I have plans to go to Weinerpawlooza, our dachshund rescue's big fundraiser.
