Monday Morning

I have bought my ticket to England to see my sister. I am leaving on July 14th and coming back on July 31st. Her birthday is July 30th. I was totally amazed to discover I can book a flight with one plane change in Newark from Burlington, VT, to Bristol which is 40 miles from where my sister lives. They usually spend a heap of money to send a taxi for me to Gatwick or Heathrow {or in one never-to-be-forgotten trip, to both the airports since the driver went to the wrong one!} and this will be much more convenient.

My drawing class assignment is done except for the few last-minute bits I will, of course, have to put in. I need to check it and make sure the darks are really dark. I actually made it more difficult for myself than it needed to be since I wanted to try perspective with two vanishing points. I am not sure that I succeeded but it was an interesting challenge.

I have put one load of clothes in the dryer and the sheets are in the washer. When they  are dry and put away, I am through with the laundry. I am thinking that my job-for-today really really needs to be to clean out and sort through all the junk on the floor on my side of the bed. This doesn’t mean that I am going to do it; it just means I am thinking about doing it.
Today:

  • finish laundry and put it all away. {It is all mine this week.}
  • Make the bed with clean sheets
  • possibly tackle the mess beside my bed
  • go for at least one walk
  • make a salad.
  • call my older son at home tonight and give him the news about my sister. I emailed him but for some reason, his work address rejected the mail. {He has no email access at home.}
  • take Fred to the health clinic to give blood in preparation for his visit with his kidney doctor on Wednesday
  • pray vehemently that his car gets fixed today…

Until later…

I love the eye roll smiley after you say you are ‘thinking’ of doing it.

It was good you could arrange the trip and arrive closer to your sister. I hope it was too outrageously expensive.

You will be leaving on the day I give the final exam to my summer class. I’ll think of you as I sit there watching them work.

Perspective with two vanishing points is brutal. Most impressive – I hate doing those myself. Do you think we’ll ever get to see some of the stuff you’ve been working on? I’d love to. 😀

I’m glad you can be there for your sister’s birthday!

It’ll be fun to take a long trip, and nice to see your sister. You must, of course, take her some of your homemade bread.

Oh I wish I was going too! I love England!

We’ll try and arrange some better weather for the duration of your visit. Have a great time.

Have a very safe trip. Rest assured that you’re not the only bed-side piler out there, sometimes it threatens to take over the room.

that reminds me, I better go throw those clothes in the dryer. 🙂
