So here's the short of it, 
What a day!

And here's the long.

Yesterday Alan came home to a very definite problem with our hot water!  Our plumber came but wasn't able to get it fixed so we didn't have hot water last night nor this morning - well not in our bathroom, or the kitchen, or the laundry room.  I just didn't try to gather up all my bathing stuff and go to another bathroom this morning, so I did a sponge bath and baking soda in the hair!  It was OK. But I'm sure glad the plumber got here this afternoon and got it fixed. I'm looking forward to a great hot shower in the morning!

I didn't have a minute to spare today.  I was in three places for three different meetings from the start of the day to the end of the day, and each of them were meetings that demanded my full attention. I'll have to say I was pretty zonked by the end of the day.

Now I'm packing for our New York Trip.  Katie Jane is becoming a Bat Mitzvah this weekend and we are going to help celebrate.  I'm looking forward to the trip - even though it's very bittersweet to have Pennie's grand-daughter at this milestone without Pennie there.  But it will be a wonderful weekend and a good time for much reflection.

So here's the short of it, 

Here's to another good day.

And here's the long.

A half day of work and a half day sick leave to take Mom to the doctor. We drove down to see David Judge at his Gadsden office for her follow up from the left eye cataract surgery. It was great to see him. He pronounced her in great shape and said she could be turned back over to her regular ophthamologist.  

We had a nice visit on the drive down and back.  I'm glad I'm at a place in my work life when I can take off some time to be with Mom for such things.  

One more day of work for me tomorrow and is it ever a  busy one.  AND I've got a couple of things to do tonight to get ready for that!

We have hot water issues today.  This afternoon when Alan got home he discovered that in our bathroom and the kitchen there was very little hot water and pressure.  It seems that we have a broken line somewhere under the house!  Alan thinks our plumber can get here tomorrow.  A cold or low pressure shower might be in the works for tomorrow morning though.  That could be a great morning adventure!
