So I’ve almost put in a full week at work.\u00a0 My mind isn’t quite ready to accept the fact that I’m sitting at a desk and not out walking around a forested area somewhere.\u00a0 It seems unreal.\u00a0 I know I’ll get used to it.\u00a0 I just don’t want to.<\/p>\n
My minions did very well without me.\u00a0 This was the first year I truly monitored email and didn’t just in to do anything.\u00a0 They have all gained enough experience to move forward without me.\u00a0 Like Beth said, ‘The Taos Plan is in effect!”\u00a0 That means I could retire and move to Taos, NM and the department would be able to continue to operate.\u00a0 That’s all I wanted.<\/p>\n
I have an intern that I was able to bring in this summer.\u00a0\u00a0I was hoping to give someone experience in the Technical Writing field.\u00a0 There just aren’t that many people willing to share what they do for a living in this field.\u00a0 How are others going to know what it is and keep it alive!\u00a0 Candyce is working out well so far.\u00a0 I’m hoping to give her a project and start making progress.<\/p>\n
I had things I was supposed to say here, but I didn’t write them down.\u00a0 Darn, that’s why I make notes.\u00a0 I can’t remember anything anymore.<\/p>\n
Rick came back and starting finding his friends.\u00a0 Tyler has been over a couple of times.\u00a0 On Tuesday, he spent the day with his girlfriend, Jordyn.\u00a0 I didn’t see him, but I heard him return that night.\u00a0 On Wednesday, he went kayaking with Tyler and Topher.\u00a0 The brought Topher’s kayaks to our lake down the street.\u00a0 When we got home from work, they were just returning with a load of pizzas and other food.\u00a0 They then settled in the basement with the PS3.<\/p>\n
Sascha is happy to have us back.\u00a0 Today, she thought Rich and I were staying home.\u00a0 She was playing around the living room with her toys.\u00a0 When she realized we had coffee and were headed for the door, she put up her ears and questioned the sanity of that action.\u00a0 Not sane, but necessary to pay for dog chow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I spent Sunday through Wednesday working on organizing and creating photo files so that I could share our vacation with everyone.\u00a0 The last set were posted and ready for viewing by 10:00 PM on Wednesday.\u00a0 I sent out an email to family and friends.\u00a0 Another email went out today to my co-workers and work friends who might be interested.<\/p>\n
