11.11.2010 Thursday Veteran's Day

Started the day cleaning a space off of the window seat.  Getting a space organized just seems to give me boost.  Too bad that I have family who like to cover every possible horizontal plane with "stuff".  I should probably be thankful for these terrible habits....just think how often I get the chance to feel better, but I have to feel like crap every time I come home and all flat surfaces are humped up with stuff.  I went to investigate the new Hallmark Recordable Books before moving from working at home to working at work.  While I was ordering some some Chinese take-away I realized that I had totally forgotten about a departmental luncheon today.  I hate it when that kind of thing happens.  I had decided on the drive to work that the writer's block I was experiencing with the journal article may be from the AT office space, so I opted to move to the library for the afternoon.  That, coupled with the research I did this morning proved to be a good idea.  I should have 2 more drafts for Friday afternoon AND the prof this afternoon had two books that look promising for some of the missing documentation I've been in search of.  A good day indeed.  We watched "Bottle Shock" this evening.  A good movie about the wine industry.  Big big day tomorrow and actually a big weekend for this one.  I hope I can keep the pace brisk.  Lucky and Sunny both have surgery tomorrow and I am the dedicated vet assistant on Saturday.  Hopefully Dennis will become the animal hospital for them.  His foot has one more week and then is pronounced healed.  I know he misses the attention of a full-fledged medical emergency, but I'm having an academic one now and he's going to have to help.  If I go down so does he, but he's a tad slow to recognize this dynamic.  Here's hoping he gets a clue.
