I'm on vacaaaaaaaation!

[rivka]

This afternoon I gave Lydia a bunch of information and Steve (our Right Hand Man) a bunch of instructions. I made sure that I uploaded any files that Steve might need to our network drive. I got some things in motion to be ready for me to do them when I get back. I gave Steve my key to the cashbox, just in case. I put "away" messages on my phone and e-mail. I don't have to be back at work until July 28.

I did stay late at work, but that was okay because I was waiting for the IT guys to finish configuring my new laptop, a very lovely and well-equipped Dell Precision. Okay, so they shouldn't have taken this long to get it to me, given that I ordered it long long ago. But I know from last year that it drives me crazy not to have computer access at SUUSI, so, yay for them getting it to me in the nick of time.

Tomorrow we will do laundry and pack and make some pretense at cleaning the house and pick up a banner from church. I will bake some kind of delicious treat for the neighbors who will be watering our garden while we're gone. It will be 97 degrees outside, and God help us, Alex has an outdoor T-ball-themed birthday party to attend.

At 6:45 tomorrow evening, I'll pick my father up at the bus station.

Sunday morning, bright and early, we leave for SUUSI. Alex has been sleeping in her sleeping bag every night to get ready.

I'm on vacaaaaaaation!

SUUSI sounds like a lot of fun. I'm not a UU, but how I wish I could go to the Greg Greenway workshop!

Hope you have a great time.

Have fun! I'm giving a baby shower tomorrow, for the first time in decades, and I'm afraid the icing on the cake will melt in the few miles between the store and the library!

Have a wonderful time! I look forward to hearing about it.

I'm off to Ottawa with a busload of happy sleepy teenagers.

we just got back from target where we picked up last minute stuff (white cotton t-shirts for the boys: check; blankets: check; shower curtain: check) - you saw that they wanted us to bring a shower curtain, yeah?

I am also bringing hand towels, hand soap and a bathmat, and a trash can.

Anthony was so pissed when we got back in the car after target when I told him a. we weren't going to SUUSI right then and b. when we did go to SUUSI, we were not going by train.

I'm bringing an electric kettle to make tea. I will not be bringing any caffeinated tea, so if you and/or your aunt will want it, bring some. I'm bringing alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

I have a flashlight, tick removal supplies (guess why!), a potty ring, and a nylon-backed blanket for sitting on the lawn. Michael has packed wine, glasses, and a corkscrew.

I think we're ready for SUUSI! Let me go fall over now.
