Home at last.

Eeek!  There’s SOOOOOOO much to do.  Thank goodness hubby got up here last week to make two passes on the lawn with the lawnmower.  Otherwise, I’d REALLY be freaked out.

Where to start?  Naturally, I turned on the Mac Mini and got all the updates, downloaded email, and triaged that.  Not the most important thing to do, but I triaged snail mail while doing that, and that was important.  I’ve sorted the critical mail and am beginning the lesser mail.

Hubby was right; the fertilizer we put on the lawn before I left has worked.  The front lawn actually looks like a lawn.  And I see patches of actual lawn on the rest of the yard.

I’m going to relax today and plan my attack.  I think I’ll head over to Temple in the morning to get blood drawn in preparation for Friday’s doctor appointment, check the PO Box on the way back, then stop at the dentist to schedule an appointment — a portion of one of my back teeth chipped off last week, so it looks like I’ll be springing for another crown.  That should effectively kill the morning.  Then I’ll pull out the string trimmer and begin trimming.  That should eat the afternoon, and hubby should be arriving with the kids.

But now I’m settling in to watch The Milwaukee Mile — Indy Racing.  Danica finished third in the Indy 500 last week, and I’m wondering how she’ll do today.  The media harps on her for only having one win, but she consistently finishes in the Top 10, and has been ranked Number 7 for most of her career.  I know she wants to do better, but, sheesh, in the whole scheme of things, that’s darn good.
