Well, monday I thought was going to be a long dragging day due to me not getting enough sleep but it went by relatively quickly and I ended up on a pretty high energy note. I was not lulled into a false sense of security due to that though. I went home, put my feet up and snuggled with a cat.

Now one funny thing about yesterday was that I finally got my ergo eval I first put in for in August. It seems that somehow, someone switched my information with that for a jennifer at McMurdo Station. LOL. So I got a new loaner keyboard, mouse and this neato rolly foot rest that I can put my feet "up" which is nice on the pregnant legs. I will probably have them order me this keyboard since its working well minus a sticky space bar. My hands feel better though.

Mel made dinner while I rested and then we ate and snuggled up on the floor to watch a new to us episode of NCIS. BTW, Any NCIS afficiandos out there? Mel and I are trying to figure out what happened to Gibb's girl friend the army gal? We know she's around when Jenny is around as director but since we aren't caught up on the Vance years I'm not sure if she sticks around or in NCIS fashion is killed off.

Then I packed up my scribble stuff. Well, I dusted it off its been so unused of late and was the last to arrive. Full southern scribble with all of us working is a good sight. We got scrolls figured out for Estrella I have calligraphy to do on 3-4 of them. I hyper focused a bit and my hands hurt by the end but I finished one of two languishing scrolls and I think I will setup the scribal stuff in the studio to work through the back log. Go me. We were in perfect Southern Scribble form though...equal parts smack, advice, good cheer and commentary along with ribald jokes. LOL.

Got home and mel was working on socks for Craven and I hit the showers and then we headed to bed. I started book #2 of the year and was quickly sucked in and tired. I fell asleep about 11ish and I slept all through the night minus one trip to the bathroom. I call that win! Course we slept through the alarms and got going late...especially me since I fell back asleep until mel was heading to work. Oops. But that was okay. I've not felt this rested and awake in quite a while.

Also just finished A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court...this book is nothing like the movies and is true satire. Funny, sad, uplifting and horrifying. I do recommend listening to it versus reading...especially the guy who reads it for the Craftlit podcast. He's awesome.

So, started today good. My mom emailed me to tell me my uncle Tom died. Here is his obit.

I remember being at their farm for lots of 4th of July's and that was where I tried the "homemade soda" which wasn't soda. Oops. Lots of good memories and he was a great guy. Not sure what was medically wrong since he was not that old but was in a nursing facility.

So, things are looking up for me physically and I just need to work and then try the gym tonight. Nothing big...some good full body stuff and treadmill time is really what I'm looking for and I'll hit other stuff on Thursday.
