Busy Week

My computer's acting so weird. I'm not sure what the problem is, but it's taking forever to do anything. Like it took me 15 minutes this morning to get into Eudora and download my two new messages. Huh. I keep getting these "tgshell" errors. I don't have time for this right now. This week is the busiest one I've had in a very long time.

Tonight a friend is coming to spend the night -- someone I've known since college! She lives in California but is on business in Boston this week and has tomorrow off, so she's driving down this afternoon. It will be great to see her again. It's probably been ten years since we last saw each other, although we talk on the phone fairly regularly. Anyway I've been getting the guest room ready this morning, and trying to figure out what to cook for dinner.

Tomorrow night I'm hosting a little get-together of the Hamden Slashers. I'm making dinner and we're going to watch a Canadian movie. I hope the excitement doesn't kill us.

I don't even want to talk about work. Suddenly it is the busiest part of my life. Today I have four or five major things to get done by the end of the day, and I don't think it's going to be easy. Plus I have a doctor's appointment this morning at 7:30, and I need to leave on time this afternoon to get home before my friend gets here from Boston. Busy day.

Speaking of work, this picture was taken the day before my friend Clarissa's last day (she left for a different company about a month ago). Someone kindly forwarded this picture to me this week. Don't we look happy? It was so nice to see Clarissa's smiling face again. How I miss her!
