The lazy days of summer will be here soon. It was hard to imagine that this past week with all the grey skies and rain we experienced. Rosco in the planter reminds me of how relaxed life should be.
The topping of the week was the rude awakening I had Thursday morning when I learned that my furniture was being removed from my Chattanooga apartment one day sooner than I thought. By the time I found out, they had taken everything but the couch. I was planning to move out on Friday, but was forced to get everyhing packed up Thursday afternoon. I guess there was a communication failure on several levels as to when the official last day was and what the logistics plan would be. I didn't set up the lease and had no idea about what was agreed. I'll know better next time. I'll be more in control of what happens during my next long term out-of-town project.
For the most part this weekend was easy going for Gin and I. I spent Saturday morning organizing and stowing away the apartment items and extra clothing that I accumulated over the past 10 months. We did a little shopping and also managed a visit with Nolan and Dean at their house. Patrick was getting his newly acquired lawn mower working and Jessica was home catching up on the domestic chores. Nolan and I had a lot of play time in the driveway and backyard. Dean enjoyed swinging with Gin and me trading off on the pushing.
Today was spent finishing up closet organizing, vacuuming, dusting and laundry. Each of us picking our normal duties and taking care of business. A short trip to Costco top pick up some necessities and a frozen yogurt of course. Then relaxing with computer games, DVR movies and books to close out the weekend.
I have assumed new duties at work and will be learning more about running the American side of the business over the next few months. I'm hoping I'm up for the task and that I can prove my worth. I also hope this is something that fits my work style and abilities. There is a new horizon I am looking at. I think I'll like it.
Emjoy the spring and don't let the wicked weather sneak up on you!
