Awoke early, to Mr E's plaintive cries. I'm thankful for the morning time, thankful we've taken in such a sweet tame creature. (Our cats are so wild, comparatively.) Digital correspondence and reading until the 7 am conference call. I'm thankful that the other prerequisite projects clearly will not be done in time. Also, i loved having Christine up, giggling at some of the call. After, Christine & i went to Hobees. The service came to a screeching halt -- almost as if there were some sort of drama happening in the kitchen for a bit -- and then resumed. It was entertaining to speculate on what happened, and my mood perked up quickly as i got food in my system. From there to the pet store and CostCo and the grocery. Home with a new external *rugged* hard drive for my lap top and much bird food. Christine turned around and took Mr E to the vet for re-suturing. I restored some disk images on the second living room hard drive (a to-do task since sometime in May) and our media library is back. I also ran some laundry, washing the dyed fabric for the final rinse and the cat marked towels and throw rugs from Mr E's adaptation to indoor life.

i felt i should be doing work or Meeting work, but ended up doing much housework. I dusted! The kitchen is mopped! Microfiber cloths are amazing on stainless steel in the kitchen.

This evening, i did not have something out of the house, so Christine went to get Mr E back while i fixed dinner. We watched Star Trek & ate, hen we fiddled with some tech for a bit.

I'll take tomorrow morning's 8 am conference call at home. I'm a bit anxious about the training week and travel next week, but i know all will be well in the big picture. I just suspect i will metaphorically stub my toe often oer the next few days. Aversion, perhaps, instead of anxiety.

Cats growling at each other -- hope i can get a good night's sleep!
