Oh look, I did a Mer. Its been how long since I last posted. In summary:
- Birthday. Got the Percy Jackson books and devoured those. So glad he's revisiting them this fall.
- Went up to San Francisco for work. Was totally not conditioned for walking around San Fran's hills, so did no site seeing at all. Unless you count seeing Golden Gate Bridge from a hill and parking structure.
- Since office was last minute buying ticket, I got bumped from my flight back, so now have some vouchers for where ever I want to go that airline flies.
- Work has varied from insane to calm. Insane usually involving San Francisco projects. Y'all have an idea how old San Fran is? Then having to find how many historic buildings are within a half mile of a certain point. some areas near 1,000 buildings having been evaluated for National and California Register significance.
-Folks been having renovations done, including a new garage for my dad's radio and trailer crap. They went away while I was dog sitting for a neighbor, so had to watch our big dog too. But the work in the back wore down parts of the dirt trailer side parking, so the dog would escape while I was away, howl her woes to the neighbors, and played peeping tom looking in the neighbor's son's window. But she would squish back under before I came back, and only found out when the neighbor said something the last night.
-Yay for summer tv! Watched or listened to as much World Cup as I could (next on will rock since in Brazil). And summer dramas are so much better than fall tv. Really enjoying Covert Affairs and Haven. Pillars of the Earth seems like a pretty good translation so far.
- Will be taking first real vacation in a while. Going back east to see my grandparents. Haven't seen them since I was in Savannah, so should be good.
- I started rebuilding my family tree from scratch. All I can say is I am, genealogically speaking, old German mutt. Have lots of german, spanish, scottish, dutch, native american, english, french, formerly Checkoslovakia area (documents say Slovakland?), and supposedly some Welsh too. So many more documents and transcriptions online now, for free.
- Pooh broke another tooth, below the gum line, so she gets to go to the vet again. Might take her to the closer, all animal one, instead of just cat one. Mom always has complained about their prices (at cat hospital), and I'm not sure how good a job they did cleaning her teeth last year when she broke a tooth, which may have made a difference
