Substance!
Good, productive day, even though the work portion was frustrating. (Web production kvetch: Why oh why can't content management systems retain the user-friendly names attached to files rather than assigning random number combinations to them? Random number combinations 20 characters long? It makes everything harder. ::sigh::)
Came home and decided that I was going to give that last wall in the small room its third coat of paint. Spanky and Merlin supervised. I think they were fascinated by the sight of me get up on a chair to paint the top of the wall, getting down to refresh the roller, and launching myself upward again. Anyway, the room now has three coats on every wall. I'll be leaving the paint to cure until Sunday, at which point the tops of the walls will be taped so I can paint the ceiling. Don't know how many coats that will take, but I hope not more than one. I want my room! While all this was going on, I also got some much-needed laundry done. Oh, the glamor!
Lastly, I got word from the visa agency that they received my paperwork yesterday and that it would be processed by Friday and Fed-Exed back to me. Yay! Also, plans for kitty care have been launched into motion. And now I know it's all real, because I received e-mail from one of my teammates tonight trying to find out who would be arriving at the hotel in Nairobi when, and who wanted to meet for dinner. I, of course, won't be getting to the hotel until somewhere around 9:30-10ish PM, so I won't meet anyone until the morning we depart for the wild. ::sigh:: But...it's coming!
