Have been up since 3:30 A.M. pondering a dilemma at work. I think I've figured out how to calm a tense situation down but now I'm tired of problem-solving. This week-end is devoted to organizing the house and getting packed. My travel companion arrives on Thursday and it would probably be the civilized thing pick-up the accumulated clutter from the combination library / guest room. My home office desk is also a bit (tastefully understated) of a disaster and needs some attention before I leave. Have to figure out what to pack. Luckily I'm traveling with someone who isn't into fancy and that is a relief. My birds are going to a friend's house tomorrow. The dogs to kennel on Friday. Then we just have to get to the pier on Saturday....
Once the business of getting ready to stop working for a while is attended to I will spend more time with photos. Making this transition (to a Mac) is not as formidable as I thought it would be ~ learning the truth once again of "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself".
The sun is coming up. The sky to the northwest is a shimmering pale pink. Another day begins.
