A day that started much, much earlier than I would have preferred, and turned out a lot more enjoyable, though not necessarily for a good reason.
Up at 6:30 to get my car to the mechanic before 7. Need a new wheel bearing, as Rosie turned into quite a noisy little car a week ago. All set there. Boss was picking me up there, at 7AM, so we could go up to Augusta for a seminar on Lakeside Landscaping. Not reeeeealy looking forward to spending a whole day with just him, but there we go.
He was asleep in the front seat of the Tahoe when I pulled in, and jerked awake when I knocked on the window. Sort of amusing... I climbed in, and he then told me that I would be heading up to Augusta by myself. Eh? Concern outweighed my happiness... He and Mary didn't sleep much last night, thanks to their very old dog, who they finally made the decision to have put to sleep this morning... :( Not a very fun time. Poor Pellet had not been doing well for a while now, but last night apparently made Mary realize that she had to do the most difficult kindness there is... Pellie was a good dog.
Took Joe home, and up to Augusta I went. Bad Irish jokes on WBLM kept me entertained. Got to the Civic Center, and was greeted by a former co-worker of mine. Yay! Somebody to sit with and talk to! Jeff and I had a good time. Was good to see him; it'd been a while. The seminar itself was pretty good, very informative. I am certified "lake friendly" and can now landscape around water. Go me. Ran into one former classmate from UMaine (whose name I could not pull up right away... embarrassing), which was nice. I figured there had to be at least one other of us there.
Returned home, tired, and got a call from Jess, who made me panic a bit, when she said she'd left the office around 11:00 this morning, and that I should probably check the greenhouses. ACK. NOT GOOD. Potentially frozen little babies! One zooming trip down the road later (when we finally move, this will become more of an issue...), all was well, as Alec (or somebody) had closed the doors and windows, and made sure the heat was on before they'd left. Thank goodness.
Soon, there will be delicious corned beef for me.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kurlon put it all together this morning, and it was spitting all over the counter when I got home, but that's been cleaned up and it is burbling happily again. NOM.
More Robin Hood movie news! Ridley Scott's Robin Hood will feature a lot of singing. I don't think that means it will be a "musical", per se, hopefully just lots and lots of AlanGreatBigSea Wonderfulness. :)
And, though I am not a drop Irish, 'tis St. Patrick's Day, and I know folks who are Irish, so...
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
And may you be half an hour in Heaven 'fore the Devil knows you're dead.
