So long and thanks for all the fish... or something like that

No, I am not leaving the planet. I am just preparing for my last day at home. Sigh, sigh, and sigh again.

Marcia stopped by today and we watched one of my favorite flicks, "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" and had a good chat. My brother Bill called- he and Dad are NOT going to move to Tullahoma and live in the house on Mac's Lane, so it will be going on the market as soon as I can get it ready. My "goddaughter" Kat called, all excited because a CD and three volumes of a manga we are reading, Fruits Basket, arrived. A manga is an interesting sort of thing- a kind of graphic novel in serial form, it's like still-life anime, read from back to front and clockwise, so it takes some practice to get the reading sussed. I will take the three she just brought over to me to San Diego, as she will be visiting me there, and maybe will have the newest three with her so that we can make an exchange. Kat and I are true buds.

In San Diego, I will be finishing the plans for the LOTR party, working on the "Mother's Day Out" program we are starting at my church, and doing some painting. Kel and I will be running around, I am sure.

Tomorrow Dave and I will finish off some household chores and tie up some loose ends and pack. We are skipping the company picnic to spend a day with Mama before we leave her here "unfriended and alone"... Her caretaker says she does well enough after the first day or two, and she has been feeling better, so I hope all will be well. Last night, Jake, Becca and the kids came for dinner, and Emily tried to feed herself with a spoon. Mama was the primary victim of baby-food fall-out and had a ball. I hope the kids stop in to see her once or twice while I am gone.

Off to bed, me, and then soon, off to the friendly skies.
