Ready for Home

I think I said before, “It’s been a week.” The truth is that it has.
I woke early this morning and started working on a proposal. I handled some email, then tired and decided to sleep a little longer. We decided to delay our departure home by a day so I could help my boss prepare this proposal. He didn’t get much done on it this week and neither did I. The work didn’t seriously start until yesterday.
So, I woke the second time, showered and dressed, then we met a friend at the Denny’s downtown for breakfast. Visiting with Ted is always fun and I enjoy his company immensely. But, duty called and my boss sent me an email that there were materials ready for my attention, so we said our goodbyes and headed back to the hotel. We did make a stop to pick up some food for Young Son.
I worked on the text off and on all afternoon. I think I finally finished about 1700 my time. I decided to go to Best Buy because I want a portable USB hub. I need the ability to connect more than two devices to the MBP and it would be good to power them from the USB hub as well.
I got what I needed plus a portable surge protector/multi-outlet. Both will fit in my regular kit without too much trouble. This is good.
We decided to drive over to a friend’s house to say goodbye as well. Her folks were there and her dad is my favorite pastor of all time. The pastor’s wife is like no other woman I’ve ever known. So, it was a huge treat to spend a few minutes with them. They will remain some of my favorite people so long as I draw breath. I would love to just sit with them and talk. That’s what they are.
You would know it, but I had the car washed this afternoon. So, of course, a thunderstorm popped up. The image is of the trailing edge of the set of storms, taken while we waited for pizza. The shower was welcome because it cooled the air and it was HOT this afternoon.
I’m hopeful that we’ll have a cool morning to drive. We head for home in the morning. My work here is done for the moment. Now it’s time to return home, regroup, and press on.
I hope you enjoyed the West Texas visit!
