new month – more of the same

It is amazing how fast files move at 0600. When all of you folks in the states having finally gotten off your computers on the east coast and have gone to bed! Took less that 3 minutes to download stuff that I had been fighting all of Friday. Part of the problem is that we have a low volume pipe that connects to the rest of the .mil and by the time things are up and running at 0730 – the average file transfer speed is down to 1.4 or slower. YES! Old modem speed. 

Anyway – walked in early, had meetings, worked through lunch. We have the new unit crest solved and will get it submitted today. Been listening to a wonderful CD that George picked up – Laridee. Actually a local group, normally they do pop/rock and folk. This one is completely inFrench and a combination of some old and some new folk. Extremely cheerful and upbeat <except for one to two tracks>.

George has his eye appointment for Thursday at the Uni Klinik to deal with his retinal detachment. more fun.

The whole crew picked me up at the end of the day and we headed home early. I took a book to bed and crashed. Did a little more cleaning up, so this was my break?

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
