The weekend's weather was great

The weekend's weather was great but I didn't get to enjoy all of it due to my alergies (yeah, I need to see a doctor and get a Rx for Claritin or something). On Saturday we went to Waco to watch Meredith and Dale finish their Waco Wild West Century Ride. They were training for the 50mile route but decided to continue on the 62 mile route since the terrain was flat and the day gorgeous. So we waited for them for quite some time, although the park where the finish was is really pretty, so we didn't mind.

Once we got back to Austin, I helped Jennifer almost the last stuff. Spending the day outdoors and then vacuuming the house pretty much did me in and my contacts felt like they were made out of sand paper (I'm wearing my glasses today). Speaking of vacuuming. Jennifer's room wasn't too bad, all things considered, but Shannan's room was a nightmare. I don't know how rarely - or whether at all - she vacuumed, but even if she did, all her furniture would have prevented her from reaching all the corners. So her carpet was full of some really nasty stuff. Against the walls, there was one inch layer of dust, feathers (?!?) and dog hair. I found some change (only penies and nickels) and a few mismatched earrings and several dessicated roaches and just random nasty stuff. The whole cleanup reminded me how much I should be appreciating my maid service.

On Sunday, Jennifer finished up with her house so she's out for good. That part of the move is finished, but my living room is now full of boxes that still need to be unpacked or put away. And the guest room looks pretty full already, so I don't know whare that stuff's all going to go. Maybe I'll lay a few more boards into my attic and then just move some of those boxes there.

Today at work was pretty normal. I guess after a couple of rounds, one gets used to layoffs. George and Casey came by to do some paperwork, so it was nice seeing them and getting to talk. They seemed pretty relaxed and optimistic, so that's good.
