Making Ready

So, Doug had a cold and then it went away very quickly. And now it — or something like — it is back. He's a sneezing wheezing coughing mess. I am hoping he does not give this to me. I feel pretty great, but I do not want to bring a cold up to my mom. That would suck for her. 

He took tomorrow off, I did not. I actually got a lot done today. We had a team meeting and I learned a lot about one of my colleague's workflow and doings. It's complicated. I'm glad I do not support his products. But it was a good time learning and we all had some good laughs and great insight. 

I slipped out after that meeting and hit the gym. Then, a 2:30pm meeting with my work son. We had some things to go over and he had some hot goss for me. I like when we can mix work and not work with incredible ease. 

Geoff made dinner in the slow cooker, and he started it at 11am, it finished around 6 and was actually pretty excellent. It was funny, he kept coming up and checking on it, stirring it, and I told him he really didn't have to do that. This recipe basically is "set and forget" like you'd go to your office for the whole day and when you get home - magic. Dinner is ready. He said it made him anxious, like what if it reduced too far and started to burn. I told him that wasn't possible, since he kind of doubled the gravy part of things (and I'm glad he did) on accident. 

I have a lot to do tomorrow. Get the guest room sheets done, finish vacuuming, and Doug needs to go to the market. Geoff went to two stores and could not find what Doug wanted for us for New Years Day dinner, so he's going to go out adventuring. I hope he can and isn't too too sick. The super nice grocery store closes at 4 tomorrow. 

And Jess and Dijon are on the way tomorrow. It looks like nasty possible weather tomorrow in NEPA, so I hope everything goes alright for them on their journey. 

I know now how my mom feels when she knows we are on the road. "Call me when you get there..." 

No picture today, but probably some tomorrow.
