It’s Friday. Have a glass of wine.

Happy Friday! Given the extent of my recent travels, I’d hoped to take today off, but alas, I have too much work to do. Sigh. Oh well–I can’t complain. On Monday, I flew to Grants, New Mexico where winds were so high there was chance we wouldn’t be able to land, but we did. Then after spending the day listening to the wind howl, we took off from Grants for Steamboat Springs, Colorado, where, you guessed it, it was windy. We then spent the entire next day at a coal mine–seriously, 13 hours. They served brisket three times, including at 7 a.m. when we arrived, to cover different shifts for award presentations. Then, Wednesday, we got up early and headed back to St. Louis, where it was so windy, we thought we might have to land in Springfield, Illinois. Our pilots got us on the ground in St. Louis–but I might have preferred landing at Abraham Lincoln Airport. Sigh.

I have to prepare for and then get through my DAR meeting this weekend and hopefully I can relax. I got my gutters cleaned this week which is a big ol’ checkmark off the Spring to do list. My half-birthday is Tuesday–zut alors! Time flies.
