Today was entirely too busy, but also lovely. I got up this morning and did a bunch of work, and then I took a break for lunch with my mom. We met up with a woman (Ann) who works in tourism for the state of Iowa; my mom worked with her many years ago when my mom did some tourism stuff, but probably hadn't seen her in twenty-five years. I connected with Ann at a conference I attended last year and she guessed who I might be related to based on my last name, which was pretty funny.
So, Ann was in the area for a meeting, and she reached out a few weeks ago to see if we wanted to have lunch. We met up to eat salads at Outlaw, and we also toured a bunch of the murals. We showed her around the ones in the main town, drove up to Millerton to look at one of my favorite murals, and then came back to my town to see the five murals here. At that point, I needed to get back to work, but my mom took Ann out to the Round Barn, so I would say Ann got her money's worth with the grand tour.
After I got home, I slogged pretty aggressively until sixish. Then I ran to town to get some groceries, came home, did the second of three loads of laundry, ate some leftovers, and had a work meeting with a guy in Japan whom I hadn't met yet. Then I did more laundry, painted my toenails, did some other personal tasks, and worked for the last couple of hours to get ahead of some stuff, since I'll be offline all weekend.
And now, I need to sleep and hopefully recharge before morning - goodnight!
