I'm v sleepy but I had an excellent day - I woke up, did some final cleaning tasks around the house, thought about watering my garden, and was glad I didn't because it suddenly dumped over an inch of rain in the last hour that I was home. So instead I took a shower of my own, then drove to Des Moines, where I stocked up on wine and groceries via a quick whole foods run.
Then I drove back to the airport, where I arrived just in time to pick up Claudia (aka Santy Claude), who came to town! She is visiting for the next few days, and I am showing her all the many and varied tings that I've told her about over the last few decades. We grabbed a quick lunch near the airport (v tasty Mediterranean), and then we drove south.
When we got to my house, we hung out with [censored] for a bit, and then we went outside for a v brief tour of our various holdings before deciding it was too hot and muggy to be outside. Eventually we picked up Mom and took her out for prime rib at our usual prime rib place, where we saw the usual suspects.
Then, [censored] abandoned us but Mom, Claudia and I grabbed ice cream at the soda fountain (where Claudia met Gloria and also another Claude whom we happen to know). And then we all unwound, which would have been relaxing except for all the thunder (which encouraged me and [censored] to get our vehicles under cover at 10:30pm) and the severe thunderstorm warning that just went off on my weather radio and woke me up. I needed to wake back up anyway since I had dozed off while trying to write this, but it was a v unwelcome alarm.
So now I'm going to sleep and hope I don't get woken up again - goodnight!
