Slept Until 11am

But that doesn't mean I'm well rested. The crew got in from their Disneyland trip at 12:30am. I went to bed around 1am but didn't fall asleep right away.

Did load of laundry and cooked vat of short grain brown rice before leaving at 1pm to pick up Dorothy for walk down Lujan Road and up Bayo Road (translation: down Bayo Canyon Trail below stables and then across Bayo Canyon and up Bayo Bench Trail). We did our usual 1 mile an hour.

I thought Dorothy had said she'd be interviewed on KRSN today but she insists it was always next Monday so I didn't miss it after all.

Dorothy asked if I'd go on Thursday with her in search of big trees of Los Alamos County. I agreed but wish to go back to a once a week schedule next week. We're going on the Apache Springs Trail down into Frijoles Canyon where Chick Keller saw a big tree right at the bottom of the trail. That trail is very skiddy. I'll enjoy going up better than going down.

On top of everything else going on this week, spouse has invited ex-son-in-law and his new wife, along with grandson, over for the first night of Passover on Wednesday. He's handling it all and I'll help to clean up.

Daughter got promoted to administrative assistant her first day on the job which means $2 more an hour. They gave her a test, she passed and got the promotion. She's happy because it will mean less direct contact with patients (maybe none).

Grandson has recess detention all week. He and another kid were acting up during a fire drill. Daughter says she shouldn't have sent him to school today. I knew it would be a hard transition from Disneyland to Realityland! : )

My "present" from Disney was two shirts - a Grumpy (advertising Grumpy beer on the back) and a Mickey Mouse. Problem is that I said I only wanted a white character shirt and one is brown and the other is hot pink. I only wear short-sleeved shirts on summer evenings when I walk outside at night and I only wear white so I'm visible. Spouse can have the extra large brown one and daughter the large hot pink one.
