Today was a busy day at the festival office. It was especially busy for poor Marilyn! I don't know how she does it -- I really don't.

Henry scratched me on my chest. He didn't mean to, but gosh, does it ever hurt. (sigh)

Staff meeting this morning discussed a lot of recent events. It was interesting. And we celebrated two birthdays: Ashley and Marissa's.

I was working on some IT issues. I'm really trying to reason out Marilyn's multiple problems with Outlook. Of course, she's not the only one who has Outlook issues in our office -- I've had them myself for years! Hopefully all of my research today helped, anyway...

I got more than 5,600 steps today. I walked to Starbucks and to McDonald's for lunch. Plus up and down stairs over and over again (as usual).

We didn't get home until around 9:00 p.m. tonight. I made some white rice and we ate leftover sands from lunch...

Much of our focus in the office is on the upcoming Auction. Marilyn suggested to me that we tweak last year's PowerPoint and call it good for this year. I'm all for it. It's a ton of work to make them from scratch, and most people won't even notice it...

Oh! I almost forgot to mention emailing back and forth with Rod, the nephew of one of my favorite authors! He suddenly wrote to me again this week. I wrote back and so on. He actually lives here in Portland!!!

Well, I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting, but that's okay. Good night all.
