A long day of work!

Even though I am fortunate enough to be able to work from my home office most of the time, things still don't always go very smoothly.

This morning, before John left for work, I decided to run up to our very nice local coffee shop for a mint chocolate frappé. (We don't have a Starbucks here in Leavenworth, but we do have a Barrista's - which is just darling - I need to take a picture - outside fountains and patio and WIFI and pretty good coffee and pastries.)

When I returned home, John had left for work. However, he forgot the one big rule of Castle Argghhh! - Close the door to the kitchen if leaving the dogs in the house!

Now, for a lot of people, that means the dogs have to stay in the kitchen. Not here, though - our dogs can open every cabinet, get into the trash and make one hell of a mess within minutes.

And that is what they did this morning.

After that, I tried to work on a development project, but it seems that someone unloaded the software from the server at work and put other stuff on it, so I couldn't even begin my project.

Then I did some support stuff with our new guys (telecommuting is a wonderful thing) to help them learn.

Before I knew it, it was 4:30, and I had to run up to the Commissary to get healthy food for dinner. But I forgot the charcoal for our steaks.

Currently, John is on an excursion for charcoal. I hope he doesn't buy any food, though - we are both doing exceedingly well on our competition, and I don't want to blow the weight we have lost so far this week - and for those who are keeping track, so far, we have lost exactly the same amount!
