I got the girls into bed and headed to the airport last night to get Hubby. Not only was his flight on-time, it landed a few minutes early which meant, as I walked to the "gate" (as close to the gate as they allow non-ticketed people), people were coming off the plane. We watched the luggage go round and round on the conveyer belt, but no Hubby suitcase. Fortunately, it was at the airline office by the baggage-claim. We got home and enjoyed tea and hot chocolate as we watched the highlights from the Buccaneers' game. I could watch that 62-yard kick over and over. Watching Ronde Barber's 2 interceptions was fun, too. I could skip watching the missed tackles, though. To the defense's defense, it was one hot and humid day. The field temp was 100 degrees. The humidity was close to 80% (not as bad as our summer 98%, but still noticeably sticky). The personal note on our kicker, Bryant: his son, who was born prematurely, just came home from the hospital this week. Things seem to be looking up for him. He's actually got quite the story with working at a pawn shop while trying to make it in pro football. He played in arena football and in the European league. Gotta love that kind of tenacity.
With Hubby home, I slept better last night than I have all week. It would have been nice to sleep longer, but the quality was definitely there. My eye is still swollen, but seems like it doesn't itch as much. I'll probably give it another day before seeking professional opinions. The Imp, who is very empathetic and hates to see anyone uncomfortable, kept asking me yesterday if she could do something for me. I kept telling her, I just had to tough it out. Then she asked me if I put anti-itch cream on it. I told her, I don't put things near my eyes, unless told to by my doctor. When I explained that you wouldn't want to accidentally get any in your eye, she immediately got it and said, "Ewww, that would be worse than it itching." You got it.
Our week is underway. I didn't get much done on my consulting work this weekend, so am behind and need to give it a good 3 or 4 hours today. I'm selling Homecoming tickets at lunch at the Driver's school. And I have to bake something for Bible Study for tomorrow morning (also have to finish the questions). I'll wait until tomorrow afternoon to flush out my lesson plan for tomorrow night's Adult confirmation class. Sure glad I don't do any work.
Tomorrow night is the Driver's Talent Show. She's singing "the Wizard and I" from "Wicked." I'll have to miss it. I'm going to try to talk Hubby into buying a camcorder before then. I really want to see and hear her. I can't believe I have to teach. We have tapes and tapes of home videos from when the girls were small. About 6 years ago our camera's audio recording sort of died. So we don't have any recent video. I also want to get the tapes transferred to DVD. I like watching even if it bores everyone else.
