Busy Week, Sleepy Friday Night

It's been such a busy week - I'm tired, and just about ready to go to bed. But first, a recap:
Monday, I called in (this is my new, part-time job) to find out the specials at Burrata Bistro & Paella Bar. I do this every day, and post the updates (when there are updates) on facebook. We had Gregg's parents and his eldest sister, Linda, and brother-in-law, Bill over for dinner. Walked 3+ miles.

Tuesday, a lady came to measure some of our windows for blinds. We've lived here for 10 years without many window coverings, because we have a lot of privacy. But the cost of propane (to run the furnace) has climbed so high since we built this house that we are going to invest in some more blinds to keep the heat IN. Since the weather people are predicting a very cold winter (El Nino), it's time to act now. Remember this?

I get chilly just thinking about it.

After the appointment, I caught the ferry to Seattle to pick up a donation of fabric from a custom furniture company (see Katie's Comforters Guild's blog for more info). Then I went to the hospital to deliver 42 blankets. After that, I interviewed the director of the Therapeutic Play Program at Seattle Children's Hospital for an article I'm writing about therapy dogs. When it's finished - if it's published - I'll let you know! Walked 4 miles with Gregg after dinner.

Wednesday, I worked on writing and catching up after being out all day on Tuesday. Photographed quilts and fabric for the Guild's blog. I called in to Burrata again, etc. Walked 3+ miles.
Thursday, I went to the Farm Kitchen to learn from the amazing Hollis how to do more complex website work. It's going to take some time to master this, but I feel so grateful to be taught by someone as talented and kind as Hollis. After our meeting, I went to Paella Bar to take some photos,

and then over to Lola's Mexican Kitchen

to do the same. After a quick bite of lunch - take-out from Lola's - I stopped into the local bead store (not my favorite place, but I was in a hurry) to get a few items for some jewelry I'm making. Then home to get dinner ready, and a trip to Costco, the mall (to pick up shoes on sale) and then for a beer at Silver City Brew Pub with Gregg. Walked 3+ miles.

Friday (today), I wrote my piece for Hopeful Parents (I post on the 10th of the month), walked 3 miles, got a haircut, and picked up donation cans from the September (Childhood Cancer Month) drive. I will post a total soon - some of our good can hosts want to keep the cans a bit longer for more donations - I love that! Came home and worked on Burrata business, had my parents over for dinner, and watched a mystery with Gregg.

I'm "plum tuckered out," as they used to say. Good night, all! I wish you a wonderful weekend.
