I went to the workshop this morning -- paid $2 for parking. While there, I got a text that the books were going to be delivered today. So as soon as the first speaker finished up, I left to wait at home.

Well, so far one package has been delivered. A second package, a bigger one with 13 books, is still on a FedEx truck. It's getting close to the time when I am supposed to take part in the panel discussion. I just texted a colleague to ask what they want -- the books, or my participation in the panel?

I wish things were not so bumpy, sometimes!

I took the time at home to gather up bits and pieces. I combined the ends of four bottles -- mayonnaise, mustard, raspberry vinaigrette dressing and teriyaki marinade, which along with a little extra oil and vinegar, made a good salad dressing. I also gathered up the last bits of vegetables which I cooked with a little onion and will turn into soup. Later on, or maybe tomorrow, I'll gather up the fruit and make a smoothie. I just love to use it all up!

I did miss out on the free lunch at the workshop (unless some nice person has saved some for me). Oh well. I just wish the books would come so I could be on my way!
