Monday was a holiday and so we went back to work on Tuesday. There are literally no distractions here in the Archives. Only a couple of people work here anyway and so unless they come in to talk to us, no one comes in to distract us. However, the digitizing moves slowly when we are doing one page at a time. Moves at a glacial pace which is even slower than Molasses in Winter.
Lunch time was rather fun yesterday. Rob and Peter came in to eat with us and Peter had his son with him who is a freshman at Halldale High School. There was lots of laughter and laughter is surely the best medicine. The weather was gloomy and snow was forecast (it never came, but loads of rain came) and we were not looking forward to the ride home.
We went to the YMCA after work at the archives and there were many people there doing hard things physically. I assume that the weights they have put onto the lifting bars are actually heavy and not made of colored Styrofoam…….ha ha ha ha ; the ones who do the lifting grunt and groan with the weight and I am impressed. Some of them even drop the weights to the floor with a resounding thump and the YMCA staff are not impressed with that.
We went home to eat and I went to Sr. Cyr for my reflexology session. I am feeling a lot better since she has started working on me but my sciatic nerve still gives me problems – has done for years.
After the session on my feet we went to Best Buy. Bill bought a year’s membership to the Geek Squad and some young kid – probably about 20 yrs old, just took to the problem in hand like a duck to water. As a result, we have Angry Birds loaded onto the IPad 2. Well, after a couple of turns at it, the question needs to be asked - So what is it all about? Well, It seems to be a complete waste of time, but the officaindos of the game insist that it is all about physics and how to get the most points for the most accurate chucking of the little red bird at the green pig. How high are their goals in life?
This morning the temperature is hovering around 50 degrees and it rained all night so the snow is all gone. Beats having to use a snowplow!
