Vacation Winding Down
Jan. 3rd, 2026 10:15 pmI have to get K down to the bus that departs at noon tomorrow, as break is going to be over as of Monday for both of us. (Although I'll be taking time off at the end of the week to go to GAFilk...)
While off from work, I have devised a clever (?) scheme that may sort out some of the problems that the UI team is having with caching models in our updated environment. We'll have a meeting first thing Monday morning and I'll find out whether the scheme satisfies them or not.
Gretchen has been valiantly trying to get all of the dishes washed in the absence of a working dishwasher. This has been a game of three dishes forward, two dishes back. She is *so* close to the end of the queue here. But the new dishwasher will arrive on Monday according to the schedule and at some time between 6:30 and 10:30 AM. The 6:30 estimate seems unlikely, but if they are loaded by 6 AM and we are the first stop, not impossible. Gretchen is not looking forward to this timing, but I'm back at work, so she is in charge...
I have several things that I'm hoping to finish tomorrow, some of which are more necessary than others. I note that I *still* haven't managed to get the GAFilk quilt hung, but we *did* take down the Christmas tree today. Normally, we would leave it up until January 6th, but that is Tuesday, which is shortly before I depart for GAFilk and *after* K has returned to Ball State, so the tree is now out by the curb and the ornaments put away.
But the first order of business is to get K on that bus back to school, because I do not want to be driving to Muncie tomorrow. :)
