bunrabCindy is on her way home, so things are slowly returning to normal around here. We are going around resetting the thermostat that she always changes without asking or telling anyone, and can stop our vigilant guard on the laundry hamper so that she doesn't decide to toss our laundry in with hers "to save water," and the newspapers go back to being refolded correctly...
Saturday we did nothing much, after Friday's exhausting day at the Smithsonian. Ate lunch, cleaned a couple pet cages, knitted - Cindy finished the scarf she was making out of ribbon, after I showed her how to do drop-stitch - read, used the swimming pool ("swam" would not be quite accurate, as our use of the pool consists mostly of floating and splashing rather than swimming), ate at the South American restaurant over across from Social Security (the giant SSA complex, the main one for the whole country, is about a mile away from our house; it consists of numerous buildings and parking lots and has thousands of people working there, and gives its name to the whole neighborhood: the street it's on is Security Boulevard; the mall is Security Square Mall and the other shopping center there is Security Town Center...), and watched "Wallace & Grommit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit" on DVD.
Today, we had lunch, then I located my sewing machine & jury-rigged enough of a set-up so I could sew a piece of fabric into a pareo for Cindy to take back home with her, out of a piece of fabric we had purchased several days ago. Then she did some last-minute animal-spoiling before we took her back to the airport. I am sure the critters will miss her immensely, as she gave them about triple the amount of treats we normally do!
This coming week: music sorting and folder-stuffing for the Montgomery Village Band; frantic basement and deck and terrace cleaning and neatening for next Saturday's family pool party!
