Day 76 -- the trip was successful!

Not only did I get in around 6 on Sunday night, I got everything in place(unpacked), sent text messages to Lee, Marcia and Buzzy.  I was very pleased with the way the trip went.  I am continuing to be concerned about the tendency at times to just nod off.  More than once I had to take proactive steps to get adrenalin flowing.  No close calls involving others -- just my own concern that my body is doing this.  Hope this week brings some data from the sleep study, and we can  get whatever is going on fixed.  This morning, it seemed that my night sweats were even more profuse.  Good thing that I put off the laundry until today.
As I was getting this process started, and some other weekend domestic chores I had neglected,  Lee called.  The bad news is that he had a cold and it is really bringing him down.  The hurry up news was that the Tall Ships were still in town (until the 14th), and we were to meet at Channelside about noon.  Had to abandon my chores, call Nancy and tell her to just come on in -- that I might be back before she left.
We only went to see the Eagle (the Coast Guard training tall ship) -- it was impressive.  What was really impressive was the heat.  We went to Jackson's for a very light lunch -- the truth was we needed to cool down -- particularly the kids.  It was great fun -- got some pictures which I will post tomorrow.
Got a lot done on setting up the video for the DSP, made some banana nut mini-muffins while waiting for the video to render and load, but did not get back to the laundry.
On the drive to Coral Springs and back, had time to do some serious thinking about this blog.  While I have used it as a log of some of the external signs of my grief work,  I thought about other stuff that comes up, and would appropriately be far more interesting than my naval gazing.  So starting tomorrow, I am going to share more of my reaction to the "outside" world.  Maybe even do a little preaching -- after all this is a convenient and relatively innocuous soap box.  On Wednesday, I start my series of Wed. morning sessions getting my CE hours in for HRB.  I also see the way clear to get the DSP set up in Powerpoint.  Need to go to Hyde Park UMC and see what the set-up there is and whether there is a computer or projector available in the room that will be used for DSP.  Stay tuned.
