A home-cooked meal...

alexpgpI walked to the store in the late afternoon yesterday, in time to help close out the register and go with Galina to the kids' place to give Huntür her belated birthday presents: a CVS video camera from me and a plastic toy that comprises a collapsible sphere, from Aunt Natalie. Huntür seemed to enjoy them both.
We then all sat down to a home-cooked meal, which underscored for me the fact that I've been eating largely on-the-run for the past couple of weeks, either throwing something together in the small kitchenette at the hotel or eating out. Aside from three tacos early on during my assignment, I'm happy to note that my intake of junk food was nonexistent (unless one includes packages of peanuts from the vending machine at the MCC, in which case I must plead guilty to about 6 or 8 counts).
I managed to invoice the Houston trip today, for a fairly nice paycheck. I plan on filing the expense report tomorrow (and have to remember to send along the Albuquerque expense report, too), and need to address the documents required for the closing Friday as well. Other recent open loops include unpacking the truck (I think I'll start tomorrow morning, because I think it is going to take longer than I expect) and starting to stage stuff for Kazakhstan, e.g., finding the USB cable for charging my Palm (the alternative will be to schlepp the cradle and power supply with me).
Four days and a wakeup until departure.
Cheers...
