Winding down the week, and feeling a bit more relaxed than I have in the last several days. Incredible how less worry can make you feel lighter.

Mom is doing well; the incision is healing nicely and she's eating without any problems. Function has returned to normal.

I've been busy editing some of the reunion pictures hoping to design a little photo album, but the website I generally use for that was giving me fits earlier and I gave up for the day.

I have been keeping busy with general household chores and meal preparation. Dad has been busy getting his lawn and garden back in shape after being gone so long. Mom just has to finish getting well.

And then--I am going to go see the new Dark Tower movie. I hope it's here in Wyoming when it opens everywhere else, or I'm going to have to wait and try to avoid any spoilers.

Warning: NO SPOILERS!!

I have been a fan of Stephen King's Dark Tower series for years. I do mean years, people. It took him forever to finish, and the wait in between books was murder. So I am looking forward to this movie. I am also scared to see this movie, because...what if they screwed it up? I mean, there are so many books, and obviously, one movie, with less than two hours running time, cannot cover seven books. So, what's it going to be. Book One, The Gunslinger? Um...I don't think so, judging by the trailers. So, yeah. I'm nervous about this one, because I love the series so much.

I guess I just have to wait and see. Yikes.

Just for the record--the IRS sucks. If they screw something up, it takes forever to get it resolved, but oh boy, if you make a mistake, they're on you like kitties on catnip. This is much ado about nothing in particular, just an FYI. In case you didn't already know.

The County Fair is coming up. I haven't been to one since 1999. I wonder if I should go check it out.
What do you think?

We've had a little too much excitement around here, and now I am behind on everything, so I need to get back to final edits on my book, planning August happenings, and etc.

In the meantime, I'm bushed. I'm calling it a night.

Snooze well!
