Aside from the fact that I was at a good stopping point, I left for work on the early side because of impending heavy rain.

It was raining when I got to work a bit after 7 AM--enough that I was juggling my book bag (aka purse), lunch, cane, AND umbrella. And because it was early I had to somehow juggle even more to unlock the front door.

It rained off and on most of the day. I made it to my car between showers, but I had rain most of the way home. I parked somewhat cattywampus so that the car door was only about two steps from the patio cover.

That didn't bother me particularly, because on the way home I let myself be enticed by the thoughts of Popeye's fried chicken. There was no line, so I bought a two-piece dinner and headed the rest of the way home.

Naturally, it began to rain again as I got close to the house. I managed to get the mail and paper (while juggling an umbrella) and dash hobble back to the car without getting seriously wet. But there aren't any trees that block rain in my parking area, which is why the car is currently in a funny orientation.

I took my laptop in to work so that I could type up the inventory on it and not have to use a computer at the library desk. However, I postponed bringing it into the building, so I didn't have to juggle that along with everything else when I left.

I got all of the inventory lists written up and will type them here at home, e-mail them to the archivist, and take hard copies in with me on Monday.

The archivist showed me a couple more collections, so I won't be wondering if there is anything more to do. There is. Plenty.

If any miscellaneous critters came--or were brought--into the house today, they left no obvious trace.

Whether or not I do yard work tomorrow is up to the weather witch. I will never catch up on everything that needs doing, but I'd like to get to the point where I can at least stay even for a week or so.

I'll just have to see what happens weatherwise tomorrow. My bet is at least some rain.
