Enough already

altivoA Friday worse than a Wednesday. This is weird for sure.
I got to work at 8:30 and did not get to look at my work-related e-mail until 12:30. In fact, I hadn't sat at my desk until then. This has been a crazy week for some reason, possibly summer reading club combined with a four day week.
Gary has a Civil War recreation tomorrow and probably Sunday (unless the weather turns sour) and I have a guild meeting tomorrow. We also have to take Sarah back to the vet so they can check her stitches and rebandage the leg. Getting her there is going to be rough, she isn't going to want to go back. She is, however, getting around better with her leg splinted, even getting up on her favorite chair. And she is much more her usual personality too, with the addition of having something pitiful to use to play it up for extra pettings and fussings.
Of purely historic interest and amusement, I got Windows NT 4.0 running on the Alpha at home, probably the only version of Windows ever marketed for a processor that was not compatible with the Intel *86 series. Once loaded, it looks boringly like Windows NT on some old Compaq 486, though. Microsoft has long ago dropped the service packs and patches from its web site, so I'm stuck with the service pack 1a level that was on the installation CD. It's a novelty that is mostly of interest because it includes an early version of IIS.
Trying to sort out pieces suitable for submission to the county fair, since the entry forms are due in a week. Wondering whether a couple of works in progress will be done by August 3 when they'd have to go to the fairgrounds.
Also trying to decide whether I want to sit through a couple of workshops at the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival. There are four or five that have potential interest to me, but I can't spare that much time or money. I need to decide right now on two or three and sign up before the classes are filled. Most of them are limited to 10 or 12 students.
Right this moment, though, I need to go to bed.
