COQUILLE DIARY MARCH 2000:
3-3 Took off for the weekend to drive to Seattle to visit with Carla. She was off loading some furniture and stuff so I said, "Swell and thanky". I hate refueling in Washington because we have self serve in Oregon and I am spoiled. So I had to figure out what buttons to push, pump the gas, push button to get inside person to turn ON the pump then schlep into make the payment. Wah wah wah!
Carla gave me a bookshelf and some books a lot of her copper collection and some linens as well as a large picture. Also given a rug that looks nice in front of the fireplace. (It tends to crawl and may not last long). I also shopped at Sears and scored clothing and undies.
Went to a book shop and purchased a three volume edition of "1000 and one nights" by Sir Richard Burton. Very interesting. By the time she got through telling all her stories she had born the nasty tempered big guy three sons and begged the king not to kill her as she could only provide a mother's care to the sons. The king was impressed with her piety, morality and pardoned her and her family. I am using the three book volume to hold up a small reading lamp by my chair downstairs, so thematic doncha know.
Got home called Enterprise to come get the car and promptly developed all the wonderful symptoms of a full on upper respiratory infection. Please pass the Nyquil.
Worky, worky, worky.
3-22: Heard from Monica. She drove cross country to Virginia and now has a 90 minute commute each way. Ugh. She does think it is a fair trade off for the inside commute in Barrow. Meh..
Work wise: Attempting the budget process. I have zero control on input it is merely a matter of getting stats from the office and filling in the blanks and estimating how much it will be next year. Shoot me!!! Will some please invent Turbo-Budget!?
I requested equipment but that depends entirely on how much bucks are available for stuff like that and it aint' much. Use it up etc.
We went to Myrtle Point and shopping at Schroeder and Son for some furniture. We purchased an armoire type desk for the upstairs office and also a Mission style chair for the living room. It is tobacco colored. Um, ick name.
3-26: I watched the King Dome implode in Seattle. Quite impressive. Carla drove out somewhere across the water to watch and the seismic activity was very present. Once the dust cleared all the debris had dropped into a nice neat circle.
Worky, worky worky March.
G/night folks.
