I didn't get up early to call Heartland. My devious mind included my phone alarm in my dream. I was throwing out some electronic cards "because they kept making noise". I think that tomorrow I need to set the alarm that Zara hates (a mechanical alarm with bells). It usually works.
Today was hot. Did I mention that the air conditioning at work was struck by lightning and isn't working? It was a long, hot, beastly day. The front desk worker wore shorts, which was smart of him. I was dressed formally in a blazer, short-sleeved shirt, and pants. I was sweltering. I got a lot of stuff done today though, which made me feel good. I like being productive.
I've done a little more research about Santa Fe. It has some condos that are within the realm of reason price-wise, although a lot of Californians are retiring there, which will no doubt run the prices up. And it's very pretty. When I was a kid, I saw a picture or something of the area and became enamored of it. Erik and I spent part of a day there, and I liked it. It's worth spending some time there. Expedia had a package with a week's stay, including airfare, for as low as $700. I want to make the trip happen next year. I also requested books from the library about the area, and they're starting to come in. I want to do some reading about it during this long weekend.
I can't believe that tomorrow, it will have been 20 years since Princess Diana died. I remember that day well, and it just seems like a few years ago.
