I spent all day long working on graphics for a presentation to the Trustees of the University -- graphics that the Provost's office wanted, and then didn't want, and then suddenly decided they did want after all, but needed by Monday. I couldn't find decent pictures to save my life, and then when I did find them, couldn't figure out how to get the text to look good on them. It took all of my day except the 20 minutes I grabbed for lunch.
Unfortunately in the rush to get that job completed I completely forgot about another job I'd agreed to do for an event that's happening tomorrow. I got an email this evening asking what was up with it, which reminded me, so I spent the last two hours designing that on my out-of-date software here at home. Luckily they're willing to do the printing, copying and folding on this one themselves, so I don't have to go in tomorrow and produce them.
In between all that, we went to visit my mother-in-law in the hospital; she was admitted Wednesday and has an infection that will probably keep her there for a few more. She seemed in good spirits (yay morphine!) so that wasn't a big damper on the night. We ordered some broasted chicken platters and now I can finally relax a little. *zzzz*
