Made breakfast. Worked on the Alpha for a bit. Tried to work on writing. When Gary and his mom came back from church, then it was time for lunch, so fixed that. Then they went back to Chicago because he had to "dance the dark Morris" at sunset. (It's a Terry Pratchett thing.)

Cleaned barns. Took Tess out to the pasture. Drove into Woodstock and picked up my show entries. I didn't realize until now how many there were, since I submitted them in several small batches. Also got stuff for two other people who couldn't be there, and brought it all home.

Gary was going to be back at 8 pm so I planned dinner for 8. He called at 7:30 to say he wasn't going to make it. So... had dinner by myself, left his covered on top of the range. Set up the new aquarium with the bottled water he brought back after church. It looks nice, and runs very quietly, which is good.

Listened to corelog who was kinda mopey tonight. That's his right, I guess. I seemed to be managing to press the wrong buttons so I just shut up and listened mostly. Now it's bed time. Work tomorrow, bleahh.
