I was busy most of the day today–another cold day here in the metro DC area–and even as the day ended there was no relief in sight. I managed to talk my way into a meeting that I thought started at 2 PM, and did start at 2 PM, only in the wrong time zone. So I rushed home from the office in time to call into a two hour meeting that lasted from 5 – 7 PM. By the time it was over, I was hungry. I had some tomato bisque soup for dinner and made a grilled cheese sandwich to go along with it.
A few odds and ends taken care of today. I managed to squeeze in a haircut this morning. I finally got around to adding Kelly to my auto insurance. She can cancel hers tomorrow. I also met briefly with our financial adviser to begin the process of planning for the coming family expansion and all that it entails.
The February SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN came in the mail today, as did the March ASIMOV’S and the December/January BULLETIN of the Science Fiction Writers of America. Also a few statements from the insurance company, indicating that they have now paid for some of our OB doctor appointments. (Originally, they were trying to bill Kelly’s insurance first, but since she canceled her insurance when she got on mine, there were some delays in payment until the computer records were sorted out. It has all now been resolved.)

And I need to get back to the gym.
