Preparing for the Labor Day Weekend

I continue to improve. This morning I did some heavier housecleaning -- including mopping floors -- in preparation for visitors. Our friend Michelangelo (pictured) is coming up this evening from Chicago to spend a few days. He usually visits over Labor Day to go to the Wisconsin State Cow Chip Festival. He will depart on Monday and then Helen will arrive on Tuesday for a few days. So we will be busy a bit. I plan to take a day out of all the activity to recoup my energy, and I told Tom I will also take care of preparing dinner that evening so he and Michelangelo can go have fun somewhere without worrying about food when they get home. Next Wednesday I have my follow-up appointment with the surgeon and on Thursday expect to begin my new slightly-longer workday at the library.

Michael just called while I was typing to say he is an hour or so away. Tom's spaghetti sauce has been cooking all afternoon and should be perfect by the time he arrives. In consideration of my slit throat, he (Michael) has promised a chocolate mousse, so we will see ...

That's about it.  Have a good weekend, wherever you are and with whomever you spend it!
