Berck’s dad arrived last night. We had Berck’s pot roast and my bread and pie. I tried a new recipe that turned out really well. Berck complains whenever I make a dessert that isn’t chocolate, and he loves meringue, so I found a chocolate meringue pie recipe. It’s a keeper.

Berck and his dad left this morning. They’re driving to Phoenix to pick up a U-Haul trailer, then picking up Jim’s stuff in California, and then driving it to Nashville. It was $200 to trailer from Phoenix to Nashville, as opposed to $800 from California to Nashville. I guess everyone is leaving California. Berck will fly back on Monday next week.

I got to bed rather late last night with all the festivities. We finished inventory last week with a perfect audit, which made my boss extremely happy. But it was a long week. I had eight and a half hours of overtime. Since we were too busy counting to send out any product last week, this week our orders are doubled. I worked today until 5:30 (I’m supposed to get off at 3:30). I was beat. But I came home and took a nice warm bath, and all was right with the world again.

I’m still very tired, though. So I’m going to go to sleep.
