Tues 30 Apr

Found out that UWSP is doing the musical, "The Producers" opening this weekend. I was able to get two seats for opening night so I'm excited. I was surprised to see my scale up slightly this morning since I ate very carefully yesterday and got some extra walking in, but then I remembered that I retain water when the weather warms up. The downside to the warmer weather, however, is that the centipedes are now coming out and about. I caught a corner-of-the-eye glimpse of one this morning that appeared to be the size of a small cat. This morning is the annual employee recognition for people who have been with the county in multiples of five years. I will be getting my 35-year award today. Woo hoo. My "award" was a little engraved medal not unlike the ones you kids used to get for participation in choir to pin on letter jackets, but also a $50 check. The check will be useful in St. Maarten. Wow! It's 79 degrees out there at lunch time! I'd forgotten it could get that warm. Got our first hike in at Rib tonight! Had to dig down deep to make it all the way to the top, but I have a sense of accomplishment for having done it. We went to the Dane after, and I was somewhat disappointed that they changed their awesome grilled cheese sandwich. It was still delicious, but now it's not really grilled but served on a cheesy ciabatta bun with avocado, tomato, and grilled onion.
