Today's Scrabble

Today in Scrabble news, we moved our game down to the 18th floor, because the conference room on the 19th floor that we like to play in has been reserved at noon on Thursdays from now until March for some other person's meeting. We are now using the room directly below our usurped room. And Liam has reserved it on the calendar for every Thursday until March. :)

It was a two-game day: Kristina, Jean, and Kari in one game, and Christine, Liam, and I in another game.

My words:
28 points - QUA/AM
10 points - ED(I)TS
20 points - TRAVEL/ET
33 points - FANNY
15 points - ARDOR
17 points - RING/GHOSTS
28 points - SUES/HELPERS
13 points - WAIVE
06 points - HE
-2 to Liam, who went out first
168, final score

Liam ended with a 159, and Christine with a 202. She played some excellent words. The crown goes to Kristina for the week, though, because she rocked in her game. She landed a bingo bonus word, and several nice high-scoring words involving the X and Q. Kristina's final score: 230. I gave her the crown, and she refused to put it on for a picture. Darn.

tired, tired, tired

I'm so incredibly tired. I think I'm going to get ready for bed as soon as I finish this post.

I am attempting to be kind to myself. There are certain things that need to get done before I go to Key West. Those things include making copies of my essay, packing, returning library books, and scheduling bill payments. There are things that don't need to be done before I go to Key West. It would be nice if those things got done, but it's not necessary. The only things I need to do are to (A) assemble the items I need to take with me, and (B) send money to places so I won't get my utilities turned off. That is seriously it. I think I can maybe handle that.
