Weekend Wrap Up...on Wednesday?

Yeah, it's been like that...

I don't have a lot to say even though there's a lot going on...

It was an okay weekend with a lot of stuff and it's been a b*tch of a week so far. 

We had to order a new water heater. I guess I can't complain too much, the old one was installed 20.5 years ago. But still... We also can't pick it up for another 10 days. So far the old one is holding its own even though it's leaking. 

The dog had a really rough day on Monday. We were worried, but she is back to her normal self now. 

This week has sucked for writing. It's been something every evening. Yeah, I know we've only had two so far but...

It's been one thing after another like that. 

But there's a lot to look forward to coming up! I'm especially looking forward to July 4th weekend and camping. And hanging out with K5 to celebrate her turning 16, though that hasn't been planned yet. (I know! 16! Crazy!)

That's all I have...

Behave! 

Feel Good Friday!

What a week! 

I'm very glad it's over! Except it's stupid hot!

Here's the list:

1. Not burning myself when I broke not only one, but two, coffee pots at the day job. And I broke them back to back in super quick succession. I was holding both - one was empty, and one had been full. After the crack, it spewed hot, fresh coffee all over the little kitchenette. But not on me. All I can say is our little kitchen has never been cleaner and the coffee stain on my knee from scrubbing the floor came out in the wash. 

2. Mexican food. 

3. Not getting as much writing done as I wanted this week but getting some. 

4. Plant sales. 

5. Air conditioning. 

That's all I have. It's supposed to be a little cooler this weekend. I hope. Our weekend days are packed with stuff to do and there might be more poison ivy removal in there. Ew. 

Behave! 

Weekend Wrap Up!

What a beautiful weekend! 

Yeah, it's a little hot but we've been pacing ourselves between indoor things and outdoor things. And the thunderstorm last night was completely disappointing. 

The poison ivy, poke berries, and volunteer trees have been removed. Flowers and plants have been planted, transplanted, and moved. 

The oven has been fixed (again). Laundry has been done. Organizing too. 

No socializing happened and no fire was had. Unfortunately. By the time the wind calmed down last night, we were so tired we knew we wouldn't enjoy it much. So we went to bed early. And we did sleep way past alarm time this morning. 

And I've written quite a bit this weekend in addition to getting Redemption out and into the process of getting it ready to go. I've been going through files too. 

Now we're ready to head into another week. Joy. The work week looks the same as usual. Busy with a side of chaos. 

And that is all. 

Behave! 

Feel Good Friday!

Well, we made it! Another long, brutal week in the books. At least that's how the week has been here. 

But through all of the bull and insanity, there is good. 

Here's the list:

1. I have the absolute best friends in the world. They see me and feel me and know just the right things to say and do to make me feel better or just to hold my hand as I travel through some stuff. I am humbled. 

2. The new (again - three times in a year) oven part arriving. 

3. The old gal having more smiley faces than frowny faces this week. (We're tracking good and bad days) And no, I don't want your opinion on what we should do. (not to be rude) We know our girl and we will absolutely not let her suffer no matter how much we don't want to let her go. We're not at decision time yet. We will be soon, but not yet. We do already have a plan for when it is time. Whether or not we'll actually be in control of that remains to be seen. 

4. Despite taking several days off, managing a decent word count this week. It's not enough but it is at the same time. 

5. Air conditioning. 

6. Weekend plans. They are mainly house centered - remove the poison ivy (again), trim the bushes threatening to take over the neighbors house, replant some stuff, clean, blah blah blah. There might be a bit of socializing in there but I'm not sure yet. I am just looking forward to getting some things taken care of and maybe having a nice fire in the firepit with That Man. 

7. Sleeping beyond alarm time. 

8. The gorgeous weather at the beginning of this week. Not so much today and what it's supposed to be like this weekend. 

That's all I have. 

Behave! 

Weekend Wrap Up on Monday...

It was a chaos filled, exhausting, and productive weekend. 

But then...aren't most of them? We cram as much as we can into those precious forty-eight hours. So much so that we start the week totally exhausted. Then our work week sucks us bone dry, leaving us with very little to get through our evenings. 

It's an awful cycle with no chance of breaking free. 

I don't know what the answer is. 

All I know is I'm tired. 

And maybe a little crabby. Ha! 

That's all I have for now. 

Behave!
