I'm so glad to FINALLY have a weekend to just lie around with my feet up (I'm avoiding the "eating bonbons" part as I've finally lost a few pounds & want to continue THAT momentum!) for a little while. Hubby dearest is painting the garage floor to minimize dust out there; the laundry room is next, & I hope to get to the Y for my mile walk on the treadmill this afternoon.
Last weekend saw us running amok between a (3 hrs one way on the Interstate!) trip to Pickens for a swim championship, younger son's 20th birthday celebration at my mother-in-law's house (thanks, Mom!), & hubby doing more substantial than anticipated automotive repairs to both boys' vehicles. Yes, it was a pain for him to do an oil change, replace an entire cooling system, & change front end brake pads in the parking lot of an apartment complex--but in the long run we're relieved, because now we know the cars are again mechanically as safe as possible for our offspring.
The past week was relatively quiet at work, though I was still busy between catching up all the mandatory paperwork & taking a client to an appointment in order to "git'r done" before school resumes around 8/20. (Yes, ALREADY!!!) Today I skipped my religious choral obligation in favor of sleeping in, making waffles from scratch for the girls & myself, & helping to clear out the laundry room so hubby can perhaps paint (at least part of) that floor later today. (Hubby fed himself & was sweeping the garage floor by the time I considered waffling.)
What does the future hold? One never knows, but I know ours holds a mortgage burning celebration (likely around Christmas) and exploring an eventual move from Sweltering Ovenville in the next decade. Stay tuned for further developments in the continuing story (no, we're not quacks who've gone to the dogs!!!). ;)
