- Monday = cleaned out closets and dresser, bagged and ready for donation pickup. Also made future doctor appointments for those annual checkups we all love (especially those of us who need an endoscopy, ugh).
- Tuesday = oral surgeon, two teeth needed to be pulled (failed root canals). Didn't want both teeth pulled at the same time, got one pulled now, the other will be later.
- Wednesday = car dealership, regular maintenance and checkup on the eight year old car. If I want to keep my life without car payments, I have to keep up with the maintenance. Transmission fluid changed (oil change done a couple weeks ago), and tires rotated, everything else is fine (knock on wood).
- Thursday = Happy 4th! Hubby and I went to brunch with MIL. So much easier than a BBQ. No heat to deal with, no dirty dishes, no trying to make everyone happy with the right food choices, well worth every penny. We went to a local chain restaurant with a fantastic salad bar (always my order), Ruby Tuesday. Once home, drank some wine and watched Capitol fireworks on TV when it became dark.
- Friday = washed kitchen floor, vacuumed & dusted, washed all laundry, including bedding, towels and rugs. I also went to the UPS Store and JC Penney to return clothes that I had mail ordered which didn't fit. Now I just wait for the refunds to come rolling in.
- Saturday = I took a four hour nap! I haven't taken a nap in probably 40 years. It was wonderful, I must remember to do that again sometime. Not much accomplished today, but I'm well rested!
- Sunday (today) = manicure/pedicure time!
I'm attending another high school reunion next weekend for the class ahead of mine, all classes are invited = nails done!
You'll recall we had a new roof put on our house the first week of June. If you don't recall, click *here*. We loved the sun tunnel so much, we called the contractor and had another one installed in our kitchen. Hubby says "that's it, don't ask for anymore sun tunnels". The sun tunnel brightens up a dark area so well (as long as the sun is shining anyway). Now you know where our vacation money goes - sun tunnels and new roof.
With all the rain we've been having, the garden is coming along just lovely. I hope everything comes to fruition!
The chicken wire is to keep the deer out of the garden.
Most of all, I've had a week without an alarm clock, well almost. The oral surgeon required an x-ray and referral from my regular dentist. When I called my regular dentist to tell them I would swing by on Tuesday morning to pick these up before my 11:30am oral surgeon appointment, the dentist's receptionist insisted I come in at 8:30am for the updated x-ray, ugh. I set the alarm for 6am for a shower and my coffee & news before heading out. On Wednesday, I had to drop my car at the dealership at 7am (alarm went off at 5:30am).
Speaking of deer, here's a blurry shot (sorry, I have to be fast because deer are fast), of our latest visitor. A baby deer that still has spots.
I feel like I just finished the first day of school and told the class "how I spent my summer vacation". I could use more time off, but grateful for the job I have and able to return to work tomorrow with quite a bit accomplished!
Hope you are enjoying your summer. Stay cool!
