What I'm Reading This Week #27
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've got the day off to enjoy. I would really appreciate the weather dialing it back from Satan's taint to dryish heat please. I'm not even asking for much. Like 83 degrees would make me happy at this point but there's no end in sight to the 90's. The Mr and I have both been plagued with migraines this week. He had a two day event and I had an ocular migraine which is just so crappy to deal with since you can't read or do anything until your vision isn't screwed up. I got to wait on hold for an hour Tuesday with the state tax department so I decided to sand and prime the newel post while listening to hold music designed to make you hang up. To quote Bugs Bunny "he don't know me vewy well, do he?" I got that squared away and later went out between pop up storms to deadhead some zinnias which you may have seen in Wednesday's post. Speaking of Wednesday, it was a busy day in the ga...
Weather and both of our feet/legs permitting it would be nice to paddle this weekend but don't be in a rush if it doesn't feel right. You're right about summer though - it's flying by! Fall is really on the radar now!
ReplyDeleteI like the last of those fancy cabinets - I could really use a drawer for my pans/lids/plastic containers instead of them all being piled together in my "cupboard of doom". Maybe I'll go out today and buy a plastic tote that will fit and see how that works, and if it does I can install a drawer later. Some of those ideas are really great, but I have no room for them.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend! I hope your legs are up to some fun. I'll be finishing up decluttering/deep cleaning my upstairs this weekend and then tackle the basement in small chunks.
I'm all about body language and energy around my pups. They are so in tune to my energy, thus why I cannot cry or yell in front of them if I'm upset. When Elsie got into the skittles I didn't say a word to her; just quietly stood in front of her and had a stare down. She ended up hanging her head and laying at my feet. She KNEW what she did and I didn't have to say a word. I wouldn't engage her the rest of the night and she was not happy about that. A toy got flung on my lap. A head rested on my knee. A lick to my hand. Me? Nada. Would not make eye contact with her. I resumed normal activities the next morning with her and you'd think she just won the dog lottery. LOL Hand signals work best with Finn - must be the border collie in him. =o)
ReplyDeleteGoing out to mom's today to check on the car battery, then will go out there again tomorrow morning and hopefully get that all taken care of. So lots of driving. And I'm excited for the Olympics to start.
Enjoy your weekend and be extra careful with your legs and feet! xoxoxo
