What I'm Reading This Week #23
Hello there! We made it to Friday. Halleluyer! Did anyone else get that collection of butt hot days earlier in the week? No thanks. Oh yeah, you know what's fun? When you're watering your plants and you're wondering why mushrooms are starting to grow in planters and you check the bottom and realize the reason you got a great deal is because there are no drainage holes. 😤 So I had to tip the planters and drill one big one not only in the 4 smaller ones, which was hard enough but also the two big 16" ones holding the clematises. Nothing like drowning your plants for 3 weeks. I mean for real, who sells those? I've never in my life bought planters that didn't have drainage holes. So there's a tip for you to make sure you check your planter bottoms before planting anything. Oh then yesterday, I went out to water after a super hot day and brought the tape out in case I saw nasties on the leaves. Well, I'll sp...
I may take the lights down if the weather allows for it. I hate taking them down if it's too cold not just because it sucks to do it in the cold but also because the wires tend to be stiffer and can actually get damaged with too much handling while frozen. Other than getting a few things like that done around the house, I got nothing in terms of what to do for the weekend. Anyone got any good movie recommendations?
ReplyDeleteWe grocery shopped today for next week and the hubs took down the Christmas stuff in the bay window so we can see out again. It's super cold out with the wind, so we threw on the new grill cover and the hubs really liked it with the air vent. We take one of the pooches swimming tomorrow, then it's house stuff until I go to work. The other pooch has a birthday on Monday so he'll get some extra lovin' this weekend. I had a colonoscopy planned for the end of the month and cancelled that due to the massive outbreak here. The scheduler whispered into the phone that it was a good idea not to come to the hospital right now because it was really, really bad. Poor girl. I recorded the figure skating from last weekend so I'm finally down to the last one to watch with the men's long program. I'll do that after the hubs goes to bed and I can sprawl out and hit replay as many times as I want. LOL I hope you guys have a good weekend and there is construction silence for you for a few days!!
ReplyDeleteI'm test driving a car this afternoon. I've been looking for something inexpensive with a manual transmission to teach the kid on for a long time, and I found something I think will work. It's older than I hoped for, but low mileage makes up for that. Wish me luck. Other than that, nothing exciting. Some housework, grocery shopping, and some Dr. Who from the marathon I recorded.
ReplyDeleteOur school is on remote learning this next week so at some point I need to redo all of my lesson plans to make them remote friendly. I think the admin made a good call, but we didn't find out until Thursday at lunch (4 day week) and I'd already done all my plans once. I wish we had known Wednesday or even Thursday morning.
