Dana and I both went to the doctor yesterday. What a sickly pair. After swallowing razor blades all night Monday, I wasn’t going to wait around to see how bad it got. Sinus infection as usual. Tried to rest in the afternoon, but many things called for my attention. JW and I went to the office supply store for pencil cushions. Walk the dog. Bath the boy. Get to bed.
The first week of school has come and gone. JW was so excited all week and that’s awesome. I was excited too. JW has made his lunch and helped to get himself together all week. He is even enjoying UE encore. Didn’t work too late. Dana was feeling better and went to work. We ate leftover spaghetti for dinner.
Even though I never really had a summer vacation, this feels like my last day of summer. Tomorrow is the day that all staff are back and families show up for a meet and greet. Tuesday will be the first day of classes for some students. So I tried to sleep as late as I could this morning and that was 7:30. You know how you don’t want to waste the day away, so I got up and made coffee. Took Billy for his first walk of the day and did some work on my computer. Did some cleaning around the house and then went to the grocery store. After lunch, Billy and I ran an errand to the school to put away some indoor/outdoor carpeting. More work around the house. Made some dinner. Another walk where we ran into Billy’s friend Bonnie (and she’s gotten big). They played until they dropped. Back home and rushing to get a last few things done before going to bed. We miss Mae Mae and JW!
Billy woke up early. 6:30 to be exact. After a quick walk, I went to the store to get some half and half. The day was spent do odds and ends around the house and garage. I took Billy for a long walk before noon. After a shower I went to eat lunch at El Rodeo. More work around the house. Billy and I went to visit his girlfriend Kerry. A quick dinner and then another long walk for Billy. A little computer work and time for bed.
Coffee on the screen porch. It was a little cooler which was nice. Did some yard work — agitated my already hurting rotator cuff injury. Aaaarrrgghhh! It makes me mad, because I feel like I need to lay off of working out now. Anyway… Pappy came back from cuzzin’ Bill’s. We ran errands. JW played with Matthew and Nick. I cooked chili.
Jackson had me up early to hang out with him. I wanted to get several things completed from my to do list and struck out with good intentions, but was tripped up along the way and ended up adrift on a sea of what to do now. We ended the day having Aidan Barry over for a sleepover and eating some good ice cream from a place called Fresh.
Off to work early. Made some headway on the website. JW came to school around 10am. After a trip to Target and home we came back to school and stayed until almost 4pm. We went to swim at Linda’s and JW was set to spend the night with her grandson. Dana and I went to eat at Winston’s and then I went back to school and worked until 10pm. JW called and said he didn’t feel good and came home.
After a long day of flight delays, I made it home around 11pm last night. Billy was extremely excited to see me! Jackson came and got in bed with me around 6am. Dana took him to camp at 9 and I took my time to get ready and finally went in around 10:45. Said hello to everyone and did some work. Went to lunch after help out in JW’s camp. Did a little more work in the afternoon and cleaned up at the end of the day. JW and I hung out while Dana met a friend for drinks.
Up early and off to breakfast before the conference. Meeting lots of interesting and diverse people at the conference. They are from all over the US and the world. Haven’t learned a lot of new stuff yet, but enjoying hearing about everyone’s issues. Waiting to go to dinner with “my group”.
