  1. Good morning! Concrete guys arrived and are hard at work digging up the yard in two places. dh is working from home- hopefully he will be at the office tomorrow. No one is working at the office except for a few people- so he is productive but lonely. It has been hard to be an extrovert who thrives on personal interaction the last few months. Also he is missing his choirs very much. We were up early- marking out the patios. Also I cleaned out my closet/ switched out some clothes-it's the time of year here where you need four seasons of clothes and you might wear them all in a single day. school with ds3 (he was up early working- slightly behind after State) work a little in sewing room checked the tree shipment- now they are not coming until Thursday!! book a hotel to go and see dd2 ds3 to gym/also headed to club team practice/ hit with doubles partner later read plan out errands for tomorrow or Wednesday crochet and watch football tonight not sure what else Have a great day!
  2. Up early- ds3 headed to the gym- lost in the semi final to the defending champ who successfully defended. Donuts and coffee, paper read, garden watered and back yard picked up for the concrete guys who are coming early tomorrow. Next up: trip to furniture store with dh to check out sideboards then crochet, football, and probably a nap Have a great day!
  3. Good morning! I am not planning too much today. dh and ds3 will be home late this afternoon. coffee/paper water garden clean porch and front walkways get tennis updates read a library book not sure what else Have a great day!
  4. Hey there= afternoon check in! I cleaned the kitchen while waiting for the mulch. Moved 3.5 cubic yards of mulch. The front yard is looking nice- much nicer to plan a garden when it looks like it is waiting for plants! No trees- FedEx is confusing- it said it sent it back to the shipper- now it says Monday by end of day. I really hope they are in decent condition by then. ds3 is into the semi-finals at State! Next up: drink more water, shower, a little laundry, ordering dinner and reading, watching some TV and enjoying the quiet here.
  5. Good morning! I have been up and running around this morning. Dentist for ds3, watered the garden, grocery, library, and dropped off a return at Kohl's. Did some electronic chores as well. Next up: read library book wait for trees plant trees see guys off for State relax before the busy day tomorrow of mulch delivery Have a great day!
  6. moved the pile of lumber, put down the paper mulch. Trees are coming tomorrow- so that will be the main chore. I forgot that dh was going to a funeral today- so I didn't get to the library. I have to do that tomorrow before the guys leave for State. Took a quick shower. walk over to high school courts in 30 minutes for awards
  7. Dentist- sigh. Could have been worse, could have been better. dropped off a package Need to get motivated for some yard work- but honestly I am a little tired. Things to do for the day moved some lumber school with ds3 move some rock get paper mulch laid down library- opens at 1 pm today quick awards after hs tennis today- last practice ds3 lesson at 7 not sure what else Have a great day!
  8. Hi there- checking in after my busy day. I finished painting the fence- woo hoo! Tomorrow I will start laying out the paper mulch (that is supposed to come tomorrow) and get the yard read for the mulch delivery on Friday. But first, I (finally) have a dentist appointment at 8 am tomorrow. Probably it will be a disaster- thanks to Covid, I am over a year from last appointment. My March appointment was canceled and then an August appointment was moved to early September, then late September and then cancelled all together. This is a different dentist (every dentist that takes our insurance seems to be flakey and full and getting farther away from our town)- and dh got an appointment for me (somebody cancelled- what? Don't they know they will never get another appointment?). So that's the big excitement for tomorrow. Have a great night!
  9. fence is primed surprise arrival of plants put in garden watered gardens ds3 is at practice and then to different courts to work on his serve- he is fairly happy with his draw for State- not the best, not the worst leftovers for dinner laundry is in dryer I am about to park myself on the couch for the night😁
  10. Good morning! Busy day here. coffee/paper finish priming new picket fence (1/2 done yesterday) drop a package at UPS hardware store school with ds3 confirm ds3's arrangements for State probably some house things as well- watch football tonight Have a great day!
  11. Well, I barely finished two of the very small areas before the tiller stopped working. Brand new and first time using it. So disppointing and the support chat left much to be desired. Also- everyplace is out of what I need. So today ended up not being very productive at all. order more supplies- done wait for ds3 to come home so we can go order mulch figure out edging solution- random concrete is making this much harder than it should be probably shower and get back to the sewing room figure out new list of things to get done
  12. Good morning! I have been to Home Depot, Walgreens and the Post Office already. HD was out of the mulch I like- so I am debating whether to order it or have it delivered in bulk. The fence is complete- two gates to be put in, and pickets need to be painted. I plan to be outside most of the day with the tiller and moving some flagstones. It would have been good to have some mulch- but I will figure it out. dh is better, but not ready for yard work- ds3 can help with heavy things this afternoon. finish second cup of coffee till beds near porch- put down the mulch I have maybe run out to local stone/mulch place and see what they have- their supplies have been low this month ds3 hit with friend- so no car for the morning figure out some edging by sidewalk watch a little college football read? not sure what else Have a great day!
  13. The runner turned out lovely. Some picking up and a little cleaning happened. We are all home for the night- brats for dinner. Have a nice evening!
  14. Finished the runner- it is in the washer now. Mom's present is half done. Sil's Christmas gift is complete- looks super cute. Since I am doing Christmas themed things- I will mail them right before Thanksgiving. Sent in ds3's grades to high school office Brought in mail. I am going to read for a little while and then do some cleaning.
  15. Went to the grocery store, told dh that he can decide on the gate latch since he has a platonic ideal of latch and doesn't seem to want a compromise. Is he crazy with the fence? Yes. Now I am eating lunch and then will work on the runner.
  16. Good morning! I have been out in the garden- now that we have nice weather again- several plants are setting new blooms. Maybe it will stay nice enough for long enough to see them! We are supposed to have concrete patios poured next week- but who knows? water-done coffee/paper- still drinking coffee light school day with ds3- he wasn't finished until 7:30 last night- 13 hr day there electronic chores finish up binding the runner, start on the pillow read/crochet ds3 has his own schedule- gym, session with club team grocery store sometime today no idea about dinner Have a great day!
  17. ds3 lost in finals to the defending state champion. But he did make State- so yay for that. That is next week. My fabric came- so tomorrow's projects are set. I am making excellent progress and feel quite accomplished. ds3 and dh are still gone- not sure when they will be home. Also not sure what we are doing for dinner. My bet is pizza for the boy.
  18. Too many mistakes in the sewing room. Time for a break. ds3 won his first game- into the quarters. dh is feeling better- going to try to watch the next match through binoculars. I am sure he will not be the only parent with such ideas. fence guy is here- woo hoo! Up next: crochet, read, wait for tennis updates dust if feeling motivated clean ktichen if super motivated
  19. Good morning! I am up early- ds3 had to meet his team for warm-ups (at their home court) and then he heads for regionals. No parent and no spectators allowed for the 12 hour day. Disappointing for me- hugely disappointing for parents of seniors (half our team). Apparently, players can go to the parking lot to pick up food- no team meals, no team snacks, even team provided water bottles are not allowed at the team tent. The parents have donated coolers and food to live in the coach's pickup bed in the parking lot- we'll see if that gets around the draconian rules and surprisingly enthusiastic enforcement of said rules. And there is no streaming either. So I hope he has a good day- I will be on call for food delivery. Dh is still miserable- He is going to try to get a telemedicine appointment today. coffee/paper- ongoing some more laundry sewing room stuff- still waiting on fabric read/crochet wait for tennis updates probably some food pick-up probably also a pharmacy pick-up pick up ds3- probably around 6 Have a great day!
  20. laundry finished, one bathroom cleaned, finished part of dmil's Christmas gift dh tweaked his back painting the fence- he is irked at being middle aged. And it is the first time his back has bothered him in 5 years. Ds3 is at practice Next up: some more sewing, clean the second bathroom, have a snack and clean the kitchen ds3 has a lesson- he is going to drive (35 minutes away) and I am going to pace the worry.
  21. Good morning! I have been out an about to get some new hoses and other garden things for my finally working front yard spigot. I have watered, cleaned up some more snow-damaged plants, and tied up some climbing roses. ds3 is up and working- dh is home today- alternately working and painting fenceposts and rails for our new fence- going up slowly but surely. more school with ds3 ds3 to pick up racket- needs check ds3 practice- regionals tomorrow ds3 to lesson tonight- dh will probably go laundry- started general cleaning- dusting today I think read, crochet experiment with some little projects in the sewing room Have a great day!
  22. Ordered a couple "just because" gifts for the girls. dd2 is definitely struggling. The online format is terrible for her and the covid regulations are absolutely sucking all the joy out of this first semester. It was already going to be a struggle (first semester of D1 swimming is hard, hard, hard) but now it is not much fun either. ds3 went to the store after practice and forget the one item needed for dinner. So we are having pasta. I am laughing pretty hard about that. The plants came and are all in (22 perennials). I showered and am going to read until dinner.
  23. Ds3 has his license! He took off for the gym when we got home from the CLOSED dentist office. I mean, what the heck? Called and left a message- but no word back. I would take this as a bad sign... We have bottom of the barrel insurance and are extremely limited in our choice of providers- so I guess it's back to the drawing board. When ds3 gets back, I will be headed to the library to pick up some holds. At least that is working right! library check delivery window for plants laundry finish first Christmas pillow ds3- practice read and wait for plants clean a little
  24. Good morning! ds3 snagged a slot at the DMV- not sure if it is the right one- the choices are very odd and not very clear as to what appointment is needed. Ah well, we have all the paperwork ready- so here's hoping... We only have one car at home- so I will be spending a lot of time here, I predict. Margaret- prayers for you. coffee/paper DMV race to dentist (will certainly be late- but I don't care so much- this office has been a pain in the neck to deal with) home- ds3 will spread his wings and take the car to gym and practice (provided all goes well) quilt, read, crochet wait for shipments of plants get plants in garden not sure what else- probably stress cleaning pasta for dinner? Have a great day!
  25. Ran ds3 to the gym and picked up some ribbon and thread. Came home to dh loud and irritated on the phone. Escaped to the basement... Next up: do a few blocks, pick up ds3, fill up the car, read a little, eat some lunch, maybe some more sewing, then head out for match.
