Had my son’s family over for his birthday dinner. The little girl is in her shrieky phase, so perhaps the less said about that the better. Overall, the weekend was a success.
This past weekend I went to an estate sale, as I usually do when one is held near me. It’s amazing and occasionally a little disquieting what people collect, and how much of those things they collect. You do find neat things, however, like a huge Ronald McDonald coloring book (which I should have bought, since I bet it’s worth something) or a set of Shriners drum and fife suits and jackets, along with a drum and harness-thing to carry it.
I did pay bills and clean the area that I wanted to clean. An ant infestation led to a spider infestation, which meant a lot of ant-body laden spider webs. Ewww.
Unfortunately I couldn’t get the blinds down, I’m not strong enough
Whew, so I got everything done I needed to last weekend after two weeks on the road, then hit the ground running at work, aiming to relax this weekend. Nope!
Driving to Albuquerque for new tires for the truck tomorrow, and taking the two vehicles for . . .
Shopping and resupply in a “big town” for stuff we can’t get ‘on the hill.’
Sunday is more cleaning and chores, before we have neighbors over for a BBQ, which I gotta cook for.
Then Sun PM, I got asked to help some friends haul some junk to the county dump (in the recently re-shod truck).
Tripler
At least next week, we’re right in line of the eclipse–hiking planned!
My boy is sick. Not any obvious symptoms besides lying down on the floor instead of running around, and just being very lethargic. He slept for about 12 hours last night and he didn’t even play that much when he was supposed to be in bed.
So I got to cancel his 8:30am swim lesson, which means I got to sleep in - I slept until 9:30am! - and now we are cuddled up on the couch watching Ms. Rachel.
Yesterday I said I’d do several useful things today, Sat.
So I was up at 6:30am, had done something minorly useful on the computer by about 7:15am, and it’s now 7:45 pm. In the intervening 12+ hours I ate twice, showered once, and slothed. Period. Haven’t even been out the front door.
Good answer. Has anybody considered the possibility that Juvenal didn’t want a big political debate; he just wanted to know the name of the guy who was sleeping with his wife.
