Summer job. She didn’t budget for having 2 months off and either she didn’t set up a year-round pay schedule or Orange County doesn’t do that. Disney only pays $8/hr, but as an employee, she can visit the park for free for a year, so that’s like a $500 bonus. I just hope she gets enough hours to cover the cost of driving there and back, since she lives close to Univ of Central Fl, which is east of Orlando and the park is southwest of the city. It’s about 35 miles and includes a toll road.
Back from erranding, altho I didn’t get my meds - they weren’t ready, so we went to Food Lion first, then I forgot to go back to CVS. I’ll pick them up tomorrow on the way home from the gym since it’s on the way.
It’s overcast and humid out - I thought today was supposed to be sunny and nice??
**FCD **is off buying new blades for the riding mower. The tip on one of them was bent down about 90° so it was making gouges in the lawn. Stoopit mower…
My husband, son and I had a very nice outing yesterday. We went up to the Seattle Pacific Science Center for their Spy and Espionage exhibit. It was actually very cool and there was a lot to see. After we checked that exhibit out, we went and saw some of the other exhibits, one of which included a butterfly house. It was very hot and humid in there, but the butterflies sure were pretty. Unfortunately, I could never seem to get a good shot of some of the more colorful butterflies. I only had my cell phone with me, so the pictures I took weren’t terribly terrific shots.
Traffic was insane up there due to a baseball game and a marathon, but we managed to get through it.
We came home from Seattle and just relaxed around the house. Today’s activities will consist of a trip to the grocery store, yard work and laundry. Tomorrow, it’s back to the pits of hell, AKA my office.
**FCD **had to go to Lowe’s for the blades, and I decided to be nice and mow the ditch. I am now all hot and sweaty and probably stinky, but the weeds have been beaten into submission. We’ll see if he notices when he gets home…
I’ve closed up the house, dammit, and I’m having a cool drink. I do not like summer, and it’s not even that hot yet. Stoopit summer.
Howdy Y’all! Deheathenization and N.O.L. have been accomplished. We had a supply Priest as YP and family are on vacation in Argentina. He shall return at some point this week. The supply Priest is a good friend and a great preacher so it was good. N.O.L. was equally good. Good food. Good wine. Good company. Everyone is gone, kitchen is all clean and dishwasher is dishwashin’ away. All is well.
Feeling terribly healthy today- walked to the allotment (about twenty minutes away) chopped down a small tree, picked fruit, walked back. However, I have discovered the bananananas I had are definitely past their best, so some bananana cake makin’ may be in order. This may contain fruit, but ain’t precisely what one could call healthy.
On a side note, if you actually search for banananana cake recipes, Google gets slightly confused
‘Tis rainin’ as I post. A nice steady rain that I wish would hang on for a couple of hours. I hear boombooms in the distance as well. Sunday afternoon excitatement abounds!
Supper was very yum, and there’s enough chicken left over to maybe make chickie-n-dumplins. Or chickie salad. We shall see. The dishwasher is just about done washing the dishes, and I’m about to recline the evening away.
MMPers, much as y’all would revel in my tale as a lead for tomorrow, I ain’t yet up to that much typing. I will start it tonight, and I will promise to include the two letters I’m writing to the hospital and the original blow-off surgeon. That will be a fun challenge, because it will say “fuck you” and “thank you” on the same sheet.
