Mornin’, everyone.
It’s a lovely 66F and sunny with an expected high of 88F. The clouds are supposed to start moving in later today, but there is no rain in the forecast for today or tomorrow.
We went to a greasy spoon for breakfast yesterday, where I attempted to eat a Denver omelet and some hashbrowns. I couldn’t finish either; it was too much food. The food was pretty decent.
After breakfast, we went to the Tacoma Art Museum and walked from that Museum to the Washington State Museum of History. Both had excellent exhibits. While I had been to the history museum before, I had not attended TAM. I didn’t like a couple of the exhibits (art is in the eye of the beholder, after all), but I did enjoy some others. The history museum had some new exhibits I enjoyed and some I had seen in a previous visit. I liked all the Clovis and Native American exhibits. They had many beautiful baskets, hats, and carvings that were just stunning. The beautiful Clovis points were beautiful too. I also enjoyed the Washington State geology exhibit, where we went from pre ice age to now.
This post was interrupted by a bird slamming into my great room window. The little guy was completely stunned (red-breasted nuthatch), and I didn’t want to leave him on the ground because some cats keep coming to my yard, although I keep shooing them away. Anyway, I put the bird in the box for a bit a bit, but his little foot was caught on the towel, so I had to unhook the foot gently. It didn’t want to leave my hand again, so I let it sit there until it could fly off, which it did after giving me a parting poop in the hand. So, I had a bird in my hand, along with a poo.
shoe, girl, you must get better at self-care. I know it’s hard, been there, done that, but I hope you can find a way to look after yourself. Sending hugs and thoughts of serenity.
sari, I’m glad your son seems to be engaged the in the move/look process.
After our late breakfast and museum jaunt, we returned home. Of course, I couldn’t sit still for long, so I started rearranging planters and pots in my little container garden area. Once I did that, I realized how much I hate the original pavers I put down a few years ago, and now I want to finish that area out with the ones I put down a few days ago. But it’ll take around 20 more pavers, and some weigh 65 pounds a piece. There is no way I want to load those on a cart, trundle them to the Jeep, load them in the Jeep, then unload them from the Jeep and finally have to move them around as I lay them. On top of that, I have to remove all the old pavers, and finally, there are those really heavy bags of sand and gravel base. I have to see if I can get all that delivered.
My husband rolled his eyes and said he thought it looked it fine, but the reason he did that is he doesn’t want to have to move pavers around. I don’t expect him to do that; I’ll do it.
I don’t have anything on the agenda for today. I might go down to the nursery in the valley, or I might just stay here.
Alrighty then. On with the day. Need to run the dishwasher and water plants now.
This week hasn’t been bad or difficult or anything, just kind of strangely long. So far the day has been relatively quiet, and at 1:16pm (when I started this post) I’m mostly caught up* so I’m taking a break to eat some lunch and putz around with y’all.
The gym has a bunch of classes, all of which are included in my monthly membership fee, so I’ll likely look into one of those at some point as well.
