Sunday: stuff

Today was my last day alone.  While I'm not lonely, the evenings are getting a little long.  Tomorrow morning I'm planning on trying to get more work done than the rest of the weekend.  (Although I did finish the few things on my "really do this" list.)

I brought some more bottles back to Meijer.  This time I focused on the bags of bottles because they don't stack as well in the garage.  I had about the same volume of returns but got $10 less.  Afterwards I went for a walk in a park.  It wasn't as fun alone, but I also didn't get asked "how much longer?" at all.

It was a beautiful day, so after nap time I put up the hammock and read for a bit.

I'm also about to finish the binding on a new bed quilt, which was one of my non-work goals for the weekend.

I just heard that the boys managed to go in the pool four times today, so they achieved their goal too.

Friday: stuff

Today went by quickly.  I did a mix of fun and work, as expected.  I returned $24.90 worth of pop cans...quite a bit, but really only a small dent from a years worth of pop cans (and fizzy waters).

Tornado rested oddly on my legs for a bit.  He was still, but his tail was always moving so he didn't really settle.  (It's good, because it was rather uncomfortable.)

I exercised.

The boys spent over six hours in the pool today.  They only went in three times though, so I guess they haven't quite hit their goal of four times.

Thursday: and they're off!

 All the boys left today for a long weekend in Florida.  There were some plane problems and so they sat in the plane for an extra two hours before they actually took off.  But they made it and were excited to get to Florida and swim in the pool.

As for me, I'm looking forward to a quiet weekend at home.  Well, the seagulls were rather loud this afternoon so I guess it hasn't been too quiet yet.

I have several errands to run tomorrow, including returning at least a few of the pop cans we've accumulated over the last year.  Our garage is really too full of pop cans.  There's also some school work...I'm not really behind in grading but almost.  The other work thing I want to get done is to deal with the game closet.  It's hard to get in and out of it right now based on how the school room is set up, and so games have been getting put outside of it instead.

Of course, there are some fun things I want to do too!  There's quite a bit of quilting and reading and we'll see what else happens.  In the past I've done a good job putzing...a little work, a little play and I'm hoping that happens again this weekend.

 

...not much happened today.   Not much has happened this week, to be honest.  We're just going along.  School, work, naps, traps, screen time, Legos.

Sunday: Bible presentation

The kindergarteners got their Bibles at church today.  Since we're not going to church right now, we had Dad and Pat over to still make it a special time.

Thursday: Isaac

Isaac's continued to work on his...battle, I guess you could call it.

Blue finally won vs. red and put it in a cage.  Grey is the new opponent.

 

I feel like there are rules, but I'm not really sure what they are.

Tuesday: vaccines and holes

Vaccines: Ben got his second vaccine today!  He almost didn't get it because Joshua got a cold this past weekend and gave it to Isaac and Ben.  Since runny nose is on some lists as a COVID symptom, including Ben's employer, they went to get tested yesterday.  The results were supposed to come back in 24 hours, but it was 24 hours and nine minutes.  I know, I know...that nine minutes shouldn't be a big deal.  But Ben couldn't get his vaccine until we heard back and the babysitter was on standby until we got the results.  It was annoying.  Not really annoying for anyone else, but annoying for us.  But they came back in time, the babysitter came over, and Ben was able to get his shot.

In other vaccine news, I'm considered fully vaccinated now!

Holes: Isaac announced after dinner that my new laundry basket has 236 [side] holes.  Then he mentioned that it's really 238 holes because of the hand holds.  So I naturally thought it should be 239 because of the top hole.  Isaac disagreed.  I think Ben disagreed too.  I stand by my assertion though.  Hmm...it's my basket, maybe I should label it.
