This has been the week of frustrations. In between everything else I was doing, I go to make soap and I can't find my new burners, I go to make bath salts and my scale is dead, I try and rearrange and get things set up, and I don't have enough outlets. I tried real hard to make soap this week, it just didn't happen…
Monday: Errand day: my dad came by to visit and we installed the a/c in the bedroom. Now at least I'm not totally baking in this 90+ heat. I spent the day going to the post office, getting our new membership at BJ's, picking up plants for the pond (and tadpoles!), dropping off boxes at recycling and purchasing bath salts and lip gloss containers. Even had time to make an eye doctor's appointment.
Tuesday: I repotted some plants that were bought as a gift. Got together a graduation gift for a friend's daughter. I brought the garbage out, which included going through the house and emptying all the little trash bins we have in the office and such (for some reason I hate doing this, I don't know why)
Wednesday: I had a meeting at Mainline Art Center to talk about how the spring craft fair went. It was the best that they ever had, quite an accomplishment. When I got home I spent time looking for new shows for next year and generally cleaning out some of the stuff that has piled onto my desk- like prospective shows, suppliers, and miscellaneous recipes I want to try.
Thursday: Went to my eye doctor appointment. My eyes are no worse than last year, the new contacts I want to try actually come in my prescription, and I found glasses that weren’t too expensive, so now I'll have a pair for emergencies (when I can't wear my contacts). That was a good visit! I cleaned up the house because C comes home this evening, did some laundry and went to the PO.
Friday: Ran to Target in the morning, and then after C got done working; we spent the rest of the day putting together new shelves in my storage room. This let me rearrange the basement and almost get everything out of boxes and into some sort of order.
Saturday: Went to Home Depot and bought a new freezer for the business. It was a little bigger than the one I initially wanted, but its perfect! We also got an A/C for the living room and while C installed it I went and visited B at a show near me. The show was real bad, and we prayed for rain so she could go home, and lo and behold, it poured cats & dogs. But she got to go home early! After that I came home and got ready to bring C to dinner for his birthday. We went to this really nice grill house and ate really good food. It was the first time in a while we have actually sat across from one another at a table at a restaurant where there aren't 6 screaming kids seated next to us. I felt all grown up.
Sunday we rested. We spent the morning cleaning the car port, playing with the new weed whacker and shrub trimmer and generally cleaned up the side yard near the pond and made a plan for our future gardening. We decided what we want to put in the front yard, where the herb garden will go, where to put in some vegetables, and what plant to put around the pond. Now we just need a pond fountain and I think we'll be going well
