Sunday was clean-up the yard, remove the tables and chairs,
tents, games and décor, took a boat ride with swimming, followed up with saying
good bye to family. Yesterday I did
nothing. Not a thing. I was bone tired. An evening boat ride, a
late invite to have leftovers and ice cream before bed. We deserved that. But, today is back at it.
So, its early on a Tuesday, I’ve checked my email, checked
Facebook, responded to a couple things, looked at my budget, started a grocery
list, folded some laundry and the beach towels, and committed to two hours
outside weeding flowers and believe it or not, I still have a couple plants to
get into pots or the ground. I was outside for an hour, lugging water and weed
snips all around the yard when the humidity struck. After almost none for three
or four days and some beautiful, breezy weather, the return of the humidity at
8:00 a.m. was a bit of a surprise. While
I did get everything watered the weed snipping will have to wait for a
bit. As sweat rolled down my face and
off my chin I wondered what the heck was I doing and a return to nothing quickly
took over my schedule. I may get some things done later today, like maybe I
will go to the grocery store since I have put that off for about a week, even
with the parties and house guests.
I used to not mind the grocery store, now, it’s not my
favorite thing to do. I try to use a
menu and a list, so I can minimize the strolling the aisles, but I am again in
a rut with what to prepare for dinner.
It is sometimes good that hubs will eat anything and doesn’t complain
over sandwiches for dinner much ~ as long as there are “real” meals every
couple of days. He understands it’s
boring, hot, boring and planning dinners for 40+ years has lost its sheen. Add
to that I don’t have as much as an appetite as he has, and things can get
pretty lean around here. I can’t pass up
a good charcuterie board though and could make a dinner from one without
batting an eye. He is not a big cheese
fan and even so, that’s a snack not dinner in his eyes.
I can also get by with a bowl of cereal for dinner…and not
gonna lie, this morning I had cherry pie for breakfast.
