How nice it is to have both boys home for awhile. William will be spending the summer here because his job is only a few miles away, and Kyle will be here for a month and then he’ll start his job back in New York. But for now, I’m thinking that it’s pretty nice having both boys in the house. The only thing that I’m not used to is making meals. With Daryl and I only home, the meals change. We found ourselves just finding anything during the week and then going out on the weekends for supper. So this is kind of a change for me to go back to cooking again. Now I’m not complaining, it’s just a change thinking about groceries again. So for snacks today I made a batch of cookies and have two pounds of beef jerky cooking.
So another change is the amount of laundry that we’ve got again. Now normally I really enjoy doing laundry, but the weather today is so crappy that nothing can be hung out on the clothes line. Because the area in our laundry room is very limited where I can hang wet clothes, I’m only doing a couple of loads a day until we can catch up. Both boys have also been busy working on organizing their rooms and their clothes, and I know that there’s going to be a road trip to Good Will in the near future.
I mentioned that it was really bad weather today. It’s windy, rainy, and also cold. Not very good for the Memorial Day activities! One friend of ours always goes on a motorcycle ride this time of the year, and yesterday in Wisconsin he said he had snow flurries. OK, that’s probably worse than our weather. But with the wind that’s out there today, I had to put my flowers that I bought yesterday in the car shed because the crazy wind was just whipping them around and banging them up. I was just thinking of that guy from the greenhouse and how disappointed that he would be in me if he saw them blowing around like that.
The bottom got kind of banged around a little bit.
So I hung this planter in the car shed for now. My plan for today was to get all the outside flowers and garden stuff done, but with the wind that’s blowing outside – no way! And for Day 2 of our running program? No outside running for today. But you know what? I weighed myself this morning and I gained two pounds. Not cool. Not cool at all!
