Updates... Not Going as Planned

Hey, all,

Things have been busy around here.  Our old patio was dug up and the new paving stone one was put in. It's lovely and is all finished except for putting in some additional sand for the "grout".  The lady in charge says they let it settle for a few days before they do that.  The hydrangeas are still alive and look like they are thriving.

Golfer and I did some shopping and bought a new grill.  It was delivered yesterday and looks really nice.  Our old one was on its last leg and did not cook evenly.  We also bought some large pots and potting soil and sometime soon I'll get something planted in those for the deck.

FYI --- did you all know that fire pits were a "seasonal" item??  And that season would be Fall/Winter according to the sales person I spoke with.    However, one has been ordered from the Home Depot online store and should be here soon.  Then we plan to roast hot dogs and marshmallows!

And that brings us up to this week.  Golfer left at "0-dark-thirty" Sunday morning on a golf trip with one of the Langley groups.  He's called everyday and he's having a good time.  And I am glad.  I had a large project planned for while he was away and was going to go through a large stack of boxes that have been stored upstairs.  Lots of sorting and cleaning out needs to be done there.  I'm a productive and organized person.  Guess how much I've gotten done.   ZERO!  When we got up Sunday morning I had a headache.  I just figured it was due to the extremely early hour.  I tried to ignore it and worked all day cleaning and doing some extra chores around the house.  By Sunday evening I was sneezing, nose was running, eyes were watering.  I was miserable.  And it only got worse.  I went to work on Monday morning so I could get the Church's newsletter finished and mailed and I haven't been back since.  I went to the doctor yesterday and have a pharmacy on the kitchen counter - antibiotics, decongestants, eye drops, cough syrup, Tylenol.  I'm hoping to go back to work tomorrow so I can do the bulletins, but will have to see how I am in the morning.  Just to put things in perspective, - those of you who know me well will understand this - I have felt so awful I haven't even gotten dressed to go get my Starbucks coffee.

Cinder and Cecil are doing well,  although I have gotten the stink eye from Cecil when his breakfast has been late.

I hope all is well with everyone.  Stay safe!  It's time for more pills.
