Hello and Happy Sunday!

On the Home Front

Sunday ~ Puttered around and read. I tried scrubbing off the white stuff on the deck that's leaching up through the stain, but didn't have any luck with any cleaner or combination until I tried straight up vinegar and some baking soda. So, before I start that project, I'll need more of both so I can finish in one go. Lasagna for dinner.

Monday ~ Anna on OT, so I took Kyle to work. Trip and I planned to work outside for most of the day each day this week. We started out with him doing the weed eating and me mowing. But just doing that wiped us out. Turns out we both were coming down with a cold/flu/covid/plague/whatever. We had scratchy throats and the fatigue after doing that was too much. So we rested the rest of the day. I made sloppy joes and Hamburger Helper for dinner. Thanks Kyle. He was sick all weekend so we got it from him.

Tuesday ~ Took Kyle to work. Had to stop and get gas so no point going back to bed. Trip and I dialing up on the sickness front. We feel like shit. Spent all day watching The Mandalorian (refreshing ourselves for the movie that just came out), drinking tea, and napping. Stanley Cup 🏒begins. Game 1 - Hurricanes lost 4-5 to the Knights at home. 😭

Wednesday ~ Took Kyle to work. I think I had a fever. Went back to sleep after getting home. After getting back up and doing the usual morning stuff Trip and I settled back in the living room for more Mando and tea. Had to pick Kyle up at 2:00 since he had a doctor's appointment. This was a check up that had been scheduled months ago. Made scrambled eggs and baked potatoes for dinner. Slept in my recliner all night.

Thursday ~ Took Kyle to work. Went back to sleep in recliner after getting home. After doing the morning stuff Trip and I dragged ourselves to CVS and Food Lion to pick up some things. He said he felt better, but it wiped me out. Put stuff away then finished The Mandalorian Season 2 (will watch season 3 with Kyle) and started The Book of Boba Fett. Ordered Domino's. Game 2 -Hurricanes beat Knights 4-3 in OT. 🎉

Friday ~ Took Kyle to work. Went back to bed. Got up later. Did morning stuff then showered. Got Trip up to watch TBoBF. Had to pick Kyle up at 3:00 since Anna had an app't. Leftovers for everyone. I made myself 2 baked potatoes. Feeling a bit better. More coughing than blowing nose. And exertion produces all over sweat and tiredness. So trying to take things easy. Which isn't easy because there are things to do. lol Trip and I filled feeders and I did bird baths. Watered my flowers.

Saturday ~ Cleaning day. Took things slow. Did stuff then rested. Lather, rinse, repeat. Anna took April out for late birthday lunch. By the time she got back I was done with my stuff so we did laundry room and litter boxes. It was her turn. Fend for yourself for dinner. Hurricanes playing the Knights in Vegas. Posted this before the final.

Today The plan is to rest. I had a lot of things to do outside this past week and only got one marked off the list - mowing. Ugh.
