Hello and Happy Sunday!

Happy Summer Solstice!!!

On the Home Front

Sunday ~ Up a little late. Did morning stuff then surfed the web before we headed out to see The Mandalorian and Grogu at noon. We had popcorn then custard from Freddy's before heading home. Spaghetti for dinner. I don't really remember what else I did until it was time to watch the Game 6 of the Stanley Cup. WE WON!!! 🎉🎉Last time was 2006, so quite the celebration. Went to bed late.

Monday ~ Trip's 27th Birthday. Anna and Kyle on OT all week. Picked up Trip's cake. Met the wasband at BJ's so he could give Trip his bday card. Made sausage gravy biscuits for lunch. Wrapped his presents. Read for awhile. Made pork chops, pierogies, and broccoli for dinner. I don't really remember what else I did.

Tuesday ~ Worked on the computer all day. Picked up Kyle at work since Anna had an appointment. I may have napped in my chair. I don't remember. Leftovers for dinner.

Wednesday ~ After doing the usual morning stuff I woke Trip. We went to Michael's so I could drop off mom's tapestry to be framed. We had lunch at Waffle House then picked up some groceries at Food Lion. Made some kind of Rana chicken alfredo fettuccini I picked up at Food Lion. It was ok. Chris spent the night.

Thursday ~ Morning chores then took Artemis to the vet for her lepto shot. Trip was up so we fed the critters and I did the bird baths and watered my flowers. I finally put out the Bird Buddy. I vacuumed, swept, mopped, and put down clean rugs. Left at 1:30 to pick up Kyle for his gastro app't. It started to rain as we got there and was pouring when we left. Got absolutely soaked running to the car. Hit up DQ for cones and the drive thru line was long. Probably because no one wanted to get out of their car. Saw on the map an accident on the highway so took the back road home. I made Trip an omelet for dinner, I had leftover spaghetti, and Anna picked up Bojangles for her and Kyle after her app't since she owed Kyle a meal.

Friday ~ After morning stuff, Trip and I took Anna the meds she forgot then took her car for an oil change and 2 new tires. Had breakfast at Pano's. Played a lot of Pokemon while waiting. Waded through emails. Finished BBNYA Round 1 excerpts. Turkey lasagna for dinner. Anna spent the night at Chris's.

Saturday ~ Took Kyle to work (left at 4:20) since he's on OT and Anna is not. Went back to bed. Got up around 8:30, did the usual morning stuff, puttered around a bit then left a bit early to get Kyle since his car needs gas. Stopped at BJ's, but the pumps were not nearly as busy I would have thought for a Saturday. So I ended up getting to ABB about 10:45. Kyle out at 11:00 and we stopped at DQ for shakes then went home. Woke Trip up to wrap Lori's and Noah's birthday presents before their joint party. Anna came home (with Chris) just as we started and wrapped her stuff. Kyle went to take a nap. Anna, Chris, and Trip left for the 1:30 start of the party and I started my cleaning. Once Kyle got up he took the dogs out and we did the laundry room including litterboxes since it was his turn. Did the dishes, wiped out the dishwasher, scrubbed the kitchen sink, washed two loads of towels and a load of pet pads/blankets, and played Pokemon since it was Community Day. Did my bathroom. Fed the furries. Fed the critters and did bird baths. Changed my bedstuff and washed. Took a shower. Had soup and crackers for dinner. Chris and Anna left for dinner at Outback around 9pm and the boys hadn't eaten yet so I offered to pick up Zaxby's for them. I also got some egg rolls and fries. Finished up this post then went to bed after 11pm. Tired!

Today I plan to read and relax. I do not want to do anything else.

New Year's Resolutions/Goals
I thought I'd keep a weekly record of these so I can see if anything is getting done. 😆
More reading, less tv ~ Some.
Go back to the beginning and revamp old blog posts ~ Nothing this week.
Exercise ~ Nope. Pretty much been a slug.
Tidy up outside ~ Nope.

Touching Nature: We finally got rain!! 2.5" in about 18 hours. We need a whole lot more. The temps did not lower much. Ugh.

Book News: Did get some reading in. And I finished my BBNYA Round 1 excerpts. I had 23 this time.

Don't Touch That Dial!: A bit of the World Cup and Murdoch Mysteries.

At the Flicks: The Mandalorian and Grogu. I was entertained.

Cyberspace Playground: Wordle, Word Lots, Crossword Jam, Solitaire, the Finch app - if anyone wants to be friends just let me know.

Randomness: Hahahahaha!

Carol's Nuggets of Wisdom: If you have an Instagram account, the best content by far is all about visitors from other countries experiencing the US (food ones are hilarious) during the World Cup. Go watch some videos. Especially anything pertaining to the Tartan Army. I swear, they'll make you feel better.

That's it for me. AVR News Update signing off. May all your books enthrall you.
