No slow down for me today! I had a long list and got a lot done on it. Not everything, but I wasn't expecting to. DD17 and I made church this morning. She suggested skipping because we were tired, but I reminded her that I had to teach Sunday school, so we went. We actually finished the "6 week study" that has lasted us 6 months! We start another next weekend, but I will be camping with DD and N. N's friend B cannot come, so I suggested her friend G, who I have also met. N said she would "ask around to see if anyone wanted to go". I had to specify that the invitation was for G and I don't need a 4th. People are not interchangeable when they are essentially staying overnight at my house (tiny house on wheels, that is). I cannot get hold of the place to make reservations. Left messages last week and today. If I don't hear from them by tomorrow, I will reserve elsewhere. Disappointing, because it is walking distance to the swimming hole we want to visit.
After church I got a whole bunch done while DD did homework:
- LOLs are complete and put away except for the one drying now
- Bills and budget
- Worked on dismantling the rabbit hutch to fit in trash - stopped this when the rain started
- Halloween party invitations to "the usual suspects", animal org contacts, and coworkers from a previous job
- Ordered checks
- Dyed costume skirt (I will be Velma Dinkly from Scooby Doo)
- Kitchen progress -]Table mostly clear and tablecloth washed, stinky trash can washed
- Made list for tomorrow
Tomorrow's essentials:
- Party invitations: work people, text contacts, church, neighbors
- Reserve campsite
- Dance class
- Church webwork
- More party cleanup
The xBFF will be out of the country with her boyfriend during the party, so I won't have to listen to suggestions on how to include the x and the other woman in my life.
Tomorrow is going to be a truly annoying commute and I am glad L is driving! Trump is visiting Home City. Whether you are a Democrat, Republican, liberal, conservative, in between, or undecided, we can all agree that presidential visits are a pain in the tailbone for local commuters.
ETA: Tried to find WHICH roads are closed. There are many references online saying "multiple road closures", but not a single instance of actually telling us which roads they are! A map would be really helpful. A list would also be appreciated. A statement that somewhere in the city at some indeterminate time tomorrow, there will be multiple closures is distinctly UNhelpful.
