I guess it is a fabulous day here. Despite the freezing rain.
I got up only a bit late but was dressed and fed by 9. The washer repair person came shortly after. No real idea what is wrong but there's a lint trap that wasn't fully screwed in so that might be it. Now that I'm home for the day, I'll run the load of laundry to see if that's it. I'll put newsprint underneath the washer and check to see if it is wet. We only saw the water after 3 loads of laundry so maybe it has been leaking in small amounts that didn't make an appearance from under the washer.
I left at 9:50 and met up with dd. She had just arrived by bus. We settled into the library in the children's area and then she went to her appointment, about a 15 minute walk away.
Dgs and I read books, then went up and had a snack in the cafeteria of the building (the library is in a municipal complex.) Then we walked around a bit and ended up back in the children's area while his mom gingerly made her way back to us. It had got slippery with the freezing rain.
I suggested lunch out but that was nixed by dd saying it was time to get on the bus for his nap. He was showing tiredness signs so I agreed. She took him to the bathroom and asked him there what he wanted to do. He wanted to go to lunch so we gingerly walked to a pub nearby.
Ds had texted me because he noted the SAD light was on sale. I knew and had my receipt handy in order to drop in to get a price match but he ended up picking up the sale one which I'll return later. That saved me from having to get to Costco by Sunday. He was at a nearby Costco so he dropped off the light with me and visited with dgs while we ate.
Dgs was so tired he asked for nap but by then the food had arrived. He was at the pouting stage and we were preparing for a meltdown (which we had triggered; it would not have been dgs being unreasonable.) Then Uncle G arrived. Ds brightened up and was an angel again for the rest of the lunch.
I got home just before 3. Dh was preparing to grab a bus to his doctor's appointment. Thankfully the bus that is right outside our building goes past the cardiologist as well. My showing up meant he could take an extra 30 minutes before leaving.
Since that takes him right by two of my errands, he's running those errands for me on his way home. I left this morning with 3 errands to do after babysitting, and got away without any! Plus I had lunch out with my kids!
I didn't walk too far today (going slow with dgs doesn't count on my pedometer) so I did a mile on the treadmill. Yesterday I only managed 1/2 a mile before being exhausted but today the mile went by easily enough.
I may make my step goal for today after all. I need around 6500 a day for the next 3 days to make the weekly average number I'd like. I'll be close to the 6500 today. Tomorrow I have the pub, so that plus a mile on the treadmill will be enough. Maybe by Sunday I'll be up to 2 miles on the treadmill. Or one mile twice in the day.
