WTG on the basement progress, kitkat!
The color coding for dogs is a great idea, Kitty! Nice that you can skip the church activity this afternoon and get some rest. I have been up in the arch several times. I probably knew Saarinen's name as the architect - and then forgot it.
FFB, that sounds nice to be included in neighborhood dinner parties/ bbqs. I hope you'll enjoy your new grill! You and Mr.NG seem to cook a lot.
Harriet! It's always so nice to see you here!! I hope you can finish those supplements soon. I eat 1 banana a day -- because I like them.
If they also have vitamins, that's even better. I do try to avoid eating Reese's candy daily -- but I sure could if they were available. 
*Skippable* I am up but feeling grumpy but also feeling like that's not a valid feeling for me to have right now.
I think I'm just hitting the limit of activity/ socializing -- but there's more to come. Positives: Our trip up north was lovely! N. Michigan wilderness is vast and peace-inducing. Dh and dd28 are among my favorite people on the planet, so there was that too. 
But - it has been a lot, and we came home to M and her houseguest friend in the kitchen. M did share her meal with us, meaning we had a social meal (M, her friend, dh, myself), meaning there was basically a one-way flow of social and emotional energy as we reached out to them and asked questions, trying to get to know M's friend whom we've never had a conversation with before. . . They did ask dh questions bc he's a professor, which is interesting to most younger people. But, being the more invisible middle-aged woman, I didn't excite their interest too much. . . Anyhow, that's my grumpy take on it. LOL! Also, my birthday yesterday was not noticed beyond birthday greeting text messages from many, including dh's family. And dh's sister M called me! No cards, treats, gifts. . . It will be celebrated properly at another time. Today, we'll go to church. There's coffee after church, but I'm going to see if dh is willing to skip it. Then, we have CG2 3:30 - 6ish. We're not hosting this time, thank goodness. We hosted the last 2 times. Then, we're hosting Sunday dinner at 6 - ?. I think M may cook for us all? I'm not sure. . . That's very kind of her. She's on a cooking kick. A family zoom call is scheduled for tonight at 8:15 -- we'll see if it happens since we just saw ds + fam a couple weeks ago.
Tomorrow and Tuesday will be busy as well - no break in sight. Monday, payroll start up again in full force with S6 prep. Tuesday, will be more prep, leading Prof Dev meetings 1-3 pm with AC, and getting my own class set up. Plus, tomorrow, I'm meeting AC for a bd breakfast at 8 a.m. and then friend B is taking me out for my bd lunch with her. I still need to pick the restaurant and time.
My weight is up 2 lbs since we left on the camping trip.
The restaurant meals tomorrow will not help. I'll plan on a low-cal dinner tomorrow night. I'm also facing the conundrum of how to get in enough exercise with the warm temperatures this week. It will be 83* by 7 a.m. - 90* by 9 a.m. most days. 80F is kind of my upper cut off limit. I can try jogging warm - and short.
Back to today!
M's houseguest left this morning. This is the first day in our home without a houseguest since June 10. M has more houseguests arriving this weekend. . . They are HER houseguests and affect us minimally - but they do affect us some as they're in the same house as us and we try to be polite decent people to everyone.
