Bama, it does sound nice to have DD1 nearby but not in the house with you. I don't have any insurance advice either. I've always been covered by dh's employee insurance.
I hope you get your outdoor time today, Kitty! It sounds like you have a quiet evening to look forward to.
Thinking of you as you start your trip today, L Ann. It sounds fabulous!! I can't wait to hear of your adventures - if you care to share them with us.
Last night, we had a family meeting, including M and R (S and J12yo are out of town) to review plans for the next few days and figure out what still needs to be done. We got home from that at 9:50 pm - so even though I didn't join dh at the cook out, I still had an event last night. Dh had 2.
We got a lot of rain overnight. Still, temps are in the 70s and will hit 80 by 10:30 a.m. I need to jog before then. I was going to do the hill, but the paths in the arb will be muddy and full of puddles. The high today is forecast to be 91*F (32.8C).
Today, I hope to jog. I'll stick to paved paths to avoid puddles and mud - maybe 2.5 miles. I have a haircut appointment at 11:30 (my friend cancelled my appointment tomorrow - which actually saves me an hour or more since going to her takes 2:15+). Then, I have a zoom meeting with the new trustee at 2:30. I hope to get groceries - at 3 different stores. Thinking. . . I'll do TJ tomorrow bc I need to go early and I'm jogging first thing this morning. And I need to start making guest beds and spiffing guest rooms. Well, the play room needs more than a spiff. Then, I'm meeting JT downtown for dinner at 7 pm.
My car needs a wash but I'm waiting until the rain moves out of the area. I may do this tomorrow.
