Kitty, glad the roses are responding well to the new regimen! Yes, it sounds like Freddie has big feelings! Interesting theme - architects.
Welcome home, Bama! Fresh food from the Farmer's Market is the best! Or can be the best. I got a pint of strawberries there a couple weeks ago. They were not the best. LOL!
Glad you enjoyed the party, kitkat! I feel like the older I get, the less in life I take for granted
I appreciate more in life each day. I hope it's nothing serious with dpup.
Thinking of Peaches. . . I feel a little worried because I think she had some illness but she never wrote about it explicitly. But I'm not sure she ever made the transition here.
I'm not sure I got back here yesterday.
I was really wiped out all day. I got a few small things done: attended a payroll meeting online, did a lot of communication for payroll, rearranged my weekly work out with a trainer, arranged for a walking date with friend MM, made a quick WF run, cooked a homemade meal of pasta with tomato and mushroom sauce and roasted zucchini.
Today: I think I slept 9-10 hours last night; I was in bed for 10 hours but I also was awake in the night for what felt like an hour. I feel better-rested this morning. After 7 days of houseguests, M is now hosting 3 friends here for 2 nights. She is using the extra bedroom + play room downstairs, which we just used for niece L and ds+fam. She washed the sheets and remade the beds - she's doing everything for them. I don't plan to engage with them much/ at all. They're heading to Toronto together tomorrow and will be back for 2 more nights next weekend. SO, though I'm not officially hosting, there are still houseguests in my house. How does that happen? LOL!
I have a phone call with MT, the new trustee, at 10:30. Then, I'll have my weekly campus academics check in meeting for payroll with AC at 11:15. I'm going to jog the hill this afternoon - it will be warm but still within range for me. I need to pick up more groceries for dinner tonight: fajitas and green salad. We need to use up some tortillas. Tonight, we'll have a zoom call with ds+F+baby I (who has just started crawling - F says she is very fast!).
