[trissie]

trissie, I love the name DS-still-13. Has he reached the "I'm not a child!" stage yet?

it's more like he'll be 14 in less than a week, so I better start getting used to it!

[Doggedly]

LOL, if I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around how he's growing up, I can imagine what it's like for you, trissie!

I have washed some dishes.
After I have spiffed myself, I will take Germane out for some sort of outing and then maybe do the groceries?

Enjoy your walk with Germane, Dogged!

Trissie, I can't believe DS is nearly 14 already!

I ended up spending an hour tidying the back steps and sweeping, decluttering spare pots from the garage, and stacked my pots of dormant daffodils more neatly, so the garage gives a better first impression. Then I had fun in the garden for an hour, so I think I've done all I reasonably can, and even if they dont turn up, my effort won't be wasted. DH is planning to spend some time sorting through his stuff in the garage tomorrow, so it's given him more room to move there.

Back from an afternoon jog. It was hot even though it was also a bit cloudy. I went 2.5 miles so didn't do the 3.4 miles I was planning on for this weekend. Still, I got out side and moved! The park was very busy.

trissie, I also can't believe ds is almost 14! I can't remember how old he was when I joined this thread; DBD wasn't even around yet.
Glad you had fun in your garden, Kitty! I might try to get ahead for the week too.
I hope your watermelon snack wasn't 1/4 of the watermelon like mine was last night, L Ann. Nice you got to walk with a friend.
WTG facing your finances, Doggedly. You too, L Ann!
