First off, Happy Independence Day! A day late, I know, but it's still a valid sentiment.
The past week was one of my toady weeks. I didn't write. I didn't market. I didn't read.
I baked. Earlier in the week, I made banana muffins. Yesterday afternoon, I made a batch of Outrageous Chocolate Chip Cookies. Yeah, it was 90 degrees out, but Hubs wanted cookies... frankly, so did I... so I made cookies. They were yummy. And I have AC so what's the problem? I also did a batch of BBQ pulled pork yesterday. Also yummy.
It was an active week, despite my toadiness. I did yardwork. I watered everything in the greenhouse a couple times. We moved furniture in preparation for window installation, and then moved it back. We tag-team mowed the yard. Busy busy. Not weight loss, however, which is kind of a bummer. I'm blaming the heat and calling it water-weight gain. So there. Weight: 180.6
The windows were installed. They did the big picture window in the front on Tuesday afternoon. It was a bitch to get out, due to an abundance of silicon caulk. (The previous owner/builder was big on silicon caulk. He slapped that shit everywhere.) Thus, by the time they got around to the broken window in the sunroom, it was already 5. They took the storm window with them to fix at the office and off they went with promises to return the next day. I took them at their word, and sure enough, they were there bright and semi-early on Wednesday. While they were installing the window, I made muffins so I could give them some when they left. They were very happy. And I'm very happy because we now have no broken windows... well, except for that one in our bedroom, which I totally forgot about until after they were gone. Oh well. Next time.
The yard work was more of me de-weeding the front path. It's about 75% done now, but now, it's too damn hot to want to finish it. It'll get done. Eventually.
Out in the greenhouse, things are going okay. Despite the heat, the beefsteak is flowering. Fingers crossed. The other plants seem to be doing well. The buckthorn is getting TALL. I had to move it to the floor so it isn't hampered by the enclosure. One of the peppers is also getting tall and was moved to the floor. Fingers crossed I see some produce down the road.
I think that's about it. It's hot. I'm a toad. Nothing new there. Have a great day and an awesome week. Peace out.
Sounds like a busy week despite the toady-ness. My week was even toadier. I wrote 400 words. I did make it to Wallyworld.
ReplyDeleteI love the 4th of July. I hate the idiot neighbors who ignore the law (no fireworks in city limits--either my suburb or the big city a block away) and shot them off at all hours of the day and night. Lieterally. They started at 12:01 July 4th. LG was outside yelling a t them at 2:45 a.m this morning. Poor Jake kept climing in the freaking bathtub to hide from the noise--not that it helped. I let LG sleep in both Saturday and this morning. Even though, we're both wiped.
We had Braum's last night for dinner because we wanted ice cream. 🤣
I have been listening to a lot of books. That's the only redeeming factor. 🙄
Okay. I'm actually going to try for some words today. We'll see how that goes. First, more coffee.
