Oh Matt, please please please share the wrapping when it’s ready
We had to be creative in wrapping the mutual present for my younger sister’s wedding last year and it was georgeous and fun!
A bad picture of it but I don’t have a better one
My day will be slow, still need rest.
The to do of the day is done, my Landrover got a new plate and i discussed some changes with my insurance agent. I’m grateful the changes will reduce insurance costs. Little changes add up over time
It’s overcast today, warm and i ponder about doing something outdoor. More than enough work waiting I still count it as a blessing that i can live at my pace and no ex stressing me. Shedding deeply engraved layers of years of getting nagged and criticised is definitely on the schedule today
The make-up test how long it stays on in the heat failed awfully i look like a speckled clown after 2 hours. No make up tomorrow, just lipstick and a comfortable nice hairdo. Exited to attend a classic concert with a friend tomorrow This i love about summer.
sun is out again, so me & dog will change from balcony to living room with A/C
a late breakfast for me, a short whizzy & poopy walk for him afterwards, then relaxing.
@Planipennia Would love to see the wrapping. So sweet of you to add at extra bit of care and creativity to the gift. Enjoy the fair
@erntedank Enjoy that concert! I hate that caked on feeling of makeup in the heat. Grateful for Covid as it helped me shed the need for make up. A comfortable hairdo and some lipstick is a great plan - you will be beautiful and comfortable That is a beautiful looking present.
It is a foggy/ smokey morning here. The Air Quality Index shows it at 445. Grateful I have my mask and will only be going to gym and work. I want to skip swimming but my lungs are feeling heavy and I think the exercise will be beneficial.
These fires are so intense that we are experiencing effects so far away and I know the reach is even further. I can’t even imagine what / how those in the heart of it ae dealing with. Scary times. Be safe and well my friends.
Happy Friday folks. I’m up early supporting my husband at a dentist appointment. I drank a decaf coffee on purpose and finished a book already today. Next up is a Labubu exchange with my father in law. He gets the Labubu for my sweet mother in law and I get my childhood videos digitized. Fair trade. That is all my errands for the day so I’ll be able to nap soon enough.
This is a working weekend and I put a social plan on the books before work tomorrow. It’s a walk to catch up with a friend who I haven’t seen for a long time who seems to be struggling. I’ll show up for her and for me.
Do it sober.
@Planipennia
Hey friends…hope you are well. I’m used to Matti starting us off and @erntedank following…where are you
Happy Friday
Nothing really on the books today. Body is feeling heavy and very unmotivated. Gotta kick my own butt into gear.
Going to see my parents for a bit then pool time. Work should be easy enough…have a few cleaning projects to do there to keep me moving.
now it’s 3 p.m. here and i call it a day
been doing cleaning & tidying, watered all plants, fertilized the dahlias, dog was outside for hours as temps were nice, the fenced field got its first mow of the year as far as i can mow with the tractor. pears taste wonderful but need some time, not fully ripe yet.
i fucked up and had to crawl under the mower unit to remove the weed control fabric yep, more distance to the covered field lanes next time
now we chill on the balcony, i will take a shower soon and do some office work that i want out of my head on the weekend. an example of zero motivation but i’ll do it anyway, no procrastination on fridays
The afternoon was office work, setting boundaries and thinking about what flower bulbs to plant in october while scrolling through my favourite flower bulb website
my brain screams overload from too many different things today
This weekend, I’ll be playing another round of squash and doing another session on the Peloton. To relax afterward, we’ll be visiting a good old friend for lunch and coffee.
@Planipennia love the wrapping.. hope your godfather had a lovely celebration.
Happy Friday sober crew…slow start to the day. My eyes are beginning to look like racoons…I really need to get sleep soon. I’m afraid my slap happy phase is about to end hopefully there will be a nap today. Nothing else really planned.
Happy friday folks!
evening here, hot, windy, definitely no outdoor weather for me or the dog. might get a thunderstorm.
inside it’s nice & lovely. cooked noodlesoup (thanks A/C !) and enjoyed it very much.
did some chores but not my normal full friday cleaning package because … cats!
kitten settling in well, they are allowed to explore the house twice a day, a had a wonderful nap while they were on tour in the afternoon, laughed my ass off when they met the big dog and enjoy the full house. routines are off track atm, i take it ODAAT.
will finish some office work tomorrow as my friend J called and needed a talk.
weekend plans? kitten settling in proceeds. that’s all
Happy friday crew! I got the afternoon off and got some awesome news about my moms heart and hubbys auditions. Thank goodness for some good news. I did have a fleeting thought about celebrating with a drink…i mean thats what i used to do. But i dont have to anymore because im a nondrinker. Once a pickle always a pickle
You are a cute healthy pickle - so happy to hear about the good news. Celebrate for sure - in a sober way where you can remember what you were celebrating LOL
Friyay!! I’m counting down the last 5 hours of work before my weekend. The trunk of my car is packed with all my sewing supplies so I can have a slumber party at my friend’s and we can sew all night. Or until we fall asleep. That, and sobriety are my only plans for this weekend.
yep, more distance to the covered field lanes next time 
So obviously you did not relax - no wonder your brain is screaming… sending you calming vibes and hope you can now relax for the rest of the weekend
