 August 2-8, 2020 House Painting, Fried Green Tomatoes, Basement Walls, Hot Tub, Decking Repairs

Hello Friends!

It was a busy week-- I only had one migraine and two headaches, so that always means I get more accomplished.  Last week everyone in our family, EXCEPT US, went on vacation to North Carolina to stay in a house on Holden Beach.  This was kind of a hardship for us as the only family members that were really concerned about Dh's parents getting Covid 19.  They are in their 80's and it just didn't feel like the right decision to us, so we stayed home.  The last time they rented a beach house was something like 14 years ago, so it wasn't an easy decision!  It would have been a real treat, but we just stayed home and missed out on the fun for the sake of safety and caution.

Caffeine: I'm slowly weaning myself down from caffeine--a tiny bit less each day to avoid headache withdrawals.

Anniversary: This week marked the second year we've had our rescue dog, Henry!  I'd never even heard of an English Shepherd before him.  I sure do love our daily hikes in the woods!  He is such a great dog and adds so much joy to my life, especially now that Dd basically comes home to sleep, he has become my primary company...and such good company too!  

Fun Food:

This week we had our summer fun food---Fried Green Tomatoes!!!  Such a treat!!!  While we had the oil hot we went ahead and added another special treat of ours: Agadashi Tofu.

Hot Tub:

Dd and her boyfriend finished the electrical repairs on the hot tub.  They had their friends over a few times this week.  They seemed to really have a fun time.  

House: I have continued to paint and caulk the house. Dh has begun picking out the oldest pieces of decking and replaced those pieces with new boards.  I finished caulking the drywall on the basement walls and painted the walls. Lots of hard work going on.

Henry: Enjoying hiking with Henry each day, and fitting in pilates and yoga here and there.  


Dd didn't turn in any progress sheets this week, so she must still be on her summer break.
