must be the week, right? Well, I HAVE been busy this morning! Hubby has gone to his bible study and you know - this is the only time I can get things done without his interference. I have the 2nd load of laundry in the dryer, I have changed the filter in the refrigerator, I have folded the clothes he had left in the dryer 3 days ago, I've done a couple Amazon reviews. I've chatted with my boss, cleared emails, and have notes of what I want to get done today. I've taken the boxes I've addressed in to the other room to be stuffed... broke up some boxes in the garage... and well, I think I have already accomplished a lot this morning! And it's only 8:30am. So that's my excuse for not writing in here until now. And, oh yeah, I've also gone out and watered my plants in the courtyard.
I'm wishing I didn't have to do the addressing (only got 69 done yesterday - 154 left to go! I hope to get a few done and take down to the post office today and see what it costs to mail each one - then buy stamps to put on them so I can finish up over the weekend and just drop in a mailbox. I'm sure the post office doesn't want to weigh each one, knowing they are the same, and put a tab on each one.
For some reason I'm feeling real energetic this morning. It's like a 'sense of freedom' to do things while hubby is gone, know what I mean? Sigh. I mentioned to hubby I wanted to get things done this weekend, go through closet, etc. so of course he is going to do it as well. And that's ok - but why can't he think to do it on his own? Everything I do, he has to do, and it absolutely drives me insane.
Anyway - I have a long weekend ahead of me and although I want to be busy all weekend and get a lot of things done, I'm looking forward to having Monday off (Memorial day) and continue doing whatever it is I'm doing - and then I also took Tuesday off. Debated on that. Picking up the oldest son at the dealership after his car dropoff early morning, then he will come here for a class he needs to take. He can sit in my office since I'm not working and we can shut the door so that he can talk privately. After that, he and I are going to lunch! Whoo Hoo! Lunch with my boy!
Praise happening this weekend too! Youngest went up to pick up his granddaughter yesterday - and got the text that papers have been signed and he has kinship of her for the time being. He doesn't have to drive back and forth every weekend. Hope to get over there sometime this weekend - he also has a grandson that lives up north and that way we can see him as well. Will see if I can do that - but hope to.
Want to do a run to Lowes this weekend - might check out Home Depot too. Our washer is full of mold, I think for every time we use it - the entire house stinks. I've looked for it, but cannot find it. For over a year I have thought it smelled like a gas leak - yes, that is what it smells like - all through the house - but our house is all electric. When we had the washer repaired a few months back, he told us the smell is mold - but heaven forbid that he would take it apart and clean it! And I have no idea where to look for it. I know under a rubber something or other - but we bought these used, and we've had them for six years - so maybe it's time I get a new set.... I hate to spend the money - but it will be the last ones I plan to buy! And I would like to get smaller ones, for our laundry room is narrow and it's a tight squeeze through there at times. This is when I need my son-in-law! He has a truck and could haul out and pick up - but will have to pay the delivery fee if we make it over there - and I hope they take them away as well. I may just wait until the end of June - they will be back here - and maybe the July 4th sales will be happening. At least I think they are driving out.... don't know for sure. Will see how that works out.
I have so many things I want to get done this weekend that I don't know how much I will get done. Still have all those envelopes to address, but hope to get on it this morning and get a bunch done as well. While I feel like I'm energized, would like to keep on getting things done - at least until hubby gets back home at 11-ish. He is visiting our friend after his bible study today. So I have about 2 or 2-1/2 hours before he gets back. How much can I get done? Can I keep moving? LOL I need to slow down this morning; I AM working today, after all. But Sue did tell me that I could take off early this afternoon - so I'm figuring about 2PM - then just check for emails around 4PM before I shut it down. Most executives are off today so it will be very quiet.
So - I'm going to close this off before my mind takes off again on things to say. Time to check on the laundry and see if the dryer has shut off yet. Reminds me too, I need to ask hubby if he checked on the stove and oven repair. It's been almost two months now. I notice that the built in ovens are now 30" - and mine is 23". Yeah, they don't want to rebuild the area for a new oven. Normally they would just replace it. I'm ok with going to a stove and remodel the empty area where the oven is now... but again, that is more than they want to spend. But this is getting old real quick. I want to bake and I can't!
Have a great day - and I hope you can also be productive today! A long weekend ahead - yay!! I have breakfast with my boss on Wednesday morning - so it will late when I start back on Wednesday - a really long weekend!!
Blessings!
