Recovery day.
Luke slept very late this morning, which was welcome. After breakfast we did a couple of projects and a bit of cleaning. I made dinner in the slow cooker and Liz took Luke out this afternoon while I tried to nap. Bed time was a little rough but we got an early start so he wasn’t too late falling asleep.
Eventually productive.
There was a light dusting of snow on the ground this morning. And it was cold. I went to Piggly Wiggly for some cereal then just relaxed around the cottage until nearly eleven. I really didn’t want to go to the job site, but I did. I put down plywood underlayment for about five hours. I nearly finished and have just a little remaining for Monday. After returning to the cottage to pack up I drove home. It was good to see Liz and Luke.
Stormy and lazy.
This morning I took Luke to school then went to therapy. My drive up to the Mountain was nice except for the very strong winds. With the torrential rains in the forecast I decided to forego the job site. Instead I went by the Goat Market and Piggly Wiggly before going to see Debbie for a bit. The thunderstorms did arrive and I spent the evening hunkered down in the cottage.
Finally productive again.
I spent the morning helping out a friend with something, then this afternoon I worked on putting down underlayment for the kitchen and foyer tiles. That went surprisingly well. Later a guy came by to give a quote on a septic system, trenching, and final grade. I think I will use him. After loading up I took my trailer back to the cottage, stopped at the Goat Market for a drink, then drove home via Bell Buckle. Luke was finishing dinner, so we read a little afterwards, then he did his bed time routine.
Back at it, sort of.
After therapy this morning I drove to the Mountain. After getting some supplies at Piggly Wiggly I prepared a meal in the slow cooker, then I went and organized my storage unit a bit. I didn’t do much else, as the cold weather was really hurting my fingers.
1500.
That’s a lot of posts. Last night was pretty rough as Luke started to get sick a couple of hours after going to bed. We were up a lot and Liz ended up staying with him in his room. He was in much better shape this morning though, despite a low grade fever. We took it pretty easy this morning, just doing his puzzles and looking at magazines. After lunch we attempted to have him take a car nap, but that didn’t work so we just drove around then stopped to watch some construction equipment working. This afternoon we played some more, had an early dinner, and now Liz is putting him to bed.
All kinds of fun activities.
This morning Liz and Luke made breakfast cookies and then we played around a bit. Mid-morning we went to the farmers market, then to the library for a magic show. Liz’s friend Molly was there with her husband and daughter. We finished up with grilled cheese sandwiches from a nice spot downtown. After going home for a little bit we hit the road again to watch some construction equipment working at the new battery plant in Spring Hill and went by Kroger to get some Valentine cards for Luke to take to school. He was super tired tonight so bed time went very quickly.
Enjoying another sunny day.
This morning I took Liz’s car in for an oil change and then shopped at the fancy Kroger on the other side of town. Unfortunately they did not have a lot of the items that I needed either. Back home I worked on my receipts a bit while Luke and Madeline went to the park. When they returned we had a video call with my parents and aunts, who were all in Brewton. Luke really enjoyed that and talked about it for the rest of the day. After lunch I finally got fully caught up on all of my receipts and accounting, which felt great. Luke and Madeline went to another park and upon returning Luke and I played until dinner time. He seems to be dragging out the bed time routine tonight.
Therapy, errands, resting.
This morning I had physical therapy, which was a little painful. After that I drove up to Spring Hill to visit the library, Food Lion, and Kroger. Back home I did some work on the computer and took a fitful nap. I also prepared dinner in the slow cooker. When Luke and Liz came home we played until time to eat. Luke told us about his day during dinner, and afterwards we played and cleaned up. Liz is doing the bed time routine with him now.
