What a difference 24 hours makes. Yesterday's cold, gray, wet and dreary morning has been replaced. It's still cold, 38 degrees is not a brilliant spring morning in my opinion. But it's gorgeous!! The sun is brightly shining through all of the new fresh growth on the trees. It will edge up on the thermometer in a few hours, 70 is right around the corner
Hubs started the day out questionable for the boys and I. When you haven't even had coffee, walked the boys or really even gotten out of bed and the bedroom door gets shut with both boys in the room... that is an ominous sign that baths are going to happen. Which means... mama is giving them their baths. I sure wasn't ready for that today. Neither were they.
We all survived, now we are waiting for them to dry off enough to go for a good morning walk, not a quick relief walk. Neeko is getting tired of waiting. And truthfully they both needed it. The pollen was kicking Neeko's butt and Gator has gotten rained on a few too many times lately. It really was time.
In fact it's been pet care weekend. The turtle's aquarium needed addressed yesterday. We've gotten that down to a fairly reasonable time commitment and neither of us has to carry water anymore. Although my fingers feel awfully wrinkly after that chore.
Never did get any landscaping done yesterday. Noticed on Friday I had cracked the glass over what appeared to just be my flashlight on my phone. It wasn't. It was the wide angle lens on the camera. Cheapskate me didn't feel it was anything to worry about, I mean, I don't need to take wide angle pictures. Hubs did not agree. So off to AT&T we went. Guess what, they don't repair broken lenses, but I do feel I was possibly manipulated, as Hubs has been really anxious to get DirectTV and get rid of Uverse. Not really sure why that matters, still.
As I was using the wasted visit to question some sneaky stuff they did to my phone bill, Hubs saw his moment. He even put out the cigar to come in and drive that conversation. So any hour or so later, after a delightful conversation with a young man that reminded me so much of my son, we are switching services. Again, I am still not sure why. As I really don't watch it, I guess I really don't care overly much. Particularly since it is saving me almost $70 per month. And... as he wants it, he has to deal with switching it, not me.
After hours searching for new workout shoes I was pretty excited to get two pair that I adore! Well... I did adore. Until I went to put the ones I liked the most on this morning and realized that in the stores dim lighting I couldn't tell that they are not the same shoes. I have two opposing colors, and as I didn't see another pair in my size I am guessing that someone else has the same issue. They open at 9:30 this morning. Guess I will find out then. Have to admit I am a bit sad over this turn of events. I absolutely love this particular style of Asics and I bought the only two pair I found in my size. Guess I am not the only one that loves them, wish me luck that there is another mismatched set of shoes hidden on the shelf... who knows they might actually sell an additional pair!
Maybe, just maybe after getting that all taken care of I will tackle a bit of the landscaping before we take off on the Harley for a bit. It's going in the shop today. Hubs is like a little kid before Christmas. Again, I am simply not understanding! I get the need for the 5,000 mile tune up. I am even excited about the install of the luggage rack (daughter bought him luggage for Christmas). I absolutely cannot wrap my head around the need to replace perfectly good, barely used (I mean it's only got 5,000 miles on it) mufflers. He keeps going on and on about it not sounding like a Harley. It's a Harley!! Is he trying to tell me it sounds like a Honda? Of course it sounds like a Harley.... ya know what, if it makes him happy and keeps him smiling, then... new muffler it is. Just kind of wished he'd voiced this concern when we bought it brand new a year ago today.I am feeling accomplished this morning. Yesterday I scheduled (on my calendar even) 3 training sessions for the coming week. Yes, I may very well regret it by Saturday or Sunday. But I am recommitting! I really do have a goal in sight. Nope, not sharing that one yet!
I am even getting ready to roast a turkey and make some fresh pasta for dinner and meal prepping for the week. I might scare myself if I manage to get organized. It could be frightening!
Well... it's time to finish off this coffee, take my boys out for their morning constitutional, and get busy tackling this day! There is much to be accomplished and enjoyed before this day ends!
