    Work, rest and play…

    Our weekend was much as any other, with a few unexpected hitches in our get along.  D had to work Saturday morning so I took advantage of a quiet house, cranked the stereo and did a speed clean of the main living areas.  It isn’t perfect, but I wouldn’t be embarrassed if you stopped by for a drink. If you do expect all the bedroom doors to be closed, and if you want to use the bathroom you’ll be directed outside.

    Libby’s vet appointment was at 11:30 and I managed to be a little early.  As I pulled into the parking lot my nose alerted me that something was amiss in the cat carrier.  When I opened the crate and pulled her out the whole office knew something was amiss.  It was so foul the assistants were coming into the exam room to see what sort of animal created a stink so noxious. I was embarrassed and proud of her at the same time.  Not only that, but her nervous explosion seemed to solve her problem for her and he thinks she’ll be feeling better in a day or two.  I’ll keep watching her with the ‘worried mama eye’.

    D and I arrived home around the same time and while he worked on the drywall in the bathroom I mowed the yard, gave the dog a bath and did some laundry.  Then I went to BJ’s and did a little super-sized shopping before returning home with a late lunch.  D finished the drywall, with exception of a few spots to touch up later and emerged looking like a plaster monster.

    He’s not really angry in that photo, its just difficult to get him to smile for the camera.  Oh, and the two dots on his head in the second photo?  He tried to vacuum some of the dust from his pate.  Um, didn’t work but it did crack me up. 

    After all that hard work we felt pretty justified in sitting down to waste time on the computers for a while, but when we did we discovered the cable was down.  Oh. The. Horror!  So D fired up the DVDR and I fired up the Husqvarna and we relaxed the afternoon away.  By evening the cable had returned and we joined Greenie and her friend for some lengthy game play.

    Sunday D did touch ups and I sewed for a bit before taking a card to my dad and hitting Home Depot for further bathroom supplies.  When I returned we hopped back onto the game and finished the mission we had started the day before (thanks Greenie and T).  In fact our only other accomplishment for the day was to decide that the tile we chose for the walls in the shower looks like crap with the floor.  I hope to rectify that tonight by picking up some samples from the tile store.  Its really frustrating, but at least it is easily changed with yet another trip to the tile store. 

    The weekend was crammed full of work, rest and play ... a fine weekend indeed.
