It’s not exactly the unexpected working day, but more work than expected  I am trying to get my dad’s laundry done, mine done, a meal plan for this week, and a plan for people coming to check on the folks.  Luckily I am not packing until Tuesday since I am leaving that night to go to Fairburn, Georgia.

Yesterday my bother and dad got the exit opener installed for our gate at the house.  We have a sliding gate and it has been such a pain since we put it in.  Not all of it is the opener’s fault.  It sat for a long time before we installed it and then it got struck by lightning.  I know – HUGE LIFE PROBLEMS ha ha ha.

I still have a couple small, maybe not small – minor, changes to be made to my room / bathroom before I am done.  I want to tighten my pictures that are hanging over my bed, less space on the vertical lines.  Then I got, what I think will work, as a towel holder.  Would like to put that up today, I don’t see why I wouldn’t be able to so I will add a pic.

The dogs were let in this morning wet and full of sand so my bed is just FULL of sand.  I have slept in it twice and will have to deal with that today too.  Oh yeah, that’s another thing on the list, sweep the house and mop the common area.

The movie theatre by the house has opened and Carlos was planning on coming out tomorrow and maybe going out there.  I am not sure what we are having for food, something on the grill probably – shrimp and hot dogs – ha ha ha, what a combo.

We are gonna have beanie weenies for dinner so now I have to go to the grocery store to get them.  I hope they aren’t sold out for the holiday – that’s not possible, right?!  I have seen where they were out of buns, but not hot dogs  I will keep everyone posted on the developments of this very important story!  Oh man, I just realized baked beans are big cookoout items too – OH NO!

Important Update: We decided to have sandwiches instead of beanie weenies. That is all.

I just got done with all of my dad’s laundry and now I am working on mine. I also just played with the puppies – they were exhausted because it is so hot outside. Goodness, they wouldn’t stop if I didn’t make them.

I think I am getting a little bit sick. I feel like my throat is going to be very sore tomorrow. I hope it goes quickly. I woke up last night about 3am and had to take some Aleve I had such a bad headache. I think it was from having a stuffed up nose and also coughing a little bit. In fact I just took some as a preemptive strike

By the way, basically finished the puzzle today – I need two words that I just cannot figure out.  Have to ask dad for help tomorrow.  He gave me some hints, but I did pretty good

Alright, I am going to clean the body, finish up my clothes, and go to bed – I don’t feel great  Oh well!
