I need to sing the blues a little bit today. C & I were on vacation last week and today is our first day back at work. Don’t get me wrong, I really like my job and I know I am blessed to have it. We just got REALLY spoiled to not having an alarm go off in the morning and I got REALLY spoiled with not having to get ready every morning. C might prefer that I am going back so I will fix my hair and put a little makeup on. I can tell that did not happen much this last week and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
We did get a few chores accomplished while we were off. Personally, I did a little freezer cooking, a lot of ironing, cleaned up the garden beds and emptied my flower pots. C washed a lot of our vinyl siding, mowed our yard and his parent’s yard and weedeated everything! We still have a few more little jobs to finish up but we made quite a bit of progress in just a few days. Oh, we did manage to sneak in a little extra rest as well. I DID say we were getting spoiled to being home. We would make great hermits if there are any job openings for those!!
At first I said that I wasn’t going to cook at all while I was off, but that didn’t last long. It was actually a pleasure since I could do it when I wanted and had time to keep things fairly clean as I went. It was really, really nice. This week is pretty simple so there probably won’t be anything new this time. C & I still want to try to finish up a few little projects.
