There was nothing spectacularly interesting, good or bad in this day. It was just pleasant and productive and restful.
I woke up early and fell asleep again, spent 5 hours on some overdue bookkeeping. I like catching people up, feels like I am needed. Went out and mowed the lawn and tackled a huge job. Last year my gazebo was still up when we got our first snow. I used my broom to push the snow off and it ripped the cover. I have a 20 x 30 tarp that I covered my camper with in the winter which the kids had folded up for me when they were all here in April. That sounds so weird given they live 4 minutes away. I managed to get the gazebo together at a certain level, arrange the tarp over everything and then put the legs on to lift it all up. It was quite the battle of will at several points and I was sweaty and exhausted but it is up. I will see how it fairs the night and then put up the screens tomorrow. It will be nice to have my staycation spot complete. I am hoping to get my new home office space set up as I don’t want it in my dining room anymore…
I watched two very interesting movies as I got very far with the blanket I am crocheting. Arrival with Jeremy Renner and Amy Adams made my brain twitch a little bit. It was a reverse tower of Babel. The Imitation Game with Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightly was touching and informative. I saw the Enigma machine in real life so it was interesting to watch this movie about cracking it and this early computer. Also extremely sad statistics at the end.
So, that was it. A very nice start to a May Long Weekend Staycation.
