09-05-21 chores and family
I made a coffee and then tucked back in to my bed with my crochet project and watched a brain candy movie: Vacation Friends. It was actually amusing but rated R for drug use, I am pretty sure. After that I got out and mowed the lawn before spending time trying to figure out how I am going to design my catio with the collar activated door. It is too complicated to do in a rush so I will likely do it next weekend. I went to the theatre where Bill dropped off Gene and the new exchange student from Mexico, Golan. They carried the countertops up to the booth for me. I checked out the most recent stage while I was there and admit to being somewhat disappointed. There are key things that I needed done that I don’t see even in progress and some changes that are for the worse. That being said it was super cool to see the stage lit up by daylight. The windows are usually and will be permanently blocked off. With the windows there and the chairs gone, it is barely recognizable.
From there I went to Superstore to pick up the large Caesar salad I had promised to bring to Bill and Deanne’s for dinner. While I was there I saw a gaming chair and when I tried it out I felt it was much more comfortable than the chair I have in my office so I went to the desk and told them I would like the one in the box. It was on a trolley when I was done shopping ready to go. I loaded it myself and then went to ask one of the kids to come help me put it together at the office. Will was eager to and was a great helper although we were stunned to find it was used and filthy dirty. We put all the pieces back in the box and took it back to the store. I guess it was a return and they didn’t look in the box. They offered me the floor model at 15% off . It was in perfect condition and we didn’t need to put it together so I said yes and we took it and dropped it off.
I put on a big comfy dress and threw my hair in a s crunchy today just to be comfortable and get things done. I was not expecting Family Photos! Oh well. The kids had fun with a fizz rocket involving vinegar and baking soda. Sawyer was tasked to get it off the roof at one point. He was brave and terrified in the same breath. It was an amazing spread of food and there were 14 of us including the exchange students. So nice to still have my family bubble.
