Starting with working late on Thursday night, I was already tired by the time I got home from buying groceries after work on Friday. But it was worth it to work late on Thursday night so that I could get Bubbie to the ortho doc in the morning - so far, so good on his wrist. He gets a custom splint ($$$) this week.
On Saturday I drove to Brenham bright and early, intending to help my mother with some housework, then meeting a friend for lunch. As it turns out, the friend had to cancel so I had even more time to spend with mother, which is a good thing. I made her a pie,
we enjoyed some chicken salad sandwiches,
and after a very full morning of sweeping, vacuuming, scrubbing, and cleaning we ate pie and ice cream. We got some groceries bought, her hair cut, and some laundry done.
I was way too tired to drive to Highlands, so Hubby was on his own there until the next morning. I showered, ate, watched about 30 minutes of TV, then passed OUT. The next morning I drove to Burnet with some cinnamon rolls. Then we got some of that thicket near the barn cleared away, moved the grills back about two feet, and made plans to build a patio for them to sit on. I also decorated the little $5 tree I put in the barn.
I placed it on a plant stand so it would be taller and hot-glued some corks around the pot it was in. It makes the Barn a cheery place. We didn't go to a winery or brewery, staying close to Highlands the whole day and eating a charcuterie lunch. Then drove home at sundown and enjoyed dinner at home.
Tired again, but another good weekend. I think I'm starting to feel the years! Welcome to 60, right?
