What a week it has been.
I started off by celebrating my 31 years as an X-Ray tech with my weekend co-workers. A nice group of people, no drama and usually a smile on their faces. I think this is the most peaceful group I have yet to work with! It makes Monday seem very loud...
The neighbor that lost half of the tree when it unexpectedly fell, just went ahead and cut the rest of the tree down. It had some weird looking places on it - was most likely dying. But man, this makes the view different in my backyard. The grass is really suffering back here and I have had zero time or energy to water it. Its just too hot out.
I work at my puzzle table a few times a week and it helps to make me feel calmer. This one was given to me by a friend, but I also find them at Half Price Books and Goodwill. The Girl says she has some I can do, too. That puzzle table was a good idea!
Moving day dawned. Once the office was opened, Bubbie paid his deposit, got his keys, and we were in business. Between he, The Girl, Scout, and myself we got most of his things loaded into our cars and up a flight of stairs to his new place, which is very nice. I am doing my best not to worry.
On Thursday, I unloaded the rest of the room right out into the garage. I wore myself out, but it made me feel productive. It's decision time: either take it with you or donate/recycle/trash it. I already have plans for that room.
Moving during the hottest time of the year is a Cannary family tradition, I guess. So is getting a cold beer afterwards. I treated myself to an apricot Belgian white while I sat and journaled. Incidentally, this is the place where I discovered I had a very flat tire after meeting up with a friend. Returning to the scene of the crime, ha ha.
I also thoroughly cleaned and restocked my fridge and freezer. I know it just looks like a lot of bevvies in there, but I also cooked taco meat and chicken breasts to freeze, along with portions of ground beef and some frozen veggies. I should be able to feed myself pretty easily and now all of the space in here is MINE.

I gave the guest bathroom a refresh and deep cleaning, hung a new shower curtain and liner, hung those plaques I had found at Goodwill months ago, swapped out the outlet cover, put the new towels in the linen closet, put some tub appliques down, washed the rug, added a plug-in air freshener.

Its not fancy, but it is clean and useable once more.
The only cooking I did this week was very easy and should last me at least three days - Suddenly Salad pasta mix with added sauteed shrimp, extra peas, and quartered cherry tomatoes. Quite good. After we finish up moving the rest of the stuff out of my garage I will get myself ready for the weekend then plop myself down and read until bedtime because I am TIRED.
Happy weekend!
