What the week holds and rainy days

This week I am off five days in a row, which always feels like such luxury to me!
the prickly pear is starting to bloom here

There's a chance of  rain for most of the week, and hail one of those days.  So I will need to practice parking Brigid in the empty side of the garage.  Why have I not done this yet?  The garage has been under control for some time now.
Also this week:
*I am determined to get further on the photo album project.  The photos are stacked in chrono order, waiting for their new home, and I am making slow progress.  I ordered two more empty albums from Hob Lob, and once all albums are complete, I will scan in the pages.  I knew this was going to be time consuming.  What I didn't realize is how hard it is to review the last 40 years or so, in photos.  I take breaks from it often.
*I need to replace the weather stripping on the attic opening in the hall and I have a new roll of that. Might as well do the front door, too, since I bought the supplies over a year ago.  Procrastinate much, Gina?
*I will pick up filler groceries from HEB Curbside.  The savings in gas is negated by the slightly increased cost of food from curbside ordering, but I need a break from both temptation and general grocery shopping.
*A book will be finished: Not All Bastards are From Vienna.
*I'm on call one evening
*I will take a walk all 5 days and log my food into the Vida app
*Perhaps I will take a day trip to Burnet 
Its gonna be a good week - what do you have planned?

Yea! For days off! I don't drive anymore so I love instacart delivery. I hate to depend on someone to help me. I buy what's on sale each week and that's what I eat. I also have Walmart+ and enjoy it too.

Pup has vet today, again, and I'm having my hip looked at Wednesday. Those are the big variations. I'll stop at my daughter's Wednesday as I have food for her that I froze, her favorite curry. We have storms and variabkecweather all week. I substitute teach Friday afternoon. Mostly just need to keep at life admin and house sorting/ reduce clutter.

I hope you enjoy your days off! Definitely start parking in the garage and getting used to it. I LOVE having my car in the garage (of course up here I do have to worry about snow/frost all winter and having a garage is a huge game changers when it comes to that).

How lovely to know you have 5 days to do what you like (more or less). You almost always have a to-do list. It would be nice to have sunshine. Like you we have a week with no sun. Rain some days.

5 days in a row sounds like a dream! I hope you get a lot done and have some time for yourself too!

I miss having a garage. We have one but it's original to the house and so the only car that would fit in there is a 1929 model!!
