Raked up 2 40g bags of leaves today, in addition to helping Brian store stuff in my basement & garage (some to be sold,some for later pickup as truck was full.)
And now it's getting windy and I already see another 2 bags worth on the ground. Oy. And I'm on my own for leaves, as one is traveling and the other just had surgery. Unless I can get the new guy, but he's got a lease thru December, so it will probably just be painters and contractors.
At least I know I get Brian back for a visit to get his stuff.
I think it's fair to note that before leaving, he got us a Ben, who I'm really coming to like. He LOVES to tell me all his house projects, and y'all know how I am about that. Plus, he's construction industry adjacent (architectural metalwork-locals, he's at Gutierrez and did a lot at Woodberry) and has all the #s and insider scuttle, so maybe just maybe I can find a reliable contractor. Or just serial reliable contractors.
Uhg, even more leaves, but wet now, may or may not get to them today. Need to go pants shopping, triple Uhg.
I stayed in bed all day yesterday. Super windy day that makes everything hurt. I am glad it was a Saturday which meant I could stay in bed. BUT it feeds the depression, so getting out of bed today was doubly hard which means I had to make myself do it. Also it feeds a bit of spiraling of me seeing everything that needs to be done and internally freaking out at doing so little of the real stuff that needs doing.
So I got up and went to church to see the parents. I've been to one grocery store to get stuff for Thanksgiving. I have a to do list and fingers crossed I stay on task and plow through it.
I have off Wed - Fri this week, so I hoping to get some deep cleaning done.
Attempted to find dress pants at Kohls, failed. Failed to find a bird feeder at my favorite nursery. Found one at Walmart. So I guess that's a win? Too windy to do leaves. That IS a win, even if it's also a mess.
Off to Target to buy socks and such.
I'm going to get my daith pierced in a little bit, because fuck this migraine.
Timelies all!
We ended up canceling on the playdate because Mr. S has been coughing a bit more than usual, and has been cranky boy all day. Turns out the hot water heater in our friends' house broke, so canceling is better for them too.
Good luck with the piercing! When it works for you I'll talk my sister and niece into it.
Lots and lots of ~ma headed your way, ND and Pix!
I think I have 90% of the food I need for T-day. Had to go to 3 places to find the ready for the oven turkey breast. (I cooked on last week to test out and the grocery store I got that one at was out of them today). I only found 1 type of gluten free box dressing and it was $7.99 A BOX! So, I may not have that.
I will re-go through the dishes today to make sure i have everything.
I guess I should decide what I want to eat Thurs and get some stuff.
