Hello!
Checking in late, but better late than never, right?
I had to work today noon to five, so Maddy started the taco meat for me, which was helpful. We had a very simple taco dinner. Earl has been doing physical therapy for his neck condition, and today's appointment was scheduled for 4:30 and takes about an hour and a half, so he didn't get home till well after 6. His barbershop singing group meets for practice at 7:30, so he's off again.
Kids went back to school today after their fall break. It was a disappointing break due to cancelling our regular fall camping trip due to the forecast rain, which DID happen, amazingly (usually, they're wrong).
Tomorrow, I'm planning to hike. Just need some outdoor time. Coming home from a backpacking trip as I did last weekend is always depressing, knowing how many months it's likely to be before I can go again. As I mentioned on fb, I hauled 40.6 lbs about 20 miles in rain up and down mountains just fine, lifted many heavy floral arrangements and carried them for work last week, then somehow managed to pull something in my right shoulder blade area while SLEEPING Saturday night. Pathetic, huh? It's somewhat better today but not fully. I am taking anti-inflammatory meds a few more doses and maybe a muscle relaxer before bed.
Well, better go get my pack and water ready for tomorrow morning. I am beat and headed to bed soon (hey, it's almost 8!).
Alice, congrats to your daughter!
Cheryl, wow, you have frost before us! We're enjoying 60's to about 70 during the day and 40's most nights. Loving it.
Have a great evening!
