Good morning, Cheryl, and all after,
Supposed to be hiking today and taking my boys but have a UTI instead. I haven't really had issues with these except during my pregnancies with the boys but it sure stinks! I took oregano oil before bed thinking that might help (with the infection), but was up about 7 times last night and took a big glob of minced garlic with honey on it about 1 AM, along with another 2,000 mg vitamin C. The burning is a lot better this morning but I'm going to stay close to home and dose repeatedly throughout the day.
So, will plan to do a load of laundry, figure out dinner, exercise if I feel up to it (was super tired yesterday, maybe due to the UTI coming on), and maybe work on some planning. I have been slacking on that lately--just seem to have a lack of focus.
My yearly hiking trip with my dad is in 3 weeks! My mom is actually going this year but will only hike some days. I doubt she'll want to do the "strenuous" 12-miler we have planned for one of the days. We'll be in the Berkshires in Connecticut and Massachusetts, my dad's choice, some on the AT and some days just on local trails that sound good. This year, we rented a bungalow off Airbnb because our accidental ending up in an apartment last year worked so nicely. We can make and eat breakfast and pack lunches though we plan to eat out a big dinner in the evenings. I need to plan some easy meals for the family to fix the week I'm gone.
School is still out, surprise, surprise. I'm thinking it will be out the rest of this week, at least.
Mallory has an orthodontist appointment this afternoon. Today's payment and next month's and the braces will be fully paid for, yippee! We do the orthodontist's payment plan for our portion as they do not charge interest.
Nothing really exciting here. A couple of my girls are probably going to the church at 9:30 to help with VBS prep.
Have a great day!
Catherine
