Morning Janice, and all who follow!
Today started out relaxing, but once I got up I hit the ground running and have been knocking items off of that to-do list! I went back to bed after Jean left (to get my ginormous puppy-snuggles, of course!), but didn't end up going back to sleep. I laid in bed watching the news and then an episode of 19 Kids and Counting before getting up. As soon as I got up it was puppy care (feeding and outside time), breakfast, and work. I also filled out our new client registration form for the kennel where we decided to board Grimm while we're gone. My mom is going to stay here and keep an eye on things, but she is soooo not a dog person, and Grimm is a lot of dog (
), so off to the doggy hotel suite he goes!
Left on my list today is:
*Knock out my NSA work. I want to clear my inbox before we leave, and I'm getting close! This will be the first time in 3.5 years that I've taken a trip without taking my laptop and just going 'off the work grid', so it's a little anxiety-inducing!
*Wash/replace the sheets on our bed
*Vacuum. We bought Grimm some new toys this weekend, which means our floor has a nice new layer of fiberfill and string all over it. There's even some stuck to his big ol' face right now as he naps
*Empty the dishwasher*Contact the bank to let them know we'll be gone and not to flag our cards!*Fix straps. I bought a super-cute island print romper for our trip, but the torso needs to be
slightly longer. Adding an inch or so to the straps should do the trick.
Not sure what dinner will be. Chicken curry over rice is what's on the menu, so I might just stick with that, even though I haven't thawed any chicken. Tomorrow is another busy day (yoga, gym chiropractor in the morning, then choir at night), so I need to pull out whatever meat we'll have tomorrow as well.
Have a GREAT rest of the day, ladies!
Mandy
