October Vaca Halfway

 Sat: Woke up at a decent time. Had relaxing coffee time. Did some minor stuffies then got ready to head to Maddy's last home game (L 0-6), making a pit stop for curbside crunchies. From the game, I went to Salt Hill for DJ's birthday party. It was fun to be social and have a few beers for an evening. 

Sun: Woke up at a decent time. Had relaxing coffee time. I finished watching the Hulu documentary about Hurricane Katrina, read some of my book then Mike stopped by for a visit. After he left, I did some Barre, went grocery shopping, showered then called it a night with a pint.

Mon: Had my relaxing coffee time then got up and started the deviled egg process. I took a bunch of boxes primarily from my basement to the recycling, making more room for shelf storage. I went for a walk to finish meeting my calorie quote, showered then made a pumpkin cheesecake and finished the deviled eggs. 

Tues: I decided to get up and have my coffee time before heading in for the potluck at work fashionably late. From there, I went to get a massage then popped into the fords for taco Tuesday supplies. Mike came over and we chatted, had dinner and watched the first episode of the new season of Nobody Wants This.

Wed: I woke up pretty early for me and despite trying, I could not go back to sleep. Once I got out of bed, I had my relaxing coffee time then got up to get ready for my therapy appointment. I came home to do some stuffies, clean up the dishes then I headed outside to clean up my dead hostas. I ran an errand, went to Public House to have dinner with Kate then home to shower and call it a night.

Thurs: I had to set my alarm because Miss Quinn had a morning date with the vet. She was scared and peed in the crate but was such a good girl. I need to work on getting her to consume more water. Once we were home, I had relaxing coffee time then spent the rest of the afternoon finishing deep cleaning my kitchen and finishing a barre class. FYI, for hard brownies, the wet paper towel and short microwaves work like a charm. 

Fri: I slept in and had my relaxing coffee time. I did some stuffies and made a delicious apple crisp. I knocked out a little barre then got ready to head to ctown (as a cat) for the Halloween party at the Imperial. Had a few rum and cokes, got some good people watching in then headed out around midnight to go home, making a quick fast food pit stop. I don't think I got 1 damn trick or treater.

Sat: I wasn't able to fall asleep so I only slept for a few hours before I woke up at 9 for some reason. I had my coffee time then relaxed and ended up dozing for an hour. I did some laundry, some Barre then called it a night with a bubble bath. 

Sun: Daylight Savings Time, fall back style. I had my coffee time then got up and did some stuffies. I took a walk and made a chicken pot pie chowder and it actually came out pretty good. Next time I will use rotisserie chicken and add biscuits. Mike and I hung out for the evening and had our first sleepover in some time. 

Wed: Relaxing coffee time until shortly after noon then I did some stuffies and started deep cleaning my living room in preparation for the tree. Yup, I'm not waiting for Thanksgiving. I took a shower then spent the evening with my boys decorating for Xmas, relaxing and eating dins. 

Fri: Decent wake up and nice coffee time. I cleaned up the kitchen a little bit then Mike picked me up for our adventure to Charlestown to look at a house. We got there early and hiked the 12 acres for a bit then met their realtor for a tour of the house. It has good bones but there's a lot of cosmetic work to be done; it has a lot of potential to become a great little house and property. We are putting an offer in tomorrow. We went to dinner at the Sumner House then headed home, making a pit stop at the chopper for ice cream. 

Sat: I woke up and had relaxing coffee time. Mike left early to accomplish some projects at home. I cleaned up the dishes and deep cleaned the couch section of my living room. It was a very gross, cat toy jackpot situation. Much better now. I also deep cleaned my kitchen window and ended up breaking something (not glass) somehow. I went for a short walk then got ready to head to Cornish for the night with a quick Chopper pitstop. We had dinner with J&B and relaxed. I read my book and went to bed. 

Sun: I slept in a little bit while Mike replaced my brakes. We relaxed for a little bit then headed back to Leb to run some errands but Black Betty ended up acting funny. Mike is sure he didn't cause it and thinks it's the transmission and it progressively got worse so we brought it to the dealership. I've got the tracker for the week. We'll see what they say. We went back to Cornish to grab the truck, returned to grocery shop and head home for the night. We relaxed, made dinner, I finished my Barre class, showered then got back under the heated blanket. Oh and we agreed to an offer on a house.

Wed: I got up and had my coffee time. Once I got up, I cleaned up the kitchen a little bit, had a financial fitness zoom call, cleaned the ladies' potty room, put clean sheets on my bed, did a barre class then called it a day.

Fri: Got up at a decent time and had my coffee time. I figured out how to give myself a loan from my retirement account; I've now done it twice on the computer and am unsure if it went through. I took a a walk and when I got back, the boys were here. We hung out, made dins and had a movie night with Hook. I just requested the loan through my Vanguard app and it appeared to work. 

Sat: I woke up to some coffee time with my boys. I colored with Mason for a little bit while Mike set up my little treadmill, ate breakfast then we got ready to run some errands. Chris stopped by then we headed to the Rail Trail for a walk. We got stuff for dinner then headed home for the night to relax and watch movies. I did my computer stuffies and now I'm ending the day with Christmas Tree cakes. 

Sun: Just shy of 8, my boys woke me up and got me out of bed. I had my coffee time then got on the floor to color pictures with Mason. I had breakfast, played some more then the boys headed home. I ran some errands, made a grocery haul, did some home stuffies, ran on my new treadmill (felt better than I was expecting), took a shower, played with Mike then we made nachos for dinner and relaxed. 

Wed: Coffee time, did some dishes, laundry, and vacuuming, went to my therapy appointment, ran some errands, returned home to take a short walk, make guac for a work potluck, then called it a day.

Fri: I had relaxing coffee time, then got up to vacuum a little bit, wash some dishes, and start some laundry. I ran on the treadmill then showered and got ready to head to Cornish for the night. We had dinner then we played until it was quiet time. We went to bed pretty late.

Sat: We slept like poo so I woke up pretty tired. I had my coffee, relaxed a bit, Mike dropped Mason off with his mom then we got ready to walk a piece of land in Cornish. We briefly walked another (too steep) piece then drove to another piece to check it out before heading back to Leb. We napped (Mike longer than me) then I got up to do some things and take a shower; once he was up, we went to 5 Guys for dins then grabbed some groceries before calling it a night. We've been watching Black Rabbit. 

Sun: I had a boy alarm around 8ish. We hung out, he made breakfast, I made coffee, then he headed back to Cornish to pack for the holiday. I finished my morning time, got up to start dinner in the crockpot, opened delivered packages, cleaned up the kitchen a little bit, then Mike was back. We were going to walk another piece of land today but we decided against it and he took a nap and I cleaned my bathroom. Afterwards, I did a good run, took a shower, ate dinner then Mike and I played a little bit before relaxing for the evening. 

Sun: The boys and I have been in CT for the past 5 days for the turkey day holiday. The first 3 nights, we were at his dads and the last night, we were on the farm. His dad had been in the hospital (got the VID), and had been moved to a rehab facility for 10-14 days. For that reason, it was pretty low key. Mike made pizza and I made salad for dinner Thursday. Mike and then eventually us paid his dad many visits throughout the time we were there. Highlights include: relaxing, hide and seek, TV, walks, Xmas lights, duchess, trampoline park, new boyfriend. The ride to East Lyme was uneventful and leftover farm Thanksgiving was amazing. Family is fun and science is science. We headed home in the rain (after visiting the chickens) and arrived home in snow. A typical Sunday evening ensued.

Wed: I slept in then dragged my butt out of bed to have my coffee and snuggle time with the ladies. Once motivated, I got up and had something to eat, cleaned up the kitchen, did some stuffies and some Barre before getting ready to head to Cornish to hang out with the boys. I grabbed Moe's on the way and we just hung out and set up their little tree. Get to tha TRACKA.

Sun: I stayed home while Mike went to CT to hang with his dad. I needed at recharge weekend with quality time with the ladies so I allowed myself to be lazy. I slept in all 3 days. Friday, I stayed home all day cleaning up the kitchen a little bit, doing laundry, finishing a barre class, making the bed, etc. Black Betty came back to me (twice, the check engine light came on as they pulled into the neighborhood so they had to go back to fix a loose connection). Saturday, I was lazy but managed to do more laundry and go for a short run on the treadmill. Emilee and I went to Morgan's Christmas party for a few hours; it was very festive and fun and we snacked and sipped and did trivia. Today, I relaxed after I woke up until it was time to go to my moms for dinner. She made thanksgiving for us (Denise, Faith, Colin, and Mike). It was tasty and delightful without drama, however, Denise is a walking zombie right now and I'm still processing it. Despite that, a typical Sunday ensued.

Wed: My car battery died so I got up early to bring Mike to work so I could at least make it to 2/3 appointments before he needed the Tracker back to get Mason off the bus. He called me soon after to head to Wal Mart to grab a new battery and pick him up so he could switch my battery real quick. He went back to work and I had black betty to make it to all 3 of my appointments. I did some stuffies, ate breakfast then got my teeth cleaned and headed to Hanover afterwards to my therapy then hair appointments. I ran a few errands then headed home to call it a night. Exhausted. 

Sun: I had a restful/fun/tiring weekend with my boys. Friday, I slept in and relaxed for a while. I got up to do the girls' monthly potty room service, made something to eat then got ready to drive to Burlington. I went to Higher Ground to see Mihali and they were pretty fucking excellent. I drove to Cornish from the show. Saturday, I was woken up by my boys and I spent the morning hanging out with Mason while Mike worked on the side by side. When he was done, we got ready and headed to the Dickersons to play and make gingerbread houses (grabbing pizza on the way). We had a 530 time slot at VINS for the canopy Xmas light walk and it was pretty fun. We made a pit stop at my house so I could grab a few things and take care of the girls, then we headed back to Cornish to call it a night. We all got better rest and got up to get ready to head to Chester for a play date. We hung out, chatted, and grazed while the boys played, breaking up the afternoon with sledding. We left and made a pitstop at the VCS and Claremont to visit the singing house and drive Nelmar Heights. We finished the night with grocery shopping, tacos, stuffies and a long goodnight. 

Wed: I allowed myself to sleep in. I had my relaxing coffee time and snuggled with the girls, caught up on stuff and did a little shopping. I did some laundry, a little bit of vacuuming and kitchen clean up, and other tasky things. I opened deliveries and did some wrapping, took a Barre class then popped out to run a quick errand. I talking to Mike then showered and called it a day.

Fri: I allowed myself to sleep in and have a relaxing late morning, early afternoon. I finally got up to eat something, folded some laundry then headed downstairs for a quick run. Mike was here by then so I took a shower and got ready while he napped. We went to Kotos for dinner, had some fun then called it a night.

Sat: Mike woke me up and we chilled in bed for a little bit. We were up and ready just a little after 9 to go look at a house in Hartland. We are going to put an offer in but for far less than asking price. We headed back to my house to discuss it for a bit then Mike headed home and I stayed to do some computer stuff, relax for a bit, do some laundry, then I got ready to go to Cornish for the night, making pitstops at KAF, CVS, and Target. I did some barre, showered, then we had spaghetti and meatballs for dinner and watched a movie.
