Word of the Day

Lostivity - State of being lost.


BW Babe called yesterday to tell me that I wouldn't have to drive her and JC to Eau Claire today. However, she did want me to stop over yesterday to pick up mail for T-Square and Ma AND some rhubarb that Ma wanted to give to her neighbor. I gave her an angel necklace to wear before, during, and after JC's surgery on Wednesday.

I went to the city to yoga with T-Square this morning. It was a soothing workout. I pray that I can draw on the workout in the coming days. While I was in the city, I went shopping for supplies. I hope I got enough food but not too much. I purchased four new pillows for the grandchildren to use. I also got some fun stuff for them to play with while they're here. I stopped at the grocery store to clarify the decoration needed on the two birthday cakes. Then, I headed to the other grocery store to purchase more steaks, and LOTS of food. I racked up enough points to save 35 cents per gallon on gas...up to 15 gallons. I plan to fill the tank the next time I'm in the city....when I pick up the birthday cakes, and T-Square and Ma on Friday.

I bought so much food that I had to put some of it into the downstairs fridge. I sure hope that it's working OK. I've checked it twice since putting the steaks in it but...? I plan to check again before heading to bed. Those steaks were way too expensive to risk. Even the hamburger was a bit spendy. I'm hoping the baked goods survive the heat and damp. Ice cream is in the downstairs freezer.

Laundry is being worked on as I write this. The garbage is out on the main road. I re-installed the driveway reflectors that were decidedly tilting, using a tent stake to drive in some deeper holes. Our soil is way too rocky and it makes installation of driveway reflectors a chore.

I had hoped to stop and get a hair cut and style while I was in the city but...I ran out of energy and time. With the rain we got while I was in the city, it's probably just as well. My hair has decided to do it's thing since I've been here. Lots of humidity, lots of curls. I'll have to at least wash it on Thursday morning before HTP gets here. #1 Son and #1 DIL will be picking him up at the airport on Thursday. Today? I "think" Sarge, D Buddy, Tammy and Little Jon hit the road for The Lake today. As for DD Daughter, she posted a Facebook status that sucked. Will she be coming with the kids? I know she and the kidlets will be here if possible.
