Loooooooooong weekend
The weekend is finally here. A 4-dayer. I've been busy and am glad for a chance to kick back. The air is working, my car is fixed, the washing machine seems to be working okay, and the house is reasonably clean. Except our bedroom, because half of the contents of our closet are on the floor of the room. We need to go look for some kind of closet organizer since the husband ripped out the shelf that was in there when the A/C got replaced. So if we can get that done, and get this new curtain rod hung that I bought, and also get some drywall repairs taken care of (the husband put a hole in the wall putting in our whole house fan because the wiring was getting hung up on some insulation), we'd probably be set for a while. Unless we wanted to start working on the back yard or something. Anyway, we do have a short list of things we need to get done around here that could be somewhat time-consuming, but totally worth it. I don't want all that other work I did to get things organized around here to go down the drain!
Some friends of ours are having a BBQ potluck get-together today. We might stop by at some point. I don't want to be there for the whole 8+ hours or whatever it is, but I wouldn't mind hanging out for a bit.
The other thing that's been on my mind as this weekend approached is that this was the last weekend we got to see our friend Jeff before he died. It was the Saturday of the 4th of July weekend that he and his girlfriend were over for BBQ. So reall it was July 2nd, but it was Saturday. Who knew that was the last time we were going to see him, have dinner with him, and enjoy his company. Between that night and August 21st, we only talked to him on the phone and traded e-mails. And there were a handful of missed opportunities to get together for lunch, dinner, drinks, where it just didn't work out and we said "next time." Still makes me sad. So, I'll be thinking of Jeff this weekend and toasting him at some point. It's still hard to believe he's gone.
So it's Saturday, the first of four fabulous days off (though I did bring home some work with me to see if I can FINALLY get to some things that have been weighing heavily on me!), and there's nothing I absolutely have to do. I love that. I think I'll have to go to the gym and then get my car washed this morning. Then, who knows?
