Mental Health

I'm so happy I took a mental health day. Ironically, I woke up with a headache and my whole body is sore. I think that's a remnant from mowing the lawn the other day but I don't see that getting any better after the day I have planned. That's what Tylenol is for though, right?

Last night around 2:30 or so, my Ring app alerted that there was movement at my front door. Now, that's concerning when I'm home alone, right?! I didn't realize at first that it was my home Ring so I checked PIB first. Nothing there. Then, I went to check my front door and lo and behold, there was a cat strolling across my front deck. Little shit. I have no idea whose cat it is but thankfully my boys were fast asleep because they would NOT have been quiet had they seen it. 

Jim is still in Columbus but will be home today. He said that the woman who he's working with plans on putting in about 4 hours today before heading home. I'm hoping that means Jim's home by 2:00 or so. We'll see. 

My plans today: When I finish this, I'm going to quickly walk the boys. Then I'll probably get a nice swim in and finally head out to do my errands. I'll first stop at Kroger to see if they have any hibiscus trees or bushes. I haven't seen any yet but fingers crossed. Then, I need to go to Aldi for a few things and then Lowes. Lowes is going to be a big bill but probably not as much as it typically is. I say that but then remember I need to get several new pots. I did purchase some brackets that I'm hoping will work on the deck railings for our flower boxes but we'll see. If they don't I'll send them back. I think most of my flowers this year will be in large pots that will be placed around the decks. I'm hoping to get my planting completed over the next two days so that my Sunday is open. 

Saturday we'll get our dirt delivery to fill in the pit in the front and then other areas around the yard. This should be the last landscape fix from the construction which makes me very happy. 

Other plans this weekend: I believe my Mom is coming down on Sunday for Mother's Day. I believe Anne is having a little get-together. Besides that and gardening, I've got nothing. 

Dinner tonight will most likely be Skyline. Tomorrow Jim wanted steak so I think I'll do the steak rigatoni which I haven't made in forever. 

Oh, and this time next week, Jim and I will be on our way to the Bay. Hopefully the weather or rather wind cooperates. I don't care if it rains but I need the ferry to run. 

K - I'm out. Time to get my walk on and my day started. Later!
