Busy, Busy, Busy

I have a lot of jobs today and tomorrow in preparation for leaving Wednesday and I'm hoping each day to get my shit done before noon so I can relax for most of my day. Additionally, Jim's on 2nd shift this week so that will help me with my morning walk as he'll be able to take Boo. I'm also hoping that will allow for him to deal with his laundry and cleaning. Today, however, he's going to go paint at his friend Chris's house around noon before he has to be at work his shift. It's going to be a long day for Jimmy. 

Today my jobs entail walking Scout, mowing the backyard, and then going to Costco and Aldi. It's a lot but I want to get the majority of jobs done today so everything tomorrow is stuff around the house. I'll also go to the bank and gas up the car (since I don't plan on driving anywhere tomorrow). 

The weekend was good. On Friday, my neighbors house went on the market and so the evening was spent watching several couples get a tour. At first I was in the living room window with my binoculars and wine trying to get a looksee at who we might be our new neighbors. Once it started raining though we sat on the front deck and kept an eye out. By Saturday afternoon, there was a "sale pending" sign up. That's some crazy shit. I immediately sent a text to my neighbors selling and got the names of our new neighbors so we could stalk them to see what we'd be dealing with. Seems they are very young (probably mid-20s), newly married; he works for PNC and she's a physician's assistant. Apparently she's pregnant with her first baby. He's from Cincy, she from Michigan. I'm sure they'll be a good fit...we'll see. 

Sunday Jim and I went to Trip and Susan's. They fed us lunch and then we hung out in the pool and once JJ got home (he'd been at a card trading show) we played us some volleyball. I'm sad to say that my team (JJ, me and Susan) fell twice to those cheaters Trip and Jim. I'm still shocked that Jim actually played pretty well. Hell must have frozen over. Oh well, even though I was a loser I had a great time. They're backyard oasis is so lovely. Can't wait to go back. 

When we got home, I was going to cook but then just didn't feel like it. So, we ended up getting Chinese delivered and now we have leftovers for the next couple night so I won't have to cook this week either. Woot! 

Here's something annoying: I ordered a new fan to take up to the Bay and specifically ordered the fan I bought so it would obviously be delivered before we left. It was supposed to be here today but then I got an email saying they had to push the date to...July 2nd. Fuck! And they won't let me cancel the order. I guess I'll keep it here and then buy one today to take up. Dummies. 

Okay, time to get a move on. It's so disgustingly sticky out there which will make mowing the backyard a bear. Oh well. Happy Monday. Later!
