It’s Saturday morning, and I finally have some energy and less achiness. Wednesday morning, I trimmed and mowed my grass, and by Thursday night, after returning from downtown, I was feeling the price from Thursday morning‘s activity. Friday, I only managed to order my groceries, bring them inside upon their arrival, and go to the bathroom. I did spend about 90 minutes on the deck toward mid-evening, but the remainder was spent in bed. Colonel Deeds and Harrigan spent the majority of their time snuggled next to me when they were not outside, playing, or investigating the parameters of the yard.

This morning is quite beautiful and comfortable with agreeable temperatures in the low 70s, and a cool breeze cover in the area. We are expected to make it into the mid-80s today. It’s a bit overcast and there is a suggestion of rain later in the morning or early afternoon.

I have the next three days free from teaching as schools begin getting underway for their 2023–2024 academic year. Other than a training event for House Managers, I am relishing this free time. I am hoping I will have the energy and a cooperative body to hopefully explore some things of interest. There is also a need to have this personal downtime before lessons and house management schedules take over so I can accomplish things around the house while working on my main project. Of course, there’s time to be spent with my five furry companions.

Make it a great day!
