Five on Friday #8

Nothing exciting or major to report!

1. We have a busy family weekend starting tonight with the picking up the older grandgirl from swim team and spending the evening with her as it is date night for our son and DIL. Little grandgirl stays at kid's night out at nursery school. Tomorrow is little one's 3rd birthday party prep and family birthday dinner. Sunday is the party. Will all be fun.

2. We've been researching the best kind of carpet to buy for pets, stairs and heavy use. Remembering the smell of new carpet outgassing, we decide to wait until the weather allows opening windows. We only have carpet upstairs, on the stairs and in the tiny bonus room downstairs that I use as exercise space.

3. Winter rain and cold weather returned on Sunday and lasted through yesterday. We are to have today and tomorrow clear; then another storm arrives.

4. Unusually for us, I had to throw away some moldy cheese, questionable jars of things in the frig, old spices, granola we didn't want to eat, etc. I guess I haven't paid close enough attention lately. Back on the little/no food waste wagon.

5. I found I really didn't like the rec center Feldenkrais class as my back hurt the whole session and the instructor did not have any alternatives to offer to solve that. Went twice; not going back after talking to my Pilates instructor who also couldn't come up with any solutions that fit the situation.

  1. I never have anything interesting to report if I'm not on a trip. Same things different day, but switch up what tasks happen what days-the extent of my variety. I don't even have grandkids to help break up the monotony.

  2. At least you can say you tried - I will try just about everything anyone suggests to me, if for nothing else than to rule out whether it works. You just found another thing that doesn't - back to the drawing board.
