Happy Wedding Day emilyinchile! May you make many beautiful memories with your family and friends today, congratulations!
DH and I have a memorial to attend that's a few hours away. We are leaving the kids home, though DS2 is getting picked up to go ziplining later. We'll likely be gone most of the day. Luckily still have tomorrow to relax together.
DS1 had a track meet last night and it was cold and windy. Fun to see him run, but I need to bring a blanket next time it's like that.
My pneumonia is still going strong. I managed to go into work and sit at my desk for a few hours yesterday. Today my kid has two soccer games and I’m hoping I’ll feel well enough to go watch.

If I knew nothing else about you, VillainV, your post would let me know you live in the US. I can't imagine going to work with pneumonia. My bosses wouldn't even allow it. They'd yell at me and send me home.
I went for run 2 of week 1 of C25K. I'm so out of shape compared to every other time I've gone back to running. I'm also the heaviest I've been. It sucks so much - Covid and peri have really done a job on my body. I don't think anyone would ever imagine I was a high-ish level athlete once. Bah. I'm trying to get back some of my mojo - running and weight lifting again. I don't want to be someone who can't do stuff due to being so out of shape.

I do live in the US, and I’m fortunate that I’m the supervisor for my operating location (my supervisor works several states away). I went in because I had a few tasks I needed to take care of in the office, and because I was bored out of my mind at home. So it was 100% my choice, knowing that it was going to be a very light day and that I could come home if/when I wanted to. I would never expect anyone who works for me to come in while sick!
I don’t know how to be one of those people who just always look stylish and put together, even in normal casual clothes. I think I look fine, but I rarely look styled.

Enjoy your day, emilyinchile I am lazily drinking coffee in bed while DS eats his breakfast watching YouTube In a few minutes I will get up to workout. Then we’re getting DS a desperately needed haircut and picking up dessert to bring to my sister’s later. She having people over to watch The Masters and celebrate our older sister’s birthday.
Best of luck and congratulations emilyinchile! I hope the weather holds out for you.
Not much planned for today…we were going to power wash the deck, but it’s way chillier and more windy than we expected, so that’s probably not happening today. I’ll get a workout in (on my new treadmill!!) and then maybe just lounge around and relax. I could use a low key day of nothing, tbh. I can’t even think of anything that I’d WANT to do today, so that tells me I should probably just chill.

Happy wedding day!
I’m up early to hopefully have coffee with friends? I don’t know if anyone will show. Lots of, “We’ll see, I probably won’t get up in time,” messages last night. It’s nbd, but I’m not a wishy-washy person, so I struggle dealing with those who are. If you’re like this, please stop, lol.
DD is just over the top with emotions since last night and I cannot take it. Last night, I was talking to my son about a birthday party he is attending and she overheard part of the conversation and demanded to know everything we were talking about. She does this constantly, and no matter how many times we tell her the conversation has nothing to do with her makes her relent from her demands.
This lead to a tantrum last night (she is 12) and I'm just so done with dealing with this.
No big plans today, thank goodness. It was so great to sleep in my own bed last night. Hoping to get a workout in here in a bit, then probably laze around on the couch watch movies. And maybe get a nap in.
We are headed to a wrestling tournament for ds shortly. It's 3 1/2 hours away so we'll be gone all day. No other major plans for this weekend except to maybe start working on the remodel project we want to accomplish before tourist season.
Wishing you a wonderful wedding day, emilyinchile!
Kid 1 had their wisdom teeth out on Wednesday, and the oral surgeon warned us that pain usually is at its worst on days 4-5. They woke up this morning miserable, and thankfully the prescription-strength ibuprofen they were given is helping to control it. We're supposed to have lunch this afternoon with my aunt who's only here from OOT once every year or so, and I'm going back and forth about cancelling, or at least not making them go. It's going to be their call, I think.
Pretty sure most of our other plans for the day are going to involve yardwork. It was over 80 degrees yesterday, and the weeds are taking full advantage after a very wet March. Ugh, I hate weeding.
I started the day with a nice hike with my friend and our dogs. Going out for dinner tonight. Now to figure out what to do with the middle of my day...
We have absolutely gorgeous weather here this weekend. Well, actually tomorrow is going to be 85 and I kind of wish we didn't jump right to summer weather, but I won't complain because I would rather have this than cold and rainy.
We got mulch delivered yesterday so that's mainly our project. I am getting a pedicure this morning. We may or may not go to a local minor league baseball game tonight depending how tired we are from mulching lol. I'm also looking forward to some time READING ON MY PATIO which I have looked forward to all winter.

Remember the days of long intro credits to tv shows? I've noticed streaming has returned to that. Watching old series, I've noticed the time creep smaller and smaller. L&O went from 70+ secnonds to 50 to almost nothing.
Apple tv and other streaming shows have returned to long credits. I just clocked 80 (8 clicks of fast forward 10 seconds, lest someone think I actually track).
I am happy it shows an appearance of resistance to ad dollars. But, am I wrong? I cannot imagine apple or disney giving up easy money.
It's a beautiful sunshine-y day where I am. I need to catch up on some work this morning due to taking most of the afternoon off yesterday to DD to an appointment, but looking forward to getting outside this afternoon and watching DS's baseball scrimmage game.
We had breakfast with FIL for DH’s birthday. He gave DH a $$$$ check. So our first question is, what did BIL need $ for because FIL always gives equal. It will likely help us not pull from savings for house painting and some more outdoor pool stuff.
Pedicures with E later and then she has a birthday party.
Hoping today is good weather and a beautiful day for you, emilyinchile!
We are going to a baseball game tonight and so far the weather looks good! A little cooler than I would prefer but clear so I will take it. Looking forward to being at the ballpark and catching up with friends we haven't seen in couple of months. I really should run a couple of errands before that, but right now my dog is snuggled in my lap so I don't really want to leave. I was gone a good part of the day yesterday and will be today too so he deserves some attention this morning! Also a good excuse to stay on the couch, lol.
Made a quick pit stop at the Albanese Candy Factory on our way to the memorial. Got 2 bags of Gummi goof ups!
I am jealous you got to go in person! I literally just opened an order of the new True to Flavor bears and the twice dipped dark chocolate malt balls. I was worried they’d be melty because FedEx kept having delays and sometimes they refuse to deliver on Saturdays but all was good.
It looks like you’d get a good mix with the goof ups!

tacokick they were just opening when we arrived and there was already a small crowd waiting. The bags we got had many flavors and are a mix of bears, worms, gators, and unidentified shapes. Perfect to have for movie nights with the kids. $10 is still a deal, but those bags were $5 just a few years ago.
Today is the Prom Night wedding reception. H may go to lunch with a friend, but I think I’ll just hang at the Airbnb and read. I can’t wear a bra at all today because I don’t want a strap mark in my backless dress 🤣 one of my friends may stop by to chat while she’s out running around, but I’m enjoying the thought of no plans and a quiet day.

One of my dogs woke me up early this morning, so I figured I might as well go get the fasting blood work done that I haven't felt like fasting to do even though it's been on my to-do list all month. And then I got to the lab and didn't realize it wasn't even open yet so had to wait about 20 min. before they even opened. And while I was gone, dd texted me that our power went out. But did I think to stop and get coffee on the way home? No I did not, because 8 hadn't had my coffee yet and my brain wasn't fully functioning. I was also really confused as to why our garage door wouldn't open. Luckily I found some chai tea concentrate that 8 enjoy drinking cold. It's not even storming here anymore, it's sunny (but cold and windy), but I'm guessing there's a tree down somewhere because FB tells me a good portion of our town is without power. My only plans for today were to clean and take DD to softball practice, and if neither of those things end up happening I won't be too sad lol.

Have you seen Twin Peaks? The opening credits are probably 3 minutes long. It feels interminable, but the music/imagery is very soothing.
I’m hanging outside because it’s lovely and warm. Just finished my first cup of coffee and am about to go grab a second.
The puppy is digging and generally being a menace because she’s bored and I’m not ready to play with her yet. I made her sleep/cuddle for too long this morning.
DS2 has a soccer game at noon and then DH and I are headed to Boulder to do a stained glass class and have dinner. Our alma mater plays for the frozen four championship and the game is at the exact same time as the class, so that kind of sucks. We delayed our dinner reservation, so we’ll go back to the hotel and watch the game on delay. Just need to make sure DH doesn’t hear/see anything until we can get back to the hotel and watch. Hoping for a fun date night even though I’m on my period and feeling kind of gross.
I had so many great intentions for today. Neighborhood garage sale! Working on my irrigation drip line and planning out what I want to get as far as natives this year! Hitting up a resale store to look for cute outfits for my girls trip in May! All things I enjoy and it’s beautiful out.
But here I am, nearly 11, not doing a damn thing yet (been up since 6 with the dogs, so didn’t even sleep in).
I WILL shower at some point because I am having dinner with my sister and going to see the Book of Mormon.
But without set plans, I’m still so easily tempted into lazy mode whenever I have a kid free weekend. I hope that dissipates at some point. At least I’m not feeling depressed/lonely anymore?
