Chore Day, Bore Day

 

Not a lot of excitement today! It was mostly a chore day. The bathroom got cleaned, the king sheets, bath towels, and kitchen linens laundered. I also mopped and vacuumed the upstairs as well as the stairs leading up.  Not much fun.

Dinner was a delicious repeat from last week. Biscuits and sausage gravy with an orange on the side.  Of course, the biscuits were fresh and homemade. My goal was not to do any major grocery shopping for the week. 

One thing I did get to, was hanging the brass estate sale sconce I bought a little over a week ago. I will probably end up putting battery candles in it for safety reasons. However, I needed to fill that space on the wall and this piece does that and can also provide some ambient light.

I did also have to pack a bag for a short trip to stay with Tommy's sister who is retiring at the end of the month. They are throwing a party for her at work, and we were invited.  She's earned her chance to take it easy, but it's also a good time for her to go. Her job is linked to an agency the current administration is trying to destroy. Not having to deal with that will be better for her in the long run.  And I can say that she is highly educated, experienced, and hard working. She has worked from home while I have been there. I've overheard non-stop meetings, planning, and days full of serious work.  People like her are looking out for all of us and putting their hearts and souls into it. I am happy it's time for her to retire.

Frankie is totally unaware that she is in for a couple of fun days. But she knows something is up because whenever I pack a bag, she goes somewhere. I hope to have good stuff to share when I get back!
