The guys were here again before 8:00 this morning to finish the job. They worked all morning and I think they left around 1:30. Glad to have that project completed. It hit me today how much faith the owner of the business put in me that I would pay when the job was done. He didn’t require a deposit and is trusting that I will pay. They did a nice job and were very professional to work with. I sure am trusting they got my water leak fixed.
We have a big area in the back yard that needs grass seed put down. We will need to go to town tomorrow and pick up some seed and get that put down. I have extra straw we can use to put over it. We don’t have a city lawn by any means but I don’t want to leave such a bare area open in the back yard. Jason is getting married in my back yard the end of September and I would like it to look a bit better than it does right now.
Ellexia came out late morning to spend the day. Her daddy brought her out. I fixed them both breakfast when they came – blueberry pancakes, bacon and scrambled eggs with toast. We took Ellexia back in around 7:00 tonight. Stopped at McDonald’s and got her some food before we took her home. We had a quiet afternoon together. I so enjoy her company when she comes to play for the day.
Jim didn’t get much sleep last night as he didn’t get to bed until very late and then got up when the workers showed up. He got a good nap in this afternoon. I didn’t take a nap today so hoping I will sleep long and hard tonight.
The infectious disease doctor’s office called today and I have an appointment for a week from tomorrow. If I have another rough day or two I am to call them and they will work me in earlier. We are leaving for CO the day after my appointment so hoping they don’t need to do any testing that can’t wait. We will see how this plays out. Getting well will take priority over vacation but hoping I don’t have to choose between the two.
I have had a good day again today. Only one trip to the bathroom today! Wow! That hasn’t happened for a bit. I had some mild cramping late afternoon but even that is better than it has been. I only have a few doses of the antibiotics left so hoping I don’t have a relapse when the pills run out. My biggest fear is getting out to CO and having another bad episode. I will talk to the doctor and see what they can do to prevent that from happening or at least give me a back up plan to use if it does.
Tomorrow is a quiet day at home. It will be nice to not have workers in the yard. I do have a friend coming over late morning and we are doing a little project together but that won’t take long. It will be nice to sleep in if I can in the morning. I may go to bed early tonight so will probably be up fairly early tomorrow.
Friday the handyman is coming to do a water leak repair in the laundry room. Other than that we don’t have anything going on this weekend. I need to start pulling things that I want to take to CO and I need to finish getting my house cleaned so it will be ready for the house sitter.
I called the meat locker today and asked them to cut the roasts as small as possible when they package our beef. We have trouble eating a full roast and end up wasting part of it. They had my order from last year so I didn’t have to do a new one this time. I sure am hoping the beef this year is as good as the one we got last year. It was the best beef we have ever had.
It is nice to cross a couple things off my pending list. Most days I cross one off and add two. Today I got to cross three things and didn’t have to add anything. I’m grateful!
Grateful the work on our drainage problem is complete, grateful Ellexia spent the day with me, and grateful I have a doctor’s appointment for next week.
