This will be short and quick, sorry gentle readers. *smile* but we are preparing for Camping Adventure: Round 2 and I spilled coffee all over my lap top at class and it's being a pill. I am hoping and praying it dries out. At least I think I was able to get the very important data off of it. Lesson learned: No matter how tired you are don't ever drink near your lap top. EVER.I worked a little bit this week in the basement. I do have some before pictures but decided I would wait until the end to show them. So be looking forward to that post in Early August. I got a bit accomplished... I also got a lot of my August Birthday gifts wrapped and ready to go to the recipients. I think I have 7 August birthdays to remember... WOW!
Saturday we cleaned the yard. We hauled everything we remotely could easily find to take to the dump and we did so. We still have some paint cans to recycle, but otherwise we took, gasp, 1140 pounds to the dump Saturday. That did include our neighbors box spring they wanted to get rid off, but regardless... all the old lumber from the corner of the yard is gone. We have a bit of yard reclaimed for play area and it looks a bit better. I still haven't put up our privacy barrier things, but hopefully that will be done this coming week.
Walking took a back seat sadly. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday I was in some discomfort and not feeling well at all, so the walking fell by the wayside as I was just focusing on running the house. We will make up for it this weekend though with camping, and next week we will return to our evening and early morning explorations.

Great post! SO sorry to hear about your laptop!! I hope it becomes usable again. And I hope you are feeling better and will have a wonderful weekend camping. Cute pic of your sweetie and your little one!
ReplyDeleteIt's useable with a plugges in key board... :-) But I do need something portable for classes, so gasp, if it doesn't work it self out I maybe looking for a decent cheap one, and then ONLY use it for classes.
DeleteThe hubs and Bear use to fall asleep like that all the time. Its an old picture but one of my favs! Thank you!
Oh my - I would have cried about the laptop! Here's hoping that it dries out and you can recover everything!! Hope your weekend is filled with laughter & love!
ReplyDeleteMy very smart husband got on Amazon before we left to camp and ordered a new key board and now this evening it arrived and he put the computer all back together and we are working again! Love my hubs!
DeleteWhat a sense of accomplishment to get that much hauled away! It's nice when you have something to measure it by - like the weight of the trash or number of bags you got rid of. Looking forward to seeing pictures of your basement and the progress you made on it!
ReplyDeleteIt rather embrassing to state such a large amount, but yes we feel a great sense of accomplishment. Thank you!
DeleteI bet your backyard looks so much better! What a sense of accomplishment you must feel! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy we can reclaim that, would I be bad to say it has been 5 years that the lumber has been piled there? *sigh* but we have it gone. I kept telling the hubs we might be able to use it for something..... LOL Like a hoarder!
Deleteenjoy your camping time, we spent most of 4th of July week camping and had a blast. The more we go, the more we want to keep going!
ReplyDeleteWe had so much fun and really enjoy the completely away from the world time. No TV, no computer, and our daughter just dances around making up songs about nature all around us. I think we all retired to bed and were asleep before daark each night. It was very nice!
