Friday

This kid is going to be a high school senior in 11 days.  I am now feeling exactly the same way she looks on the subject.  I just got used to her being in high school... (Covid, and a sophomore year of virtual school didn't help) and how she's almost done.  Ugh.  

In other news...

This was a really busy week... lots of taking kids to their schools and sitting in the car (which was hotter than a furnace thanks to the weather) while they did whatever they needed to do (photos for two, schedule pick up for the other).  All the fees (OMG the fees $$$) are paid.  

I have now joined the dark side and am writing on a laptop.  The good: it's portable, so I can go where the noise isn't.  The bad: I have (and I knew this, we've had a laptop before) Ouija fingers and without touching the mouse, I'll suddenly be on the National Security page for Moldonavia,  or worse, accidentally delete a paragraph and not realize it until later :(  I guess I didn't need those words anyway...

I think I'm going to have to get a regular mouse and sit at a table, as much as I am enjoying writing on my bed in a room with air conditioning...  I'm also writing music-less (unless I use my phone, which is distracting in and of itself) so I need to fix that. 

The H had three days off this week, which he wasted  spent playing some rocket launching game on the Playstation for hours at a time (probably shouldn't complain he needs to take days off) but between launches we did:  some yardwork, went to the dump, went to a movie, fixed the garbage disposal, and he went to the sporting goods store (without me, thank you mandatory meeting I had to attend) to find the thingie for the thingie so the new 'fishing' raft motor can do some thing, so we can use it. 

I did not read a single page this week.  Thanks, reading rut... but I did write a lot, although my word count went down, so maybe I accidentally deleted more than I realize, stupid touch mouse.    

Weekend plans: 

Taking the SS Fishy McFishing Raft out for it's maiden voyage on some unsuspecting lake this weekend.

Prep the dining room to be repainted.  I think I'm just going to paint it the same color as the rest of the downstairs.  Not feeling creative in the painting department, plus I already own a can of paint in that color (yellow.)

Laundry, it never ends...

Freaking out about the upcoming school year?  The cross country schedule next week has 6-7 am practices on it.  I might take Lappy the Laptop and write in the car, no point in driving home for 45 minutes.  I could also...read a book.

Trying to get my reading mojo back... 

Carpe Weekend, or something.
