Not surprised to see a slight gain this week (tom), but I wore a pair of pants on Tuesday and they were more baggy than the previous time I wore them… Whoo Hooo!

Deck hasn’t been feeling well lately – daycare called on Tuesday and said he had a fever, so we picked him up, and headed to the doctor… She said it wasn’t hand, foot, and mouth, which is going around, but probably another virus causing the slight rash and fever… I stayed home with him yesterday and for the most part, he was miserable, but perked-up in the afternoon, had more of an appetite, and was drinking lots of fluids… Since we were stuck inside for most of the day, I took advantage of his improved mood and went for a walk before a big storm hit the area… Eric took advantage of not having to pick him up and worked late, but that just made my long day even longer… I love the little guy, but when he’s unhappy – it’s a rough time… All seems to be better today and so far, no calls from daycare… Yay!

I was off last Thursday and Friday and made use of my time – dentist appt, foot doctor appt, and painted the downstairs bedroom… My teeth are perfect (though I never floss, shhh!), my left foot has been hurting so I requested a sonogram to see if it’s neuroma, and the bedroom came out great! We just need to clean the carpet, setup the bed, move a wardrobe from the bedroom upstairs, and hang some pictures… Nothing like waiting to the last minute – this 3-day weekend will be no slouching for us!

This past weekend, we headed to Pittsburgh for a quick visit (and to pick-up some grass-fed beef)… The weather was gorgeous, we had quality time with the grandparents, got to see some siblings, hung-out with the cows and some new buppies, and met the new chickens that Eric’s brother is raising for eggs and meat… Deck also took his first tumble down some stairs and somehow managed to fall-off a step outside and land in a flowerbed… He barely cries anymore, but wimpers a bit and then carries on… This kid feels no pain! We were back by Sunday afternoon, so Eric could tackle the lawn, and then the weekend was over…

Our new LR window was supposed to be installed on Monday, but for whatever reason – they called and said it wasn’t going to be ready, and instead of scrambling to get it done before our guests come, we opted for June 16… Amazingly, it’s a Saturday, but the downfall is that I’ll have to take Deck out for a while so he’s not around all the noise and dust… So much for having everything done… I did manage to get some curtains hung, but messed up one of the trim around a window and need Eric’s handiwork to make it work properly…  The house is definitely looking more homey, which is what I love…

Work has been pretty quiet now that the annual meeting is over… I finished my last event-related project this morning and now I’m done for the next 2 years (designers rotate projects)! Overall, I’m happy with how things went, though I was never a fan of the logo (but it’s what the president chose)… Can’t win them all I suppose… Onto the next thing…

Hope you have a great, holiday weekend! Happy Thursday!
