C is so happy to be home and has lots of things for dh and I to do. At my in laws he made a bird feeder, decorated a potted plant for me, made sand art, painted mugs and magnets, and he created a bunch of board games. So we have been hanging, planting, displaying, and playing all morning. It’s cooler today but still muggy. I’m hoping to get outside and maybe find a cool place to walk. The only problem is the whole state it likely thinking the same so finding a place that isn’t packed may be an issue. Today’s also my last day of vacation eating so we will probably get something good for takeout tonight. I’m thinking Outback. Tomorrow I plan to sign up for that workout program tgrimes shared and start eating like I would when I go to the office- normal lunch vs things like Mac and cheese and one snack vs many. Often in the office I would forget to eat my snack. Now I’m like “has it been a sufficient amount of time since lunch to eat ice cream”.

wedding Yay! We can hold each other accountable for workouts! I only did my ab workout yesterday because I was slightly hungover from my girls night. But at least I did something.

I’m trying to determine if H has croup. I heard him cough only 3 times yesterday and it was definitely barky. So far today I’ve heard him cough twice. He’s night really Snotty anymore his ears look fine. His highest temp has been 99.2 though and I thought you usually get a fever with croup. At least he did the last time he had it. He sounds kind of hoarse though. I messaged the pedi but I doubt I’ll hear back from her today.

I had a dream last night that I already had three cats (Eevee and two tabby kittens, no Marty) and I agreed to adopt 6 more from the shelter. It was over $1000 in adoption fees and dh knew nothing until I came home with them. I pretended they were fosters and hoped he would just fall in love. It was very crowded in my house. I specifically remember the cats from the dream in great detail. Only klong11 will likely care to hear the details! One was a big orange and white 6yo female named Ms. Muffins. She was very sweet but Eevee was not pleased with her presence. Then there was a gray tabby 4 mo old kitten that wasn’t as cute as his litter mates so I knew he would be left behind. I also adopted one litter mate that looked like a rag doll because I knew dh would love it and I could leverage love for the others from there. The three others were cats that just didn’t stand out against the rest in the shelter and had been sitting a long time. One was a standoffish thin dark gray boy, about 1yo, who didn’t present well in a cage but was a sweet heart once you opened the door. Then there was the classic bitchy calico. A dark colored one who would entice you to her cage only to swat at you but was great once she knew you were ok. I do love a good bitchy cat! Lastly was a black and white short hair boy who was just so average but perfect and had a wise ness about him. We also had a bulldog in the dream so it was a super full house. When I got the cats home dh was pretty ok with it because he was just told he needed to travel for a month to California for work so he didn’t need to be there for the transitional period. C wasn’t in the dream. I think I was younger and didn’t have kids. I don’t know what this dream means. I wonder if it’s some guilt about leaving behind homeless animals or simply my need for additional comfort right now. It would be nice to be covered by animals. If only they would keep their shedding to themselves!

I would worry about Covid though with any cough right now though. Is testing readily available?

I’ll do it after he’s finished eating.

I signed up and watched a few videos while sitting on the couch lol. I think I'll like it. I ordered this MLM scheme "skinny coffee" which helps burn fat, boost energy and help you focus. And you're not supposed to drink any other caffeine with it. So no coke.... I'm reigning I'm reigning in my eating too and need to get back to exercising.

I just had to cut this foam slime shit out of Dicken's paws. It came with these Lost Kitties I had gotten Cadence. I told her to throw that part of the toy away. Clearly she didn't and he found it. Fun fun!

Ok, Camp Grandma just found some orphan bunnies. She's going to try and care for them. I'm not coming home with bunnies at the end of this week. I'm NOT coming home with bunnies at the end of this week! I also really hope they don't die. 🤦

Hey. Lazy day at home here. H has finally mastered riding her bike all by herself so she has been outside riding it most of the day. DH cut the cords off of our guitar hero guitars so S has been running around “playing the guitar” and singing. All sorts of fun. Happy birthday wineallthetime! tgrimes when my kids had croup I was told that as long as it was mild they didn’t need to treat it. So hopefully if that is what H has it stays mild.

Hi!
I have been cleaning and organizing a bit. Went out to Costco and the grocery store, also. I hate when I have weekends that are nothing but housework and errands.
We also found a leak under the sink. MH sent a text to the contractor, so just waiting for him to get back to us.

Busy weekend.. mh was pleased with his 40th yesterday and I'm exhausted trying to orchestrate it. Not that I did that much😂. We got takeout and picked up a cake. And I let him sleep in and we had decorations and muffins and gift out when he woke up.
Today I worked on clearing off a few landing zones for crap and I'm quite proud of my progress. Also scored 2 adorable pairs of PJs from Hanna Andersson and a brand new set of unders from my buy nothing group for N. Otherwise about time for my mom/sis FaceTime and have a paper to write before midnight, boo.

We did a quick one night trip to the beach because I wanted to be out of there before the storm comes through this week. It’s super hot and the water was rough so not great for the kids. Now I’m drinking wine in my yard. The hot tub won’t be here until January unless I’m willing to take a mystery color in September but we decided to wait to get exactly what we want.
