Friday I finished work early and headed to my errands. Got the plates for the Rav 4 taken care of...I need the title with me next year to switch it fully to my name. I guess I missed doing that last year? dunno. I hit the meat locker but they only take cash or check so I had to hit the bank for cash. Got hamburgers, bacon, and sirloins. nom. I then headed to baumgars and got a few things (shop vac etc). I then hit Sunshine for a few small things and got home the long way past the state park and past Trinity Church. It was nice to drive and come home and relax. We had left overs and just relaxed. I sat and did the plying on the two bobbins I had from Summer spinning. I also got a pasta salad made and put into the fridge to get teh flavors balanced. 1 box of salad rings, cooked, drained and oiled; one can of corn drained; one can of rotel tomatoes drained, couple of spoons of relish and mayo; cumin, salt, pepper, garlic and cayenne. Mix and cover in fridge overnight. Damn tasty.
Allie and Aaron got in too late for hanging on Friday but we had plan for Saturday and Sunday. Shanda and her mom were enroute but they take a 3-4 day haul to make it to the northwoods.
Saturday I got up after sleeping in (glorious) and then got dressed and made bacon, got items out for pie which was hilarious...we thought we had rhubarb...it was radishes. So I made mulberry/cherry from the frozen from last year and some fresh picked this year. Allie and family arrived and Keran and Benton played while the adults hung out. Allie and Mel got her wheel up and going while I plyed the singles that were left over from my plying. Then we were all getting hungry so I started in on grilling the corn, then the brats/burgers. We had a good feast and the extra hands were nice. It was so nice to sit and chat and craft.
Shanda and her mom arrived just as allie and Aaron were heading out to head to their hotel and then we had Shanda and Leigh time till late. And then I had trouble sleeping and I was hurting which was a precursor to issues on monday sighs. Anyhoo. Sunday we got up and Mel was making waffles. Pistachio sourdough waffles don't even need butter or syrup but were very tasty with that too. We got everyone fed and sent off before we had to pack up for practice and errands in town. I dropped the boys at practice and then hit coffee from Caribou, ulta, Joanns and then Costco. Sat at practice for a bit before we packed up. It had started to drizzle. Got mel changed into clean modern clothes and then headed to the brick and mortar Duluth Trading Company. We hit the sales and He got 3 new pairs of pants. I got 2 pairs of shorts, a tank top, a pair of overalls and two pairs of socks. Then we trundled to Ramen Fuji for dinner. They are awesome and local and different than the ramen we get in AZ. We drove home and then I kinda crashed early after reading on my phone while spicy curled up next to my legs. This was not a good position for me...I didn't move and that cause my back to seize up on monday. Sighs.
I worked about a half day yesterday before taking some big meds to hit the back seizures. ugh. I was only going to lay down for an hour and then was out for like 5. I got up and started doing more stretches and walking. We had a nice dinner after Mel and Benton did some weeding. I read and made sure to keep things moving. After dinner we had Gretchen and Chris drop by to walk the property lines to make sure we were all good. Which we were. It was nice to have that reassurance. After that I ran myself a bath after Benton got his shower. That was nice but the cats were so confused. I watched a YT video by Bernadette B and relaxed and shaved and let my back and legs just soak up the heat, took more meds and relaxed into bed and was out by 1045 I think. I woke up this morning and made sure the do in bed shifts to stretch hips etc. I'm making sure I get up and walk a lot today and stretch more. I have not taken pain meds yet but will about mid day. i will definitely need to be less sedentary coming up cause obviously this is not helping.
I'm 36% finished with Dreadful Company. The plot is multifaceted and that is interesting. I'm interested in where its heading.
