Tuesday - A new school year started today. Although I am a retired teacher, I still have a first day of school tradition that I do each year. I am usually up at 6am every morning (why I don't know). So at 6:15am I am sitting with my coffee enjoying the quiet. On the first day of school each year, I sit with my coffee in my pajamas and watch the school bus go up and down the road and raise my coffee cup with a smile, knowing I do not have to dress to rush out the door to school.
B and I went out to look for a new washer. The appliance store was having a Labor day sale. We were able to get a new washer with a much larger drum (to wash blankets and comforters) at half price. It will be delivered and installed on the 8th. They will also take old one away.
Wednesday - My youngest son and dil came over. My dil gives our cat, Al, his monthly pedicure. I am too nervous to do it myself. I worry I will clip his nails too close and hurt him. Our son helped B move a large corner cupboard to basement. It takes up too much room in the guest room and we don't use it much anymore. We had a good visit with them telling us about their trip to see a concert for their 3rd anniversary and going to Hay Days in Minnesota this weekend.
Thursday - Since it will be next week for the new washer to be installed, we needed to go to the laundromat today. The laundry had piled up since the washer died last Sunday.
Friday - It was a typical cool, rainy Fall day in the UP and a good day to stay inside, read a book and cuddle with my kitty, Al. BBQ wings went in the crockpot for dinner.
Saturday - B and I decided to tackle the bathroom floor today now that the new toilet is installed. We were doing fine until we had to get around the vanity and toilet. Took many measurements, tries and retries. It's a good thing we had thought to get extra tiles what with all the mistakes we made. Finally, we stood at the door to the bathroom and surveryed our finished work. It looks so good especially since it has been almost 20 years since we did it the last time. B announced that this is the last time we are doing this. The kids can change it after we have gone to retirement heaven. He's so funny.
Sunday - Day of rest definitely! Pork chops in the crockpot for dinner, old b&w movies on the tv, coffee and cuddling with my cat, Al.
