A week

So we have been in St. Paul a week as of this afternoon.  When I got out of bed this morning I saw my suitcase on the floor full of clothes yet.  BUT there have been some things that have been accomplished such as:

• The garden is in and has been watered at least twice a day
• The fence is around the garden
• Computer has been set up
• We have arranged for someone to look at a broken stove
• Three AC window units are in and bug proofed 
• The 4 kitchen screens are on
• Spent time with the Adkins at Faustina's soccer game.  It was fun and I had forgotten about soccer at that level.  I told Cynthia it was fun but I would not want to go back to the summer of 1987 when between Cynthia, Aaron, Travis and John we took in 100+ games!  As my mother would have said, "ufta".  Not sure I spelled that correctly but the spirit of Mom is there.
• The lawn has been mowed
• Eleven windows have been washed
• We have made our trip to Costco to get things needed
• A tiny bit has been done on the 2nd floor bath
• a screen has been purchased for the back wood shop door as I need air to flow through without birds flying into the garage
• Have made a trip to the compost as our garbage does not take yard waste any longer
• Have made trips to the bank
• Some more has been done but I can't think

As I look at that list it is maybe two days worth and here it is a week but what the heck I am retired and sometimes I am tired.

When I washed the windows upstairs and in the living room I gave thanks for the window inserts that were put in a couple of years ago.  No storms or screens, no climbing the ladder to the second floor and that is such a blessing.  Then I did the kitchen windows today and they are still the old ones.  Not as old as the other windows in the house were but still they have wooden storms and screens and they do not open and close all that great.  Maybe in the future they can be replaced too.  

Well perhaps I need to get serious and unpack this afternoon.  Terry was finished a long time ago so time to stop excuses and do it!  I do need to get a couple of bikes ready as I have not done that.  Little or no exercise is not a good thing for my body.  In that regard I miss tennis.

Of course the FP was history as of 4 hours ago.
