Yeah, we had a good afternoon. Her prezzie went over really well with her and she did some shopping before heading home.
One of these times we are going to have to set up an afternoon for her to come and see my place. She still hasn't and I've been here 3 years now.

Laundry day for me and yes it is Tuesday but like I said I couldn't get it done on Saturday because all machines were busy. Plus I had other things I had to get done.

Do you plan on making an event out of it? Like serving cake or cookies or something?? Or heading out to a place nearby?

Managing to accomplish a fair bit in between doctor visits. Got a new phone for dear daughter and sister bc 3G is going the way of the dodo bird. So when it comes in we will xfer all relevant info to daughter's new phone and get it activated. And, of course, factory-reset her old phone and destroy her old SIM card.
Today is create the menu for the week (last week was full of easy-to-make family favorites: ground turkey shepherd's pie, chicken and dumpling soup, burgers and chili con carne, pork steak with apples and celery) and this week I hope to come up with more easy-to-make one-pot tasty meals.
Today is the one day during this work week where I can do yardwork, so I intend to dig up more vegetable garden to put in a row of beets and a row of chives, garlic, and cilantro. I've already planted tomato, zucchini, basil, and parsley. The rest will have to wait until the weekend. And once I'm done prepping and planting I'll go back to chipping away at the front yard. I already see how I can start moving some dirt around, once I clear the weeds.

It will be fun. Don't know what we'll do yet. We could get something and bring it back to my place as I now have places for people to sit and a table to eat at. Though I will have to clear the kitchen table off some. *L* Still we shall see.

Got clouds rolling in. So I suppose a rain will be following.

Both.
I also got ALL project work out of my basement and most of my tools, including dusty horses I had set up down there for the kitchen cabinet work and trim work, along with all the plastic protecting the floor that has had the sawdust from all the sanding and just life happening on it for what seems like forever now. I did leave the stack of baseboard and trim that I have yet to use up high on a few old dresser drawers, but I wrapped them in old bed sheets and out of the way. You can hear my echos down there when I talk now. The only other things I have down there now are my 6 shelving units with my cordless tools I don't want to leave outside, all of my paint and caulk that can't stay in the garage, a small tool box and my free-after-rebate hauls that I haven't used or given away yet.
I was going to finish the work I started yesterday, but after spending a few hours out in the blistering heat with a new acquaintance and possible "business" partner (bartering for work), I decided that the 100 degree day with a real feel of 115 was the perfect day to lounge around and take a nap after 10 straight days of working until past 9PM every night. (I'm SOOOOOOOO glad I have that A/C now).
This guy has a bender and has 30+ years of experience with aluminum. He's going to be coming by in the next few weeks hopefully to finish off the new porch windows I did with my friend and his dad last fall and we're going to come up with a plan to finally fix my front porch overhang and get those pole jacks out of there. He's got a lot of work, mostly painting and landscaping that he needs done at his house, so we're hopefully going to be trading a good chunk of work together. Windows and aluminum are just his specialty, but he knows quite a bit of other stuff to. It will be nice too have somebody come and help me out first for once so I don't have to go chasing them all around for months (or years) to get it paid back.

Oh, cool with "trading work"!
Yanno SIX, it occurs to me, with your work experience and tools, you could be a paid handyman.
