Another One of Those Weekends
Woman in the Middle | October 10, 2016Like has been the pattern all summer, the weather was pretty nice this past week, even cool at night, and then it warmed up for the weekend. If I wanted to frolic in the pool, that would be fine. But, instead, I needed to walk neighborhoods, knock on doors, and tell complete strangers why they should vote for me for the parks board. Not fun with sweat pouring down my face. Not fun for the people I was talking to, either! Yuck!
We had a little earthquake on Saturday. It was a 2.8 located several miles away. If you haven’t lived in earthquake country, the funny thing is you can hear them coming. It sounds like a far off rumble that gets closer and closer and then shake shake shake! Hubby was outside and didn’t notice it. But the girls and I were in the house and we heard the quake coming it, as did the cats. Honey slept thought it, f course. These days she could sleep though a bomb explosion.
In addition to the walking and the normal house cleaning that seems to happen on weekends, Hubby and I spent a little time out in the garage, otherwise known as the storage space. I am truly tired of it being so full of junk. A little progress was made there. I took two loads of things to thrift stores last week – loads being a backseat full. I don’t want you all to think I took two truck loads out and still have stuff to deal with! What is amazing to the both of us is we are still opening boxes that came from Mom in Law’s house and being amazed by what is inside. We filled that box and brought it home with us and then promptly forgot about it, I guess.
I am looking forward to a cooler week. Tuesday night is a candidate meet and greet. Candidates for all offices will be there, so a lowly park board candidate probably will not get much notice. But I will be there with bells on, signs and flyers telling people how great I am at the ready. Did I ever mention that telling people about wonderful me is not really my cup of tea? Just another way politics is so weird.
Hope you have a wonderful week!
I had one of those weekends myself the type I wish I could forget about
Good luck!
