Good evening. Hot one here today and expected to get hotter for a couple of days.
Went to Lancaster yesterday with my mom and our priest's wife. It was a fun trip and mom really relaxed. She had friends from church visit dad and managed a 1/2 hour visit with him when we came home. I saw a lot of branches in the area from the storms we had go through and was really tempted to pick some up. Only problem was they were huge and I wasn't sure I could handle them, I did get a few things to decorate the basement with the sports theme. One of my grandson;s friends who has been helping with the renovations had a tree come down on his house and it did some extensive damage. I think it's liveable since he didn't say otherwise but he will need siding, carpeting and flooring replaced. The good thing is his insurance will cover it and Jay can do a lot of the repairs. Good thing we are nearing the end of this phase of work.
The basement is 95% done. We can start putting things in the shelves. One problem arose when we positioned everything. The one shelf won't fit on the wall I chose it for. I did find a wire shelving unit in my son's old room so I am thinking I can use that to put all his DVD's in that. My son's room is almost cleaned out. I worked in there all day and am paying the price as my back is throbbing but it was worth it. I found one photo album I knew I was missing and was beyond thrilled. it covered our 1st Christmas in the house and my daughter's birth and 1st year of life. I even have pictures of my SIL's baby shower and my oldest niece with my daughter. They are only 3 months apart in age. I will be at it again after church tomorrow but the room will be ready for renovations in the fall. I will tackle the other room after the party next saturday.
On a down note my husband's surgery for this Friday wasn't approved by our family dr. His platelet counts are too low so now we need to see a hematologist. I looked on line for an appointment with the one my daughter recommended and the earliest appointment is in September. I'll see what the foot dr. says when we see him this week. It will take some pressure off me for the BBQ so I guess that's a positive.
My Fitzy is getting neutered on Tuesday. He may hate me for a bit as he has to go in a carrier. Jim wants to take in a neighbor's cat because they let the poor thing out in the heat and rain. She is always at my door. Jim did talk to the neighbors and we haven't seen her all day so maybe they kept her in, I hope. I do put some food and water out for her as does another neighbor. She is a sweet cat so I hope she is OK.
Hope you all are having a good weekend and staying cool
