Yesterday and Today

I guess I forgot to post yesterday...coulda sworn I did, but oh well! These things happen.

I love Saturdays that start with the "Great British Bake Off" and coffee. Doesn't matter that I've seen all the episodes/seasons (except the new holiday one, I have to catch that). It's also nice to wake up to a pot of coffee already made, thanks to His Lordship still getting up too early for words. ;)

The early part of the day was spent tidying up between watching PBS shows and wrapping a few last minute presents. At 3pm we had to start getting ready for "party day" as His Lordship called it. We had an open house and a dinner to attend. Both were fun and lovely. We got home at a reasonable hour too. Maybe someday I'll have a party here, but not this year.

His Lordship actually slept until 8:30 this morning! That is waay late for him! I've got my tablet all set up to watch the Vikings at 10 (it's not televised here because stupid west coast teams are stupid). I'll text with my fellow fan in Tucson and all will be well. I've got laundry started (I don't want to do it tomorrow - no). We have a few food type things to deliver this afternoon and it'll be a quiet day. The boyz have told me they'll be over tomorrow 'noonish'. We shall see!

And it's Festivus today! So air your grievances around the pole and a Happy Festivus to the Rest of Us!!!!

Today I...

...adulted. But first; yesterday.

I did go to coffee with my new/old friend. We went to a 'new' coffee place that was not actually set up for customers to come in and drink a cuppa. Hmmm. But we did and they were very nice about the whole thing. We sat for about 2 hours, drank 2 cups each (I had "dirty" chai and was flying all day). She sprinkles her conversations with "...and the Lord told me..I asked the Lord to....I was worried and the Lord took my fear from me..." I smiled and nodded. Addictive personality indeed. Could be worse, could be crack. I don't think she approves of yoga. ;)

I was pretty done after that and came home and didn't. His Lordship came home and was so very tired, he napped. It was a quiet evening and we watched The Curse of Oak Island. Those people have more money than brains, but if it's still on once His Lordship is retired we are totally doing the drinking game!

Today I girded my loins and did the above mentioned adulting by driving across town to the bank (it was my mom's account). It was much easier than I anticipated and now that is done. I have one more account to deal with (paralegal) and then taxes. What will I complain about when that is over???? ;)

His Lordship and I did some yard work, raking up all the oak leaves on our property. We have no oak trees by the way. But they blow in from the school and the neighbors. There are times I'm tempted to throw them back but...no. One must have good neighbor karma, right? Ammirite?

Dinner is over and I'm not sure about the rest of the evening. We shall proceed.

Tea Tuesday

I'm meeting up with an old friend recently reconnected for coffee/tea at a new place here in town. I haven't actually seen her in years, but we were friends when our kids were small. It's going to be interesting. She was very involved in an MLM when I met her (Amway) and now they have, seemingly, renounced that and embraced and uber Christian lifestyle. I shall remain neutral!

I got 19+ dozen cookies made yesterday, the bulk of the laundry done (still need to do rugs and towels) and we went to dinner at friend's house. It was really a nice, albeit busy, day.

I may go to the bank after coffee, but we'll see how it goes.

Hope everyone is doing well!
