workaholic homebodies
“This is like..you’re almost glad to be handicapped.”

time 9:46 pm feeling achy but accomplished wearing grey hoodie (“I weep in my grey hoody.” -Meis, 2006) music Beatles, The National, & POP ready for HEAT next food and bed
I’m sitting on the couch with one ice pack strapped to my knee and another tied to my hip. Feels like good ol’ gymnastics days, except I’m not clear on what exactly caused this pain. Right leg you fail me. Alas. Our internet seems to be out so I’m trapped icing, writing a static update and watching Seinfeld at Jeff’s choosing. Funny how I’ve seen like eight episodes total, yet I seem to always see one I’ve already viewed. Hm.
This is the second Memorial Day weekend in a row that we’ve spent being basically homebody workaholics. (Two years ago I was in Cali attending Mason’s baptism as his godmother, three I don’t remember, four we were at Katie and Bill’s wedding. Anyway!) Yesterday was crazy yard work/planting/gardening/car-cleaning/laundry, today was major kitchen reorganization in preparation for the dishwasher install/loss of cabinet (me) and finishing up the yard work (Jeff). Before that I got in some crafting and a fine swim. We also hit up Sue’s for a little appetizer hang-out with Erik and Kels. But anyway. Back to the productivity. It was AWESOME! We got soooooooo much done, Jeff is an amazing yard fiend, and I put together our new kitchen puzzle most wonderfully. LOVE!!
We just can’t help it. Sometimes we’re workaholics.
We also went to Fort Snelling cemetery to visit Jeff’s Grandpa’s grave. RIP. Thank you soldiers.
Tomorrow is supposed to be HOT which I will love. Hoping for less work and more baking, bike-riding, and chilling out. I’m so ready for summer, busy as it already seems.
Other random thoughts:
-20s your days are numbered. BE ON NOTICE. I think this is a good thing.
-iPad just tried to autocorrect ‘thing’ to ‘thugging’. ??
-Sadly there is NOT an app for everything. Dang.
-in the mood for having a party! soon?
-Tornadomania! WTF.
-Almost June. Also WTF.
Since I am an adult I believe I will now have cookies for dinner. PIEOW! Happy Memorial Day, all.
