Sticking to a Plan

Taking a quick minute to jot a post before we leave for a little road trip. Today we are heading to Natchitoches, LA to see a few things, spend the night, and eat a lot of good food along the way. More about that upon the return!

Yesterday was incredibly successful. Greg and I made plans, and we did everything we set out to do!

We got up and hit the backyard. We bagged 16 or so bags of leaves and cleaned it up good! It was a really tough job, but I am very happy with what we were able to do. I would like to plant some stuff back there and maybe spread a little grass seed. I also have some plans to hang some lights and make it pretty. I am excited about what it possible, and I think we can get it all done without too much trouble. Getting that done yesterday was a big first step.

After I took a shower, I walked down to the nail salon and treated myself to a manicure. I felt I deserved it after all that work! Now my hands look pretty and not like I spent half the morning working in the yard.

Once I got back to the house, Greg and I headed to the coffee shop for about an hour and a half of grading. I was able to get through a little more than half a class. That isn't a lot, but that is about as much as I wanted to get done. I was so happy that we both did what we needed to do even after the day we had so far.

Last night I was able to put together a nice dinner, and then we sat down and watched an episode of Game of Thrones while we waited for our laundry to finish. Yesterday a cord we ordered came in, and it does what it is supposed to do! We can now watch the shows from out iPads on our TV. It seems small, but it is actually pretty cool.

Amy came over for her shot last night, and we walked her through what she is going to do for us with taking care of the pets. I am glad she is taking care of them, and I think she is going to stay and hang out with them and watch TV.

I just heard the shower shut off, so Greg will be ready shortly. I need to feed to pets and start packing up the car. I hope this trip is fun. I am really looking forward to taking a little road trip. It's been just long enough to have forgotten how boring they can be. Here we go!
