The Loopy-O
CHEERY O
Good morning!
Is my brain any better today? I think so! However, that ain't sayin' much. :giggle4:
I had to check and double-check the day and date this morning. It feels like I am even more out of touch than usual. The crazy heat isn't helping since it seems hard to reconcile that we only officially started summer a couple of days ago. Not to mention, I was complaining that it was so cold just last week.

Since it was too hot to be outside, we did all of the camp training inside. I did some of it last year but since I am running the mini-camp, I legally have to go through all of it. That's fine, it is always good to reinforce rules and regs, especially since Camp is licensed differently than the field trips and HS programs.
At the end of the session, I walked down to one of the "renovated" cabins. It was used as a preschool classroom a few years ago but now it is empty. Lauren asked if I wanted to take it over, use it as an indoor area for my programs. It has one large room and a small foyer area, electricity and access to water outside. It needs a good cleaning (walked right into a spiderweb as soon as I opened the front door, ppppttthhhhh)
I have a couple of toy tables in my attic that I can bring, and will start scouting around for small rugs and stuff to sit on. I don't think I'll have it fully ready by the camp dates but for HS in the Fall-- it should be a nice area. *crossing fingers and toes*

When I got home, I spent time cuddling and loving on Mouse. She is sadly not doing well and Caitlyn is going to see if she can bring her to the vet this afternoon for euthanasia. :brokenheart:
She is beating herself up over every decision she made and has to make. I tell her that there are no right or wrong decisions, only ones that are "least sucky." I always wish this part would get easier but it doesn't, not when she loves her babies with all of her heart.

I am cleaning for my friend this morning-- or at least as much as I can do. She suggested I come another day but I don't have a free one this week. I'll do as much as I can, drink as much water as I can and see what I can accomplish.

Blergh. Not looking fwd to the day.

Love and hugs, my dear friends!
 
I am running way behind schedule, sorry for the brief personals today.
One of our boating friends used to say :"weather liars"
Right?? Imagine having a job you could be wrong at 75% of the time :rotfl:
You certainly have a diverse work schedule. Every day is different in a big way with so many different subjects.
One of the things I love about it, never gets boring.
Yes Mike is auto repair shop owner, demolition derby driver, and autocross driver among his other stuff. Like my grandfather he's a workaholic.
Kris/family will start packing as soon as they close but won't be in a hurry.

Oh, so sorry to hear about Mouse! Big hugs to you and Caitlyn! :hug4:
TY!!

The Girls Are Back In Town!
Ilene and I got back here at 5 on Saturday. I had to drop some Arby's sandwiches off to Mark on my way to stop for a gas fillup and on to Ilene's. So, I was home to stay around 6:30. AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! There's No Place Like Home after being away for the week!
We had a great time!
Welcome back! Sorry that IBS made it more difficult but other than that, sounds like it was wonderful! I am sure you got lots of photos to share.

Wow... woke up to COOL weather... only 66*F right now!!! Suppose to rain later on today, tomorrow, Wednesday and maybe Thursday. Have the house opened up and a cool breeze is blowing through it. Heaven!!! Today should be the last of the 90's for the next week or so. Hope all of you can keep cool some how during the bad heat wave hitting the US...
hehe! Lucky you!! It was 94* and *humid* yesterday, supposed to be hotter today.
Hope that everything got done yesterday that you needed to get done.

See!!! I knew it!! You were making me wait longer!!! Total torture! I was looking yesterday and thinking it had to be close to time and NO you made me wait :bawling::bawling::bawling: See what you do to me??!! Crying a river over here!!!
:giggle4::giggle4::giggle4:
:wardrobehide:
I knew you would be upset. Forgive me!:bowdown:

My attitude is still so/so but I'm working on it. Tired of being "down" both physically and mentally. Not depressed just tired of being the dumping grounds for friends issues. I think they all communicated with each other and wanted to see how much could I take before I snapped. Well, I didn't snap but I sure over flexed and had to put my foot down. I
Self-care has to come first. I don't always practice what I preach but I try to keep that in mind.
Tomorrow is a new day and my tude will be better. But I wont be here in the morning either as its VBS week and I have to take the teens tot help and then wait for them. Quiet time in my car with a book and my phone turned off.
Enjoy that time with your book!

AWW! I can understand how much Caitlyn is not wanting to take Mouse to the vet today! BIG HugS to her....and you!
WOW! The cabin Lauren is letting you take over sounds GREAT! I see some thrift shopping in the future for you!

Yes, I will be working on pages soon! I have to do it soon or my mind will forget it all, LOL!
 
Good Morning,
Here is what I saw yesterday .....
IMG_20250623_183418465~2.jpg

That was the reading on our deck at 6:30 P.M. Today is not looking much better!
Going to lunch with Mark in a few.
Yesterday I got the laundry caught up.
Today I have worked on "Fetch"ing all of the receipts from last week and turned them in for $10 Domino rewards.
I also worked on getting last week's pictures off my phone and onto the EHD so I can start working on pages. It will turn into a documentary, LOL! I kept a journal each day, so the journaling is quite extensive! I'll let you know when I've published it, LOL!
I want to take a look at the Week 4 AJ challenge and some of the other challenges, too. I've been away about 3 weeks this month and have not gotten much done in the way of CT work! Time to play catch-up!
OK, need to get dressed and ready to leave! I don't think Mark would want to be seen with me looking like I currently do! ;)
Have a great day and stay cool!
 
Morning, all. Been busy working on a few soon to be released things this morning.

DD#3 and son were able to take all but the kitchen chairs to a recycle place for me yesterday. Had to pay to get rid of them... but glad to have them gone from the garage.

The rain should be starting here soon.... cloudy and in the 70's. Over half the state is under a flood watch for the next few days.
 
Good Afternoon!!
Busy day. Got oil changed, new air filter, kid to and from VBS helping, groceries picked up, rain, sun, rain again. Now to tackle meal planning for the next 30 days. What's in the freezer? What needs to be bought? What am I? A magician? Nope a mom with a budget. Get ready for "pantry meals" to use up what we have LOL

Sounds like my East coast friends are getting HOT! @vickyday your temp photo looks horrid to me. That is my nightmare, triple digits. @faerywings hugs for Caitlyn and the choices she has to make. Its never easy. :heartpumppink:
