TWTW - the one with the scheduled things

Friday night smelled like teen spirit. Just kidding, it smelled like scentsy because Amanda hosted a sniff & sip & slip. It was a nice night with the girls and Frank.

I was down in Ocean City checking out the scene on the beach and boards by 8:30 Saturday morning.

When I got to our house, I set about putting the efficiency mostly back to rights. MFD still needs to put my bike together and we still have shit to hang, but anything that was undone due to storm flooding is now re-done and it's pretty ready to open next weekend. I also spent a half hour looking for my phone to call a contractor and it was literally right in front of my face. Hashtag elderly brain. I cleaned up most of the trashcan area too, which involved touching soaking wet trash. FUN!

Comcast came to install cable and Internet, which took four hours because the old lines were shot and had to be replaced and a booster had to be put in to get wifi through all four stories. There's only one TV in the living room so I'm sure people will be streaming. The water is still turned off in the house so I may have had to pee in a DD iced coffee cup which I then had to dump outside, along with my dignity. Like a dumbass I didn't turn on the heat because I didn't expect to be there that long and froze my black soul to the core. However after four hours together in the cold like people stranded on Antarctica to die, my Comcast tech and I are BFF and he does home repair and licensed HVAC on the side so I'm glad to know him because we have needs for those things down there. Another contractor who fixed a leak before we made settlement that came back was also through on Saturday so ceilings are getting replaced this week fo' free since it wasn't made right the first time. And I went through the house making yet more lists of things that still need to get done and bought. I was heading home by 4:15 under some gorgeous skies. I got the hottest shower on record, ate a pizza, and was asleep by 10:30.

Sunday I hoped to be up and out by 9, but I actually woke up at 9. When I finally got to Marshalls armed with gift cards and a list a mile long, I found there were no carts. It was like playing Supermarket Sweep - shop, run stuff up to the register, pick up more stuff, run stuff up to the register - except nothing was free and I had no chance to win.

In the afternoon I headed up to the William Penn Inn brunch buffet to celebrate Pete's 80th with Carol's family. The food and company were great as always, even though I had to duck out of cake back at Dave & Sue's to get home for dog duty. MFD made it to the end of brunch but was basically working all over SE PA on Sunday so dog care fell to moi.

My niece Lola is behind the smiley hearts because she gives people smiley hearts

In dog town, Gus felt good to be king, Mae only wanted to be left alone to sleep under covers, and Geege was on patrol...so nothing new with the crew this weekend. No pooping incidents or food break incidents.

Weekly food prep: breakfast burritos made with italian sausage, egg, jalapeno cheddar cheese, and diced green chiles to freeze; power breakfast muffins to freeze; egg muffins with jalapeno cheddar and italian sausage for this week's breakfasts; baked chicken for dinners (will be served with sweet potato fries and steamed veggies). I'll be making poop soup for the dogs and corned beef soup for lunches this week tomorrow night after zumba.

Let it be known that I have washed all of my heavy duty winter coats so I don't want to wear them again, winter. Please respect my boundaries.

Book talk tomorrow!
