Had a great day today!
Slept (at intervals), always surprised that the last morning shut-eye turns into an hour and a half!
Woke to the sound of a lawn trimmer. I got up, and noticed that the lawn guy was here. Good. Get that job out of the way...
I ended up doing 4 loads of laundry, utilizing the solar dryer (love the smell of sun-dried fabric). I cooked 6 pounds of pasta for a fund raiser for one of my co-workers. My schedule conflicted with the Spaghetti Dinner that's being held, so I offered to do some food prep. I'll be able to help a little with the set-up Sunday morning before I go out of town.
Frank came over for a few minutes before work.
My chores are done and I'm ready for work again in the morning.
My ankle is a little sore today, probably from Leah doing what she does. A couple of other areas are a little sore, too. I tell you, it was a much needed massage.
Thank you for reading. Hugs.

Worked my mandatory extra hours today, 0630-12 noon. Visited for a few minutes with one of the girls who had come in to visit; she seems to be doing as well as can be expected and hopes to be able to come back to work in a week or so.
Stopped at home, changed clothes, regrouped, went to Leah's for a much needed massage. Geesh, I was a mess! She worked my ankle, too, and thought it was doing well. It's sore tonight from being bothered.
Back to the hospital for a meeting. Productive, went over by a half hour. I was getting hungry...
Fixed supper and ate, and am having a hard time keeping my eyes open.
Sure hope they stay shut during the night.
Tomorrow I'm doing food prep for a fund raiser.

Ugh. Back to work.
Busy. Stepped right back into the team and carried on. Sure didn't seem like I'd been gone the last couple of weeks. And, I'll say that after a few hours, I'm tired of hearing the call lights.
I was able to do what I do best--facilitate the mom and baby to be a "nursing couplet". So cool when mom, dad, and baby get the whole process.
Stopped for a few groceries on the way home.
I'm really tired tonight.
Didn't wear any wrap on my ankle today, and only took one tylenol this afternoon! I'm amazed, and extremely happy to find that it is getting better!
May have to work in the morning. A phone call when the alarm comes on will be when I know. It's only part of a day, and I have a massage in the afternoon, with a meeting to follow.

Woke to another windy morning, temp maybe 60?? And overcast. Certainly not conducive to boating.
Which was kind of a good thing.
I got packed up to leave, had breakfast, and cleaned up/packed up the kitchen things I had brought. Then I went over to the cottage.
I offered to take who ever might want to go out for a ride--tube or boat, whichever. No takers.
T & KS stopped over. We visited a short bit and they left.
I finished up the trailer, loaded the van, and was able to leave a little after 1.
I stopped at the Care Home to see U. Carl. He was much better today. He laughed and joked at me a little, and then he decided it was time for his afternoon nap. That worked well. I took him back to his room and waited for "the girls" to come and tend to him. I thought it was a good visit.
An uneventful ride home, thank you God, and I arrived about 5:30.
Unloaded, mostly unpacked. Fixed something to eat, cleaned the kitchen, enjoyed a shower, and got turned around to go to work in the morning.
I guess that means that vacation is officially over.
*sigh*
But it was a good one.
Thanks again to all who shared it with me.

Another great day today!!!
The morning half of the day I got the back end of the trailer cleaned, as tomorrow is my last day here. *sad face*
I checked the weather radar, and it showed thunderstorms heading our way; I guessed we had about 2 hours to play on the water.
And we did.
Cari and Heaven rode the tube, then Heaven went by herself. Jacob rode the tube, then took a ride on the skis. The water was a lot more choppy today with the wind, and other boats were out, too. Jim had a good sail, and we all came in when the skies were darkening with rumbles of thunder in the distance.
I covered the boat, it rained a little while later, and has been raining since.
T & KS and I went to supper; the folks at the GC enjoyed a fish fry with fresh caught lake fish.
Chelsea and Lexi arrived about 10 pm.
Tomorrow I'll finish packing and cleaning, enjoy the boat for a couple hours, and I have to leave. I've had a great couple weeks here. Thanks to all who have shared this time with me.
