It was a full week back at work but really didn’t feel all that long, even after having just a two-day work week last time ’round. Definitely busy with lots to do but I think that’s what made the time seem to pass faster. Having a lot to do means you have to make sure you keep yourself organized so you don’t let anything slip your mind but it definitely makes days go faster. Ironically, it is the complete opposite from the days I worked in retail where you would be dealing with a rush of customers and think “Man, I bet that took care of a huge chunk of time” and instead only a few minutes had passed.
My sister and nephew came down for overnight on Saturday. Believe it or not, we all gathered around the TV to watch the Superstars Racing Xperience race from Slinger (Wi.) Speedway and my nephew was asking me a few questions about the race and the cars and drivers involved. Admittedly, other than my Dad and I, most of the family were nose-deep in their phones from much of the night but it was still nice to be able to employ my “expertise”.
My folks, who are always in the process of one home improvement project or another, have been working on enlarging our back porch. They are just about finished (just have to paint over some spots) but with the set up we have now it has been very nice to sit out in the evenings and read. I have found that, even if we have rain earlier in the day, the chairs will dry pretty rapidly. It’s a very relaxing way to spend an hour in the evenings.
