Today I...

Today I passed on going to Doug's aunt's house. For my out, I promised I'd do stuff around here instead. I'm of the mindset that I need to clean my own house, not someone else's. He left around 2pm. Not sure how long he plans on staying out there. Or what her needs are. Or what condition his attitude is going to be in when he gets back. 

Today I watered all the plants before 10am. I actually got out of bed early on a Saturday, put my flip flops on, went out to ascertain the temp, and watered. Felt so accomplished. Even before coffee. If it wasn't already 90 degrees out, at that time of the morning, I would have marched back in and gotten a cup and my phone to play my dumb games. But no. Couch. 

Today I made a really nice greek yogurt marinade for chicken. It isn't supposed to rain today, and as mentioned before it is indeed super hot. Doug will not be in the mood to grill, so I'll go out and do it. 

Today I ran the vacuum. Yinz know how much the vacuum is loathed in our household. We likes the clean rug. We hates the smell. We hates the noises. Read that in Gollum's voice from the Hobbit. That's Doug. 

Toffee is unbothered by the vacuum. I had to run it all around her, and then make her get up and move so I could finish. It's kind of nice to see she doesn't care about it. Brodie used to let me crash it into her, Toffee at least takes the hint and skedaddles. 

Today I found a bottle of sugar free ginger beer in the fridge when I was cleaning it out looking for anything that can/should be pitched (ie: Today I cleaned the fridge) and I made a Moscow Mule of sorts. I didn't have fresh lime, and I didn't feel like pulling out the copper cups, so I just got a pint glass, a fresh lemon and used 1/2 of it. And a ton of ice. Refreshing treat after vacuuming! 

Today I folded the laundry. So help me God. I folded the laundry. Well. 80% of the laundry.

Today I talked to my girl C about our old people woes. I folded the laundry while talking with her about Vegas, Barcelona, Plantar fasciitis, the weather, how we both hate the heat.

Today I talked to my mom. She called while I was making dinner and got caught up with things. The weather, news and info about all the people in the neighborhood and stuff. It was nice to catch up, I was going to give her a call anyway so I'm glad she beat me to it. 

Guess that's about it. Doug got home in time for me to make dinner, and I take it he had a good day at his Aunt's but did a lot of work. Part of me feels a little guilty that I didn't go with him and help, but. 

Today I did other things.
