A productive morning, so far
Got up at 6:15AM due to mother nature, and just decided to get up and get going on things, well, not right away, sat at the computer while it booted up and had my first cup of coffee.
Within an hour, I was gathering up laundry and getting that going, then have breakfast and since then, have jackassed the laundry from the washer to dryer, ironed my suit pants, cleaned up a spot on the suit jacket and ironed my dress shirt. I also had a brief talk with my oldest sister, who called to be sure I knew to wear something red (I did) but hadn't decided on a tie, or bowtie (both red/blue) but after talking to her, I remembered I have a bright red polo style sweater that I could wear, and maybe ditch the suit jacket. Still mulling that over.
The laundry has been brought up and will put it away here shortly. I've also put away the clean dishes, and may wash what's dirty, not too many though thankfully and I still have to shower, dress and be out the door by 12:30 at the latest as we are to meet at the church by 1:30, and it takes me about an hour to get into town.
I decided NOT to try and hoof it to the store as I am out of milk and coffee filters, can get that tomorrow. I will be hanging out overnight with my best friend if possible, so I don't have to drive ALL THE WAY BACK home from Olympia. Last night's drive home when tired, in the ran, was NO fun, but I had no choice as I had things to do this morning.
Today is largely cloudy with occasional showers, the high around 57F, tonight overcast with rain showers at times, low 55F, and tomorrow, similar, but with the high being 61F.
However, next week, the temps drop to the upper 40's with pretty much the same type of weather as currently, though by next Friday, we get some sun, the high only reaching 47F.
Been listening to the radio all morning and my favorite station, and it's been playing some great tracks much of the time, right now it's Jukebox Hero from Foreigner.
Anyway, feels a bit surreal this morning though emotionally, I've been OK, so far, but who knows what will happen at the memorial service and beyond as we close out her house and deal with Mom's estate.
One sad thing is as much as I love Henry, I can't afford to keep him right now, not with my budget as it is, and needing help with the rent for the immediate future until we come up with a longer term fix/solution to it. So it looks like trying to find a good home for him, and he has a tendency to dribble when excited, but Don has been working on correcting that.
In the end, as much as long haired Dachshunds are beautiful, they are a maintenance headache due to their shedding.
Anyway, will be good when life finally returnes back to normal, or what will be the new normal for us now.
