Uber productive weekend


First of all, I saw an amazing lizard on the fence last night. He was a knight anole – a foot or so long and bright green with bright yellow markings on his face. We were inside and he sat there for a long time.

Hub has lost 18 pounds in just under a month and his fasting blood sugar was below the diabetic level yesterday. He’s doing great. We went to the gym yesterday and had a really good workout. We love our gym. It’s so convenient and has enough equipment that it’s not crowded at all – of course, we’ve generally gone in the morning. Tomorrow we’ll be going after work, but there should still be plenty of equipment.

This weekend was all about giving the house a deep cleaning, picking up, decluttering, and doing a bit of rearranging in the kitchen. The house feels much better but we still had a good amount of time to just relax. If it weren’t for Mothers Day, it would have been an excellent weekend.

Hub texted The boy last night and reminded him to call me. He was crying the whole time he talked to me. He’d had a really lousy day at his grandpa’s house. His uncle and grandpa get along about as well as fire and gasoline (they both want to do things their way on their terms) and he feels caught in the middle. Add the fact that the whole reason his uncle is there is to help out since his grandpa can’t do the stuff due to his cancer, and you have an all around tense situation. Luckily today was better.

I think The boy thought it would somehow magically be okay since he would be closer to Katy (ugh!), who doesn’t get out of school for another month. Le drama. Thank god I’m not 17 – I don’t think humans are able to survive that more than once.

It was a nice day, but not much of a Mother’s Day. In any case, things are coming together around the house.

Up next weekend: organizing craft stuff. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
