Today's Accomplishments

Gary managed to repair the antique barrister bookshelves that had been minorly broken since we got them.

He had meetings with two different bosses today, and made suggestions about how to fix the problem of his team being so overloaded that they can't keep up with the workload. His suggestions were not met with scorn but were received.

Andrew started drivers ed. "Mom, there's a lot more to pay attention to when you're driving than I realized!" Yup.

How can I do 8 loads of laundry, make dinner, jog, stew a chicken to get a head start on tomorrow's dinner, do a little schoolwork with the kids, make granola and kombucha, chauffeur a kid to class, get a load of stuff from the old house, and still feel like I didn't accomplish anything? My brain says I got a lot done, but there's so much on that to-do list that's just not getting crossed off, day after day.

I knew there was a problem with water in the basement at the parsonage. But oh man! When I got there today, somebody from church had ripped out the carpet and baseboards in the basement, put up dehumidifiers and fans, and there were still puddles. They really need to gut the basement and replace a lot of studs.

Loads of wind today, and the empty above-ground pool didn't blow away. Yet. Here's hoping we can hang onto it a little longer. Tomorrow is supposed to be cooler, so hopefully the high winds will die down.
