After three weeks of off-and-on away, it's lovely to sleep in your own bed, for a change. It's not always restful -- we've had a lot of hot nights. (And the burglar alarm down the hill at the local Michael's goes off at the slightest hint of road construction.) The other issue is allergies: they've hit with a vengeance since I got home. Something blooms this time of year that sets off a fountain of nasalness. Unfortunately, the only thing that beats it right now is Benadryl -- and that makes you sleepy as all getout.
Nonetheless.
The mail got sorted this morning, and dishes washed. Now it's on to filling a new bookshelf, so I can get rid of the piles of books in the hallway. I think I will also go back to an old habit that helped a lot: put away at least a dozen things. Every single day. (Maybe just do it for 10 minutes every day, or schedule it in.) Either way, my goal is to get the upstairs completely clean and tidied up by the end of the month....just before I head to Cheyenne to appraise!
We picked our first tomatoes last night, just in time for Oldest Daughter's 25th birthday supper. (Happy Birthday, Sweetheart! Love you!) They were firm and just a bit acid -- a nice addition to grilled shrimp, crab legs, asparagus -- and an artichoke with lemon/butter sauce.
The beans need weeding. Again. So does the front flower bed. Guess I'd better add them to the 'do it for a little bit each day' list. As long as I can lean over without a sneezing fit, that is.
