There was a middle school dance at school last night. I’m thankful for a mom who did the work of organizing the kids on the student council. They got decorations up and food planned and music assembled.
It went really well. I was the bouncer and sat outside most of the time. It was easier on my ears, since the music was loud. It was lighter inside than the picture makes it look. The kids danced a lot, and had lots of fun.
This is the hole in the wall by my kitchen window that the old dish tv cable used to go in:
These are some of the honey bees that went through that hole to build a hive and now live inside the walls of my house:
I have a regular pest-control service, and yesterday the service person texted me to say that there was a hole in the wall of my house that bees were going in and out of. “Honey bees?” I asked. “Yes,” she responded. Darn.
In one sense, I guess I’m glad it’s honey bees, because they’re nice, so I don’t have to worry about them attacking me. In another sense, I’m not glad it’s honey bees, because I don’t want to kill them, so I’ll be paying a company to remove them carefully and take them away alive for relocation.
I have no idea how long they’ve been there, but it seems like they can’t have been there long, because they’re right by the trash cans, so I should have seen them. Hopefully the hive isn’t that big yet, so the removal company won’t have to tear such a big hole in my wall.
Since I had the day off on Friday, and yesterday was already off, it was like I had two weekend days in a row. It was so delightful! I’m usually packing all my rest into Saturday, and then on Sunday I’m trying to grade papers and plan, leaving me with only one day of weekend. This time, I had a day of rest, and then a day of doing stuff. Yay!
I got the oil changed in my truck. I’ve been trying to do it for quite some time now. . I’m so happy! It’s been such a weight on my mind.
And then when I got home, I mowed my lawn. Wow! I didn’t think I’d ever get that done. Whenever I had free time, it would rain. My electric mower would not do so well with wet grass. But yesterday was beautiful, so I could finally tame the jungle that was my front lawn.
In the evening, I did some other gardening. I’ll post about that tomorrow probably, because today is my usual Sunday of Sadness.
But I was so dang productive! I should do two Saturdays every week!
Yesterday was a Day of Rest. It was wonderful. I slept late, then went out to the couch and hung out with Bruno. The only productive thing I did was some unpacking and some laundry. It was great.
