It was a fun, but exhausting weekend. Entertaining and being "on" for several days in a row always wears me out. Add in staying up way past my bedtime two nights in a row. haha. All four of us (me, dh, dog, and cat) took a nap yesterday afternoon. I was still so tired I went to bed at 8:30. The cat was very happy to have his house back to himself.
It was nice, though, that they stuck around yesterday until almost 1pm. Breakfast was more casual. I just ended up making egg sandwiches on english muffins for everyone and they sat at the breakfast bar. The breakfast bar gets used a lot more when I have guests and I do like being able to be in the kitchen taking care of cooking and cleaning up while, still being able to visit. Since we had breakfast a little later morning, they didn't want lunch before they left, they had plans to stop at get lunch some place on the way home. DD also brushed our dog before they left, which was nice.
For dinner I had some bread to use up, so I made french toast and heated up some link sausage to go with it.
This morning dd messaged me a funny, she got a message from their friend that came on the visit with them and he said to apologize to your mom. He meant to put his towel in the laundry room, but forgot and wasn't sure where he left it. I told her I had found it in the bedroom, laid over the metal part of the bed's foot board frame. LOL. I told her tease him that I couldn't find it and am like "what? did he steal our guest towel?!" haha.
So, that show "Severance" I had watched on Apple tv, there are more episodes coming after the 5 I watched. I didn't realize it was in the middle of the season and they are releasing one per week, so I got to watch the next episode last night. That was good news - haha. I was like that's how it ends with only 5 episodes?
My mom was a bit "off" when I called her yesterday right after the kids left. She said her back had been bothering her a little the past couple/few days and she couldn't figure out why and then she realized that her chair was missing. I'm like...ummm.. what? you have a recliner and the little loveseat, right? (I was just there last Monday, LOL). and she said yes, but it's not the same recliner. Someone took hers and left this one, so that must be why her back is hurting. Oh dear. I think I got her convinced it was her same chair (I described it), but strange, nonetheless. Sometimes it's hard to know what to say! Back when she had her own house, she had 2 recliners. The one she has now (leather type) and the other one was fabric. I don't know if she's remembering that chair or what.
I know what you mean having to be "on". Even with family it can be exhausting.
ReplyDeleteYour mom's recliner story is interesting.
Are you going for a drive today? :)
I don't think I'm going anywhere today, but tomorrow or Wed I do need to go get milk and a couple things at the town grocery store. Wednesday is supposed to be sunny and 65 - looks like a good day for a drive :)
DeleteStealing cell phones and recliners? Oh my! I wonder why her back hurts? Is she describing a kidney problem?
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how kitty must have felt. Like you, she has her house back.
Enjoy your first solo drive.
I'm wondering about her back too. She didn't mention it today. She does do a light exercise class most days, maybe just over did it there? She kept trying to say that "something else was taken awhile back too, but I can't remember what it was".
DeleteI too understand "on" when you don't get to see people often. It's like not wanting to miss out on time with them, but being off a regular routine. I'm like that for my son and now short school breaks for the youngest. No doubt they'll need a stop and walk around with such a long trip. I bet your mom has an old chair in her head.
ReplyDeleteExactly - I don't want to go to bed normal time and miss out on visiting time, since they were only here a short visit. Plus, I for sure wouldn't use any of that time to take a nap, haha!
DeleteI think it's cute that your daughter's friend was bothered by the fact that he hadn't put his towel in the wash - shows he was well raised!
