    A fairly good day I suppose.
    I finished laying the kitchen floor, made a couple of trips to the hardware store, washed the truck, washed the dogs beds, vacuumed the floors and even got in 2 half hour workout sessions in our home gym.

    hmmm........maybe I’ll wash the bed sheets and comforter. Dunno, I still have 6 hours before I think about bed.
    Oh yeah, I could go back to my shop and finish laminating 63 chair backs for a restaurant or mow the lawn or......

    Yep, that kind of a day....Tomorrow I get to cut tree limbs and stuff.........

    Oh yes, did that Yvonne.. but it's just dead...completely dead.!! Hubs got home and tried a few techi things but it's not even attempting to open or start or charge or anything at all.. .. he can't even get in to it to wipe it before sending it off to be repaired, which is annoying, so he's just removed the Sim Card and put it into my old Iphone, which thankfully I hadn't sold yet... so at least now I have a phone..

    Exactly five miles. Same county, different city.

    Well, I made four trips over there today, along with steaming the carpets. I started making trips yesterday right after the closing. There are about a million small boxes scattered throughout the house, wherever there aren't damp carpets. The movers are only moving the big stuff for us. We rented the truck ourselves and they're providing the brawn. I only have to pay them by the hour, 2-hour minimum and then 15-minute increments after that. They're bringing the dollies, packing blankets and straps. Can't beat that!

    The sellers are just moving across the street, so if we have any questions, they're there to ask. Really nice people.

    Ever so much more pleasant than the last time I bought a house. The elderly widow lady we bought the house from didn't really want to sell the house so she made every step as unpleasant as possible. At closing, she sat with her back turned to us and would only turn around to sign papers. As she left, she said "I hope you never have a happy day in that house!" and spat on the floor in our direction.

    That world traveler, Yvonne Smith is finally coming home. Haven’t had a Pit yet unless one counts the fact that it turned cold again.
    Still, the knowledge that my wife will make it home sometime this afternoon does indeed give me a warm feeling.

    Oh it was fully charged... we spoke directly to the repair people at Apple after my husband tried several ways to get it started, and they were really helpful. They're sending out an envelope for me to send the phone to them... and in the meantime I'm using my old Iphone...

    The pit of my weekend: my eye was itching so bad that I rubbed it until it puffed up, started tearing like crazy too. My thought was pink eye because it was not white any more then I thought allergy because I went outside earlier. Purchased Claritin and Visine for allergies it did help some but persisted. Then I Googled. Pink eye and allergies had pretty much the same symptoms, go figure. I'd have to go to the doctor to determine whether its bacterial or viral, huh? No urgent cares open on Sunday so back to the drugstore. I spoke with the pharmacist about something over the counter for pink eye. 'Oh you should go to the doctor because pink eye is bacterial.' That's not what I asked I thought. 'I just want something for relief.' It wasn't as effective as I hoped, like instant relief, ta da! After awhile the itching subsided and the tearing reduced to a tiny pool in the corner of my eye instead of streams flowing down the right side of my face.

    The peak was I found these neat sunglass clipons with a spring that stretches over your eyeglasses. Made by Gentle Grip, Solar Shield - polarized and scratch resistant lenses. I just grabbed them without looking at the cost, didn't care.

    I am home, and I am exhausted. I took a nap yesterday as soon as I had unpacked and put my clothes in the washing machine.
    Then, I was still tired and went to bed early last night; so I imagine that it will take me a few days of recovery before I am back to my regular self.

    I had a great time, totally LOVED being in Hawaii, and I am sure that seeing Philadelphia would have been better if it were not just so terribly cold and I was not already tired for traveling so much. I only saw the parts of Philadelphia that were outside of the hotel window, and that was not much.
    After we left Hawaii, we went to Seattle and visited with family there, and then on out to Philadelphia for Robin to work for the week, and then we drove home.
    She was able to stop in Richmond, VA and meet one of the new relatives that we are discovering from Ancestry and 23 and Me research. His father and Robin’s dad are cousins, and he is almost identical in age with Robin, and it was fun for her to be able to meet up with one of her East Coast relatives that she had not known about before.
    Over all, the trip was just a great experience, and I am so happy that my daughter was able to take me along with her.

    Glad you enjoyed Hawaii, but sad you missed the important things in Philly.

    Perhaps when they send Robin up there for another work week, and the weather is better, I can go along and then take one of the tour busses while she is working.
    They are over $30, and the whole tour is only about 90 minutes, so that seems like a lot of money to spend for that short of a bus ride. They did have some interesting looking tours that were walking tours, also; but aside from the fact that it was freezing cold last week, I am not in good enough physical condition to manage most of the walking tours.

    The only Pit my day may have- is sending the only TV back today to get repaired. I use TV for everything, stream music, news, watch shows.
    So will boil down to reading, word find puzzles and computer streaming of music and shows. Oh well, there are worse things in the world.
