all two weeks of it! Yes, summer semester is over as of tonight’s Biology final (whoo!) and yes, it nearly ran right into fall semester. However, I plan to squeeze plenty of relaxation & pool time into the few days I have. Best of all, I am taking a week off work to enjoy my time to the fullest. A few things on my list: organize the house a bit, frequent bike rides with the hubby, poolside sunbathing, catch a Pinetoppers game, hopefully a Blue Indian variety show Downtown, read books on my Kindle & enjoy some of the cool finds from our trip to Atlanta Book Exchange last weekend, lounge at Lake Sinclair, and more. But not too much more, because I want to have whole non-committed, plan-free days. Bliss.
The summer heat has been brutal, and we had another close call with our AC. Thanks (again, second time this summer, sigh) to Bucky Holland, we are back in the business of staying cool indoors. Apparently we have some sort of major part to replace soon, but for now we are comfy & happy. Seems like our house is in a funky mood lately, making us chase after various repair needs. There is a major overhaul in our future as far as the rotting porches go, thanks to the short-cutting, cheap, DIY previous owners who failed to use pressure-treated lumber. Scumbags. But our plan is to replace the porches and make them even better with an extension off the kitchen, to make our screened-porch much more usable. So it goes, living in a 100+ year old home. We still love it here, and have recently added to our antiques furniture collection after yesterday’s visit to Payne City. We have our eye on another piece already, and just may bring it home in the next few days. Pictures to follow.
Oh yeah…another idea for my week off? Blog more! Stay tuned… : – )
