Wiped Out.....

Looking back on last week. I was rather wiped out  after weeks of preparation and a long few hours sleep before the airport trip. On Monday I was so tired, just didn’t try any heroics. Heidi was still recovering from her week long illness. Cough/fever just slept so much. Ron from his night shift/ drive to Spokane. Didn’t help me get back on track with all the house hold stuff, to spend Tuesday in town! Heidi has this neat O, or amazing aparatus in her mouth to rotate a tooth. Fill in Orthodontist came up with it as a solution. He was anxious to see how it has worked. Adjusted it and hope for more movement this fortnight. Lots of errands, shopping. AND SO HOT. TEXAS in the NW!
On the way home the van got vapor lock. So we had to sit for a ½ hour to let it cool off. Had forgoten to turn the AC off earlier. We were so tired and hungry. Ron and his sister came to get us, we transferred the groceries to her van, and Ron was able to drive our home thankfully my sister in law had made dinner at the folks so we ate with them. It is good to see Heidi’s appetite pick up again, she lost several pounds being sick. So by Wednesday was trying to regroup and get on with the laundry, dishes (in the sink from Sabbath- ha, rinsed of course) pick berries, process a few cherries, clean out the fridge! Where do I start. We’ll better go feed our pets and get something to eat.

It has been so hot in the evenings that we have enjoyed having some home made orange julius they are really good. My neices and nephew were thrilled.

Yes I some how finally got the dishes done that had been in the sink since Sabbath can you believe it. (Some people wonder if that happens at my house, well it's here for the record now- Ha!!)Wow just not used to one pair of hands around here!! Heidi was feeling some better but not really up to much until Friday.

Then of all things some how pulled some muscle in my hip! Can’t recall doing anything! (maybe from going to sleep on my knees and waking up with them ASLEEP.) Hurts to move my leg laterally for sure.

Friday was a very full day. Could hardly keep my perspective with all the trickle down from the week. Finally made it with most of the house clean, a dish for picnic Sabbath and the cherries, apricots done. The strawberries must wait in the fridge….with the artichokes!!!!

Nearly every evening we had gorgeous sunsets including Friday night welcoming the Sabbath with rain and lightning too.
