I got to the job site around eight this morning and started installing the vents for insulation on the rafters. Mid-morning the insulation itself was delivered. I worked until a bit after five, then returned to the cottage. My dad was there and we ate dinner and chatted for a while. I have been reading a book on my phone since then.
I was slow to get going this morning and arrived at the job site just before eight. The plumbers came a bit later and they were really productive today. I made several trips to get them supplies and did a bit of work myself. I was overall in a better mood than I have been. This evening I will try to read a bit and maybe do some journaling.
This morning after a pancake breakfast we drove to the mechanic’s where I picked up the landscape truck and drove it back home. I had to add gas to it, and it took a while to get started, but the drive home was uneventful although a little nerve wracking. We then all went to the park at Port Royal, where Luke rode his tricycle and then played on the playground. Next we went to Kroger for a few things. Actually only I went in and the others stayed in the car. This afternoon we went to Yanahli Park. Luke rode his tricycle a bit and I carried it for a while. Everybody had a nice time though, and the weather was lovely. Back at the house I read to Luke and then left for the Mountain. The drive was pleasant enough. Now I am relaxing and hoping to go to bed soon.
Last night’s thunderstorms brought an end to the heat. This morning my parents came down and met us at the farmers market, after which we went to Cars and Coffee in downtown Columbia. Luke really enjoyed seeing them. We all came back to our house and played and read a bit. Luke gave my parents some pears and squash when they left. I lay down for a bit during the middle of the day and Luke had a little quiet time. After that we went to a pumpkin patch in Chapel Hill. We actually didn’t get a pumpkin, but Luke did do a bunch of fun activities and pet some cool animals. We had to leave a little earlier than ideal since it was getting close to dinner time. Luke was extremely tired so he went to bed almost immediately after bath. I went to Kroger for a bunch of stuff and will hopefully go to bed soon.
I got to the job site at eight this morning. The plumbers were there but not really working. I worked until about 1:15 with a couple of trips to the lumberyard and Ace Hardware. Back at the cottage I showered then hit the road. I drove to the mechanic’s in Columbia and paid for the work done to the landscaping truck. I will try to drive it home tomorrow. Back at the house I played with Luke until dinner. Liz is putting him to bed now.
