The kids are down to 7 days of school, they're done with their work for the week, and I don't expect them the be assigned much more. Should be a pretty quiet next week. I'll do a little work, but with students finishing up their assignments, there isn't much for me to do either. I know I said most of this yesterday, but I'm totally looking forward to summer and being done with home school.
I'm also desperately missing the sun and wishing it would come back out.
It's been 7 days since Connor's party and since we left the house. Everyone is healthy and no one has spiked a fever yet. That makes me feel pretty good that we didn't catch anything when we all got together, but we'll wait another week, just to make sure.
When that week is up, though, I have plans to get out of the house! Michael and the kids bought me another massage for Mother's Day!! And I got an email from Beau Monde saying they were opening up again soon, so I sent them an email and said, any day, any time, I want in! I figured being one of the first people into the spa after they've deep cleaned and reopened limits my exposure, plus, they have a shower in their locker room, so I figured I'd just bring a change of clothes and shower right there, then I won't have to come home and disinfect my car and take my decontamination shower at home. So yeah, long story short, I have a 60 minute massage followed by a 15 minute steam+scalp massage on Wednesday next week! Wednesday marks day 14 of our post-birthday quarantine, so I figure I should know by then if I'm sick. I am really looking forward to this massage! It's a stress reduction massage and I would say that in light of the way things have gone in the last few months, I need it. Of course I haven't been nearly as stressed as others, but the massage is going to be a welcomed relief and a nice, temporary trip outside of the home to focus on self care. I think the last week indoors because of rain has figuratively (and literally) dampened my spirits. I'm not nearly as positive when it's raining all day, every day.
Good news, though, my rain boots came in! So I can slosh through the yard to get out to my garden and check on things today! Yay!! What's funny is that as soon as Michael got my sprinklers installed in the other 3 beds, the rain came and we ended up turning the sprinklers around all of the yard off. So we haven't had a chance for the sprinklers to do their work. Maybe today while I'm out looking at things, I'll snap a few pictures so you can see how the sprinklers look, even if they aren't being utilized at the moment. Rain is free, so we'll take it. This reminds me of a woman from Valley Feed and Seed a month or so ago, when I was buying seeds and plants. She said hopefully we wouldn't get so much rain that everything floods again like it did last year. I told her I had raised beds, so the flooding didn't hurt my garden nearly as bad, because it just ended up running out the bottom (and sometimes sides). I'm glad again, for the raised beds.
Alright, I have a Zoom in an hour. I better get up and around. Have a good, rainy day!
