saturday travels ...

 I thought I was going to have a day of nothing, thinking is overrated ..

1.  #2 had a chiro appointment in Upper North at 10:15

2.  post chiro we drove to mineopa to see the bison -- the bison drive was a lot like 35W during friday afternoon rush hour --- and the bison were off in the distance

3.  cross country to Mankato hilltop to pickup take out Panera for lunch

4.  cross country to the cabin (via every blacktop road in Blue Earth and Hazzard County) 

5.  arrived at said cabin -- found 3" tree branch thru screen -- patched screen with a roll of duct tape and ate -- seriously love that screen porch  

6.  commute back to home via Lake Emily #1 was ripping corn ground

7.  Speedway for a tank of gas ( warning bells were dinging)

8.  home --- 75 miles later 

and somewhere in there was 4 loads of laundry ... a spot of vac'ing, cooking, eating and those pesky dishes 

I think next weekend will be dedicated to cabin closing -- or as much closing as we are going to do ... the grill needs to be stashed - I think the plan is to cut styrofoam panels for the screen porch, leaves need to be raked and burned -- windows washed -- gravel hauled in for the parking pads ... set up the camera's -- I think internet is coming this week ?

and Sunday was almost as wacky as Saturday ...

1.  Went to the office at 8:00am ... I had a list of projects and most of them got completed --- the back file room is now nice and tidy -- it tends to accumulated a lot of "stuff" -- 5 cases of copy paper, a box of batting ( a 40 yard roll of quilt batting), a broken chair (and it's not broken mate), unopened/un-ate girl scout cookies, cardboard for recycling .... it is all gone.  

2.  I actually worked on work too ... caught up on financial statements for all but two write up clients, 3 sets of quarterly payroll reports to go ( need info yet), started PPP forgiveness docs, workflow planning, ... 

we're trying our best to decide how the next seven months are going to function at the office -- if the COVID predictions are accurate and another wave is upon us -- we'll stay closed or have limited access to the facility -- it's not going to go well -- any way I look at it.  

3.  Made it to recycling with my cardboard -- and home with the broken chair and roll of batting (and a box of raspberries - yummy ) 

4.  proceeded to shop Old Navy's 50% off sale (more jeans that fit my ass) and fat calf boots from Maurices ...   just because I need more jeans that fit my ass and more boots .... the struggle is real.

5.  laundry -- 3 more loads of laundry ....
