Babysitting

Change of plans. GI canceled hubby's colonoscopy and rescheduled. What a bother. Fortunately, he hadn't started the prep.

Another all day babysitting my grandson. He's such a sweetheart and I had a great time yesterday, but it's a LONG day. Lots of carrying, sitting on the floor, chasing thrown balls, reading books on repeat, etc. And, at times, boring (while he naps). Hubby plans to come over for a little while this afternoon. I'm sitting on Friday too. 

Rushed home yesterday, changed clothes, and walked to dinner with 2 girlfriends. It's the furthest restaurant from my house that I would walk to at the other end of the downtown area -- not a hard walk, but it was warm. Walk home was beautiful -- sun low so all shade, downhill, easy breeze. Lovely.

Last year I planted a fig tree I ordered online. It promptly died. I never took out the root ball and planned to plant something else this year. Don't you know it came back -- apparently, that's common. I had no idea. Lucky mistake.

Grow little one.

Seeds have all sprouted from the garden. I need to figure out how to manage a FULL SUN garden -- from dawn to dusk. Big experiment this year, especially since I planted later in the season. The plants are still very young and will have trouble with hotter temps (I think). I need to take some time to research some of this.

This week feels a little on hold since I'm babysitting. Still looking for some regular days to do regular things. My life is getting a bit behind again. I can't seem to get to a balance. My things are rushed (morning routine, garden, etc) and I haven't had time to reflect and plan -- the sort of thing that makes a difference in my days.

I'm counting on next week to help with this. Hubby leaves for 5 days, my 2 most social friends are away for the week too. This should leave me, myself, and I (plus dogs) to have that time I need. Fingers crossed. I need to use this time for good and not sofa slugging (!!)

That's all from here. Got to get going -- early morning babysitting. Later gators.
