overscheduled

 My schedule for Mon-Thurs is so full of meetings that I am pretty much scheduled every waking hour. Today I need to shower and get ready as well as wash the dishes and start the dinner in the slow cooker. Then I have 3 hours of meetings, 2 hours of interviews, another meeting, a lecture, then home to plate the dinner, then have small group that ends at 9pm. So 12 hours booked! They are all enjoyable just a lot of scheduling!

Pipes

 Both cars were in the shop yesterday. The grey car the mechanic said that the transmission is "cooked", while it still drives, it is on its last legs. The brown car needed the exhaust system replaced and the passenger airbag is punctured.

I wore my summer shoes on Tuesday and realized that even though they were broken in last year, they needed to be re-broken in again so my feet are a bit raw.

James' toe doctor was "very surprised" as to how well he was healing.

Wrap up

 Allegedly the person who caused the boating accident was known for drunk and aggressive boating, Very sad for the families who lost young people.

I did not accomplish everything that I had planned on my break but I made good work on updating the cleaning. The bathrooms are now done. I need to do another set of dishes before bed.

An old TV was having some issues so I put it outside and was going wrote some details to post on marketplace to explain what was wrong. The TV was gone within 2 minutes before I could even post.

James' toe seems to be improving. He has a follow up appointment tomorrow. He was so tired after the tournament that he went to be around 7:30pm last night and I don't think was up until noonish today.

Boat safety week

Apparently this week is boat safety week. Unfortunately it has taken the lives of 3 young people.

Today is Pentecost Sunday. Todd spoke on Ezekiel 37 where the dry bones live again. There was a potluck after the service.

The sun is shining so I have laundry hanging out. James has only slept 5 hours each night the last 2 nights  so I am planning spicy steak for 6:15  and expect he'll want to sleep after that.

Boat accident

 Today was another mainly maintenance, somewhat spring cleaning day. I did lots of laundry and dishes. Vacuumed and washed windows. Also watched some gymnastics. U.S. Classic.

There was also a wasp that got in and I trapped him in a window. Couldn't find a fly swatter so picked one up at the dollar store. Ready for the next flying creature.

There was apparently a bad boat accident on Bob's Lake with multiple injuries. The ORGE chopper didn't fly over my house this time but I heard it land.

Milk run

 I woke up this morning at 6:30 to my alarm and I wondered why it went off when I am on vacation. Then I remembered that I needed to get James breakfast. He was off early for the ringette tournament (organization not playing)

I went to Loblaws for groceries and noticed that milk had gone up by 0.20. I picked up salad for dinner but no milk. I hung laundry as it was a beautiful day. Did a lot of dishes to catch up. Ironed a lot to catch up on that as well. I had hoped to vacuum and clean the bathrooms but didn't get to that today. Checked Giant Tiger and SDM and their milk had all gone up by 0.20 as well. I wouldn't mind if I knew this change was being passed onto the milk farmers, I am just not sure about that!

I also exchanged a lot of winter wear for summer wear from storage boxes. Spring is here! Some photos from last weekend at Camp Iawah.

Toe progress

 James has been taking showers and putting the foot into salt water soaks. He is trying to get the acid from the surgery washed off. He is making progress with that. The toe seems to be healing but the cleaning progress is slow.

We made a flying visit to Brighton. The weather was glorious. The 401 has a number of slowdowns. One we noted from line painting. Others were undetermined. Good to see my parents!

Hobbles

 James made it through the surgery where they cut off large parts of ingrown toenail. As him for gross photos. He is bandaged up and resting today but has hockey tomorrow. I'm calling him "hobbles".

His income tax assessment came back and all was ok, he didn't need to pay anything.

I was off work today but still had some emails to do for work and otherwise did some cleaning.

Toe surgery

 Today was working on wrapping up everything from last week. I'm still really behind on my email.

Tomorrow is James' toe surgery!

We ordered pizza for dinner with enough extra for the next few days instead of getting a chef plate box.

Mowing

 Last week when I mowed the long grass in the front, it took 3 batteries full to get through. Today I used 1 battery and I did the front again and about 1/2 of the back. The back is very long. A bunny ran across the back lawn when I was mowing and so I didn't really want to do that part if the lawn keeps the bunny happy.

The board spend a day at Camp Iawah doing some prayer and planning. It was good except in the morning I wanted to go to the water and there was no path so my shoes got soaked with dew and were wet all day. Next time- boots. We saw some deer as we were driving in. They were pretty chill with the cars.

James' birthing day

 James had a rest day yesterday. I was up early and hung laundry for the first time this year. Had some meetings with my summer students and worked on finalizing grades. Had a special pizza dinner for James. Then I had small group at Sarah's. So a full day for me!

Bite

 My bite isn't quite right since the tooth surgery so I may need to go back to the dentist.

James has his appointment with the foot doctor tomorrow. Interestingly in preparation for the appointment that he has waiting 2 months for, the toe infected. So I guess he'll get his moneys worth!

I went into work today to get ahead on marks as tomorrow I have a symposium to attend
