Fri 7 Aug

Muscles were tired during workout this morning even though I wasn't excessively tired overall. Made it through most of the reps though.

Made mac n cheese for Phil last night as he had been craving it. Also used cherries with the homemade hot fudge to hit Phil's love of cherries and Leigha's love of chocolate. They have been fun to have around.

Thurs 6 Aug

It was hard to get up this morning, possibly because I've gotten used to taking Thursday off from early morning exercise when I consistently do the Sunday ballet routine. Because I was in Door Co on Sunday morning and therefore didn't exercise, I had to go all five mornings during the week and my body wasn't too happy about it this morning. I'm okay now, though.

Felt the need for some extra computer downtime this morning before my shower, so I'm running a tad late now. It's delightful having guests, but it disrupts your routine and minimizes your "alone" time so somewhere you need to compensate.

Phil and Leigha came hiking with us at Rib in the evening, followed by sup at the Dane. Good times!

Tues 4 Aug

Still enjoying my fresh-picked Door Co cherries and the yummy Michigan blueberries. Ah, fresh fruit season!

Phil and Leigha arrived mid-morning. I had stopped on the square for fresh veggies (and beautiful flowers!) so we had a nice fresh salad for lunch with Breadsmith bread. Made a casserole for supper as I figured they'd most crave homemade food after being on the road so long. And a cherry crisp with the fresh cherries - turns out they're Phil's favorite fruit.

Back to work for two full weeks, then Richmond and Laura! Hey, just realized you got your first paycheck last Friday. Congratulations! Helps you to feel like a real part of the work force once the paychecks start coming in.

Hope you're beginning to recover from the weekend's disturbed sleep schedule. Phil and Leigha are coming this week, most likely tomorrow. Will be nice to have them here for awhile. Haven't been successful in scouting out any day labor for them though.

I will definitely pass on the WWOOF info to Phil when they arrive. Good thought.

Spent the morning helping a man get admitted to the local mental health ward. He could not sit/stand/lay still for more than a couple of minutes during the inevitable waiting time in the ER, and I was having trouble staying awake.

I will check for the noodles in the freezer (I wrote myself a note). If I don't have any but can find some, I'll bring them if I can.
