Back again today for my weekly blog :). I worked 5 days last week, had an emergency visit to a friend's daughter in the hospital an hour and a half away one day after work , and helped run the largest 5K in our city this week, so it has been busy. Oh, and we leave next week to take my daughter to college, so trying to squeeze in time and get all the little things. Here is a weekend update and I will blog again on Wednesday for the month in review.
I worked my regular job last week, but also I was a substitute teacher at a local private school one day. It has been several years since I have been a sub, but this was my first time to do this in a private school setting.
After a long afternoon with a hospital visit, I did get to visit one of my favorite restaurants in Oxford, MS. I had not been there in 3 years and this was the best meal I have had in a long time....pot roast, the best mac-n-chesse, fried okra and a roll.
While driving on Friday, I was listening to the Dwell podcast. They were throwing out some good verses that I really wanted to remember. I couldn't find any paper while driving, so at a redlight, I wrote on a styrofoam cup in the car:).
Saturday morning was our annual 5K, which is our biggest fundraiser of the year for the non-profit where I work. We had 1200 registered runners. It was a great, but hot event!
Sunday after church, we met my parents and sister for lunch so they could say farewell to Brook before we take her next week to school.
Anytime in between these activities, I was locked up in my room because as of Monday, we are on day 11 without air conditioning in our house! That being said, we have a small portable a/c unit that we have in the bedroom to stay somewhat cool at night. Let me say having a broken a/c is expensive, not only for repairs, but because we have been going out to eat and stores any chance we can. Hopefully, it will be fixed this week.
Have a good Monday and I will be back Wednesday!

You have been busy... and hot, apparently. Hopefully you get your AC fixed and soon. We are having a late summer heat resurgence here that would make life without AC very uncomfortable. I'm sure you're thankful for your portable unit. That meal looks really good and I love how you used your cup as something to write on. That is something that I would do. When you have to jot it down, you do what you have to do;). Have a great Monday!
ReplyDeleteThat was a busy weekend! I hope your friend's daughter was okay. That has to be hard for the mom not being able to be there. I hope you get to squeeze in all the fun things with Brooke that you can before she leaves! And I really hope you get your A/C unit repaired this week. I did hear today that toward the mid and end of the week, the humidity will be lower...but still hot. That is a long time to go with no air, friend. I know you're more than ready to get that back on! It's too hot to go without and I don't know how you've been able to last. I hope you have a good day and that your week gets started off well!
ReplyDeleteWhat a busy and fun weekend! That dinner looks so delish- my mouth is watering!
ReplyDeleteThat is a busy week! I sure hope the a/c is fixed real soon.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a very busy week. Not having A/C is just the worst. Hopefully it will get worked out soon. Praying for a safe and smooth move-in for Brooke.
ReplyDeleteNo A/C?? Oh my! But the week was not all bad - you had fried okra!! My mom made the best fried okra...something I have not been able to duplicate! Only way to make it even better? Add a side of mac and cheese!! (She also made that extremely well! Goodness but she was a good cook!!) :)
