It has actually been a great week. All that rain we were supposed to get every day except Monday, just didn't materialize. I think it's coming tonight, though.
Tuesday Eler Beth and I caught up from taking off on Monday. We still managed to spend a good bit of the day outside. We even did our Social Studies research outside. She brought out her laptop and notebook, and the two of us sat on the porch and worked.
Wednesday I had a headache all day, but still managed to get done what needed to be done. Last night I made a good start on getting caught up with journal reading. My headache went away in the evening, and then for some reason I couldn't get to sleep until late last night.
Today has been pretty ho-hum. I called to talk to my Mom and sisters. My sister, Maxine, is coming up to Kentucky once again for a flying visit on the weekend of the 19th. Hopefully I'll get down to my Mom's to see her while she's in. Eler Beth and I did some yard work this afternoon. The regular school kids had a half day, so the neighborhood was loud with the sounds of happy children playing -- I love that sound!
My grass is ready to be cut. I guess if we don't get the rain they're calling for, I'll pull out the lawn mower this weekend. Saturday is Thunder Over Louisville, the official kick-off for the Derby celebrations. It's supposed to be cool, with the possibility of some light showers, but I'm sure that won't stop Thomas, Eler Beth, and her friend, B, from going. Andrew will probably go with some of his friends, and I'll stay home and watch it on TV! lol I did Thunder for several years, and don't care to get out there much anymore. Thomas loves the air show, and Eler Beth loves it all.
My sister-in-law is doing very well. I will probably stop by to see her tomorrow, and maybe take her and her sister, Maxi, a dessert or something. There have been so many losses in J-Land recently, and my heart goes out to everyone who has suffered.
As for me, I'm feeling much better than I have in several weeks. I've been writing a lot (not here, necessarily) and that has helped. It feels, looks, and smells like Spring finally, and that has helped a lot, too. I can't wait to plant, and I can't wait to do some painting inside the house. I want to pull up all my carpets, too, and lay down some wood flooring. I said I was going to do that last year, but we never got around to getting it planned out and doing it. This year I'm determined!
I hope everyone has had a decent week. Take care, and have a great weekend!

Sounds similar to my week. :) 1 crunch. ha-ha-ha
sorry about your headaches. Sounds no fun. I didn't get nearly enough work done around my house on my days off. I remember you talking about Thunder last year. We don't have near enough kids in our neighborhood, so I rarely hear other kids.

our rain expected all week...has finally arrived....so glad I got someone to mow the lawn yesterday...hubby has been under the weather and not ready for that much activity...it is so dark here...and raining hard....hope it tapers off before kids have to go to school...hugs from KY...Ora
The year before last, I ended up with a bug in my bonnet to pull up all my carpeting (the cats were digging it to pieces anyway and see what was underneath. To my astonishment wood floors throughout the entire house. Since then I've been letting the wood air out, I'm going to sand and varnish them this summer. I can't wait to get outside in my garden myself. The weather doesn't agree though it's now suppose to rain all weekend and the temps are going to plummet...sigh...soon....(Hugs) Indigo
I am hoping the spring weather helps everyone out a little ~ I know it isn't the answer to problems but I think the emergence of spring makes things a wee bit better. I am happy to hear you are feeling better too!
