My neighbor is bringing back my lawnmower (the one daddy gave me so he could get a better one that would be easier for his wife to use while he’s recovering). I bought a bunch of bulbs at Costco so I might be doing some gardening sunday. I can make my CS mow for me. 
One of the carpool ladies – KP – is trying to get a handyman to help take her concrete patio (which I can then break up and use at my place) out, but they’ve been playing phone tag, so no real
progress there. I’m considering putting down gravel, or at least bark so that I don’t have to keep weeding so much in the meantime. Dad is doing lots better, he’s driving again and sleeping through the night now, he still hurts if he stands for too long, but sitting and walking are ok.
I leave around 7am now for the carpool, but now that I’m not driving all the way to work, it is so much easier to wake up early and get ready. The only bad thing is that to make sure I sleep enough I have to shut Khalua & Mocha out of the bedroom (although that does make Cookie happy). So I don’t get to cuddle with Khalua at night and in the morning like I used to. I miss that, but I’m definitely sleeping better without them waking me up. But with me being gone from 7am-6pm every day, and then having busy weekends, I think they miss me, and I know I miss them. I think I’m going to cancel most of my plans for this weekend except dinner with CS’s dad and just putter around the house. I want to clean my fireplace out and put candles in there. So I need to get rid of all the soot so the kitties don’t get it on them. I’d love to get that done this weekend since the weather is cooling down nicely. I love the fall.
