Maintenance Time (or Busy Busy Weekend)

I sure kept myself busy this past weekend.

On Saturday, I was at work for 4 hours. Since it was the end of the pay period for us, I had a lot of little jobs to do to finish out everything and make sure my time cards and commissions were in order. Also, I’m not going to be in work the day that everything is checked (before it’s sent to the accountant to make out our checks), so I had to make sure everything is perfect. More on why I won’t be in work in a minute.

After work, I headed over to my friend’s house. The original plan was for me to have my hair cut and colored and then I was going to babysit my friend’s kids so she and her husband could go out. But my friend and her husband decided to spend the evening in, so it was just a fun hangout and hair session with my friend.

There are certain beauty routines that are luxuries like manicures, expensive makeup, blowouts, and pedicures in the winter. But things like cutting and coloring my hair and having my eyebrows done are maintenance work for me. I have to look good (even if I look this weird while my hair is being dyed).

After my hair was done, I spent some time just hanging out with my friend, her husband, and their kids. It was a low-key Saturday night, but it was exactly what was needed.

With Sundays being my only day off in a typical week, that day is always filled with doing my house chores. I spend a decent chunk of the day doing sweeping, vacuuming, laundry, and any other random tasks that need to be done around the house.

And I made sure to get all of my chores done yesterday because today I have family coming to town to visit me!

My mom and Aunt Cindy are coming in town for a couple of days! I’m super excited and we have some really great things planned. My Aunt Cindy and I have had this casually planned out for 6 years or so, but things like my hip surgery or other family events kept popping up and postponing our plans. My mom was saying how we were just letting her tag along, but she was always included in our plans.

I’m excited to share with you over the next few days the adventures that the 3 of us have ahead!
