Welcome back and happy Tuesday! After some unsettling news about California shutting back down we can at least look forward to an isolated family escape to the refreshing coast this week. We all need the change of scenery and it will be a great way to beat the heat. Last week was pretty uneventful and more of the same which is why there is a need to mix things up.
Take a look at last week's pictures:
There were more beautiful wild flowers left at work today. I'm not even sure what these are but I think they're pretty cool. They certainly help brighten the day. At home were working our way through the seasons of Outlander. We didn't catch it in April or before then but are quickly catching up now.
Day 189- Tuesday, 7/7/20
It's a quiet remote work day. Rusty napped in the office as I attended Zoom meetings and then in the afternoon I was able to add a few more pieces to this puzzle. I made great progress over the weekend at least in one corner and hoping to branch out a bit more soon.
When he's not applying for jobs Tyler spends a good chunk of his days studying for the MCAT. After prepping aggressively since December and having it reschedule on him 3 times he's more than ready to be done and can't say I blame him. Meanwhile he too has a fur friend that naps close by in support. These poor pets--the heat makes them so tired.
Day 191- Thursday, 7/9/20
Brandon learned to make one of his favorites dishes for dinner tonight--penne pasta with chicken in vodka sauce. It turned out great and was a hit with all.
Walking the dog through the park this evening I found this beautiful big butterfly fluttering around and was able to snap a shot just as it landed for a bit. Getting back to nature is good for the soul. Later for our Friday night movie we streamed the just released Charlize Theron action adventure on Netflix to help us end the work week with a bang.
Day 193- Saturday, 7/11/20
We're finally getting around to a few home improvement projects, and I made sure to social distance in line with all the others starting or continuing projects. Lowe's has been a busy place this whole quarantine time. Top of the list for us is a ceiling fan greatly needed in the home office especially during those super how remote work days. It's been on the list for years but not really a necessity until now. I also picked up a new board for my puzzle since the one I'm using really belongs as a door on the back of John's bar. LOL!
Today was a perfect day for an early morning Sunday drive getting some freeway training in and then a late evening Sunday swim. The boys had fun thrashing about in the pool, splashing water everywhere, and then once they were done and the water had a change to settle it looked so peaceful lit up in the dark--perfect way to end the week.
That's all folks. See you next week.
So what are Tyler's plans now the he's graduated? Love your pool picture at night! Pretty flowers and pretty butterfly and yeah for kids making dinner! Great life skills! Have a good week, stay safe and cool!
ReplyDeleteWell Tyler was supposed to have his MCATs done by now and be applying to med school but because of the delays with COVID he'll miss this years application cycle forcing him into a 2 year gap (ugh!) before starting med school. This means he's looking for a job either research related or EMT/medical related. He had an emergency room job lined up at UCLA med center for after graduation but the offer was rescinded 2 weeks before starting due to COVID and a hiring freeze and now they are laying off hospital workers there so that kind of put him behind in the whole job search. Not a great time to be looking for work but he's home saving money on that crazy LA rent and has lots time to figure it out.
DeleteEnjoy your time away together! So annoying about the MCATS!! Love pools at night - reminds me a of pool hotel!
