Welcome back and happy Tuesday! I hope everyone is staying cool as can be. We're still heatwaving in triple digits here. Last week was a quiet uneventful week. No one really wants to do much in the heat except stay indoors although looks like this week will be pretty busy with a lot of appointments.. We're also still waiting on our new bed set delivery hoping at least some of the order will be delivered end of the week. Apparently the bed and night stands are in Sacramento while the dressers are somewhere in route for another few weeks. At this point we'll take what we can get for now and at least enjoy the bed while we wait for the lesser important dressers.
Here's a look at the pictures from last week:
It was a cloudy start to the week which helped reduce the intensity of the sun but also made it more humid so overall feel was still HOT! We are not used to humidity here so it hits extra hard when it actually happens. Back at home Rusty was dealing well, laid back, and just cool as a can be while enjoying the evening delta breeze blowing through the house. He hasn't sat like this in awhile with his little armrest. Cracks me up every time.

One of Brandon's jobs from me this week was to sort through all the Pokémon cards we had laying around and find out if any of them are worth anything. Challenge accepted. He found an app that would scan them and tell the value. The ones in the sleeve sheet are worth the most. The first is over $80! The others in the 3 stacks are worth from 10 cents to $5.00 ea. He's got $200+ worth of cards there so a nice haul if can figure out where to sell them. It was a fun treasure hunt type of job that he enjoyed. Meanwhile in Humboldt, Justin is living his best summer life. Working when he can and enjoying his time there when he's free. He made another cake for another friend's birthday that was a Better Than Sex Cake--rich chocolate cake, caramel, toffee, and whipped topping. Apparently it was a huge hit. I'm so happy to see him having a great summer with good friends. Honestly he's going to hate graduating in Dec and having to leave. Who knows? He may even stay and find a good wildlife job there.
Day 201- Thursday, 7/20/23
I have our new bedding all washed and ready to go. We were hoping the new bed set would be delivered this weekend but looks like maybe next week with the dressers delayed and not coming until 3 weeks after. Ugh! At least there are these two to keep me smiling--Brandon likes to play videos for Rusty to watch and it's quite comical. He really is intrigued. Brandon says the are videos of mice running around. LOL! Poor deprived indoor cat that never sees any real action.
Day 202- Friday, 7/21/23
TGIF! What a work week! I am exhausted trying to balance work and home duties and so happy the weekend is here. It's time to put my feet up and relax with my kitty boy who is also happy to finally see me sit still for a change. I recorded this new HGTV show called Revealed where the designer focuses on making a home reflect your roots and heritage--love how she does that is such a special way. So far the end results have brought tears to my eyes with each episode.
Day 203- Saturday, 7/22/23
Time for some fun--dinner and a movie with my guy. We saw the new Mission Impossible flick which did not disappoint. Turns out most people there were seeing the new Barbie movie. The theater was packed of people dressed in pink. I think I'll wait for it to stream. Afterwards we tried a pizza place that has been in Sacramento for over 75 years! There was also a cool painted mural on the building next door and I noticed as we were driving through the city streets that were so many more new murals to help brighten the city up and add interest. They were all so cool and interesting.
Today I worked inside upstairs and outside in the yard while trying to avoid the sun and heat. Upstairs while cleaning out the boys things I found "Joe" which is a doll John's dad made out of scraps of his own clothes for Tyler when he was a baby. It's something Tyler should have to pass on to his own children someday so I set it aside to keep it safe from the great purge. Outside I found a nice garden spider by our shed that is helping control the mosquitos around here. We used to have a lot of these at out 1st house in Woodland but not so many here so I was happy to see this one. They look creepy but are actually very helpful. Then I was checking in on the pool which I have noticed is not maintaining it's water level well so this mean there is something wrong with the autofill--it's always something! I'll have the pool guys check on it this week. Also it's sad that it's been too hot even to be in the pool lately which seems crazy but until the sun goes does it's really unbearable to be anywhere outside even in the water with this heat. Triple digits all week--ugh!
That's it. Crazy to think it will be August when I see you all again--August for sure will be very full and eventful. My head is spinning just thinking about it.
That's a cool app to find out the cards' value! Love that bedding!
ReplyDeleteYour new bedding looks cool! What a fun treasure hunt for Brandon! Hope he can sell them! That doll of Tyler's is a treasure! We have had triple digit heat for 10 days and it is awful! finally cooling down! Hope you do too!
