It's Been a Looooong Weekend

I'm not complaining! I've needed a weekend like this for quite some time and I've taken advantage of all the relaxation that I could possibly squeeze out of every moment. That's not to say that it has been all relaxation and down time, however.

In fact, it's been so busy, trying to capture it all in one post would hardly do it justice, so, I'm going to break it up into manageable chunks-one day at a time. Like God intended. This particular edition will be about Friday, which, was actually the least relaxing day of the weekend, although it paved the way for the remainder to be less errand-driven, so, I can live with that.

So, Friday:

I got up early to get my work done at the hardware store, freeing the rest of the day for those above-mentioned errands. Errands that included standing in line to renew my car registration at the County Courthouse...

...picking up cheese for the weekend...cheese shopping is no simple task, my friends; not with a selection like you'll find at the fancy supermarket in Neighboring City...

...grabbing fuel for the vehicle...

...and for the body...

...picking up a venus flytrap for Queen B, who, for some unknown reason, had wanted one for a while...

...planting new pepper plants, cleaning, organizing household crap, and changing the seasonal chalkboard from spring to summer...

...playing fetch with the dog...

...and slaving over take-n-bake pizza so that Hugh and the Man-Cub (who arrived for the weekend earlier in the day) would not starve.

Like I said, it was an errand-heavy day. But! It did make the rest of the weekend flow much more smoothly, and, I can't lie; I also indulged in a ninety minute deep tissue massage that finally opened up my hips enough to diminish the sciatic pain that I have been experiencing pretty much constantly recently.

Up next: Saturday!

I know, you're on the edge of your seat.
