Yes indeed!!!<\/p><\/div>\n

Today,\u00a0 mother went to school while I had planned to be productive.\u00a0 Unfortunately, my diddler broke, and I couldn’t get much work done.\u00a0 I did minor paint touch-ups, laundry, filing, and software updates, but that was about it.\u00a0 I was even lazier than my dog, Scout!<\/p>\n

\"\"

I felt ashamed!<\/p><\/div>\n

Mary called to say she was meeting some former students.<\/p>\n

\"\"

She taught him at UCI!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

MAry said is was great to see them after all these years and find out they have been successful in their work.<\/p><\/div>\n

At 3:00 p.m., I showered and started doing some productive tasks.\u00a0 Firstly, I moved the trash cans to their proper locations, replaced the batteries of the outdoor solar lights, and also got the Govee outdoor floor lights working and partially placed them.\u00a0 I filled Scout’s food bowl to the brim and unpacked his foodies from the delivery box.\u00a0 I also managed to locate the cable box, which we have been paying for, even though it’s NOT connected for two years.\u00a0 Moreover, I watered Mary’s cactus garden and updated the laptop software to the latest version of Adobe software.\u00a0 All these tasks made me feel accomplished and content.<\/p>\n

The cacti were not too dry, although I heard them coughing just before they were flooded!\u00a0 I told them, “Cactus makes perfect.”<\/p>\n

What did the porcupine say to the cactus? “Is that you, Dad?”<\/p>\n

\"\"

I could hear them gulping down the water.<\/p><\/div>\n

Although there are no termites, evidence of past infestation was discovered by placing a security camera near the wood.\u00a0 After the repairs, the entire board is solid.<\/p>\n

\"\"

It looks brand new; plastic wood is a miracle worker.\u00a0 I even found the matching paint!<\/p><\/div>\n

I called Diane Porter to check on the welfare of the new grandmother and received good news.\u00a0 Lisa, Hanna, and their spouses are all doing well; the newborn has already reached twelve pounds.\u00a0 We also discussed our travel plans and decided to take a trip to Northern California in February before embarking on our global travels for the rest of the year.<\/p>\n

I took a short break and scrolled through Facebook, where I found an interesting recipe that we should try!<\/p>\n
