Good Morning it's Monday

It is another Monday morning. It is cool and possible rain in the forecast. The weekend wasn't horrible. Saturday we went to go look at a truck and it was everything. Everything wanted and needed but it was so far out of our range it wasn't even funny. We walked away with nothing again but it's ok because we'll get there. Sunday being Mother's Day we over spent and made it a day for my mom. Steak, lobster and a few other things. We watched 13th Warrior and just had a nice day. We were able to get semi-caught up outside. The front of the house is mowed and trimmed so now you can see the tomato plants and my flowers. Hubby is even putting together the flower box that mom got me. She replaced the one that got torn up. We skipped training on Saturday so we'll be going tonight. I've spent my morning working on emails. I just did some dishes. I need to get up to grams and get at least some things priced as we seem to be good to go on having a yard sale Saturday. Once Chris gets done at the dr today she wants to meet up and vent. Some big things happened over the weekend and they weren't good. She needs a friend right now. I finished reading Down on Me by J Kenner last night. It's Mr January in her Man of the Month series. Very good and it's like a continuous series over 12 books. I'm debating on starting February or not. Hubby let me get two books on Saturday and one I was waiting for because it was so expensive. I'm working on a spurt of graduation for the shop but we're going to start pushing Father's Day shortly. Then there's the huge 4th of July push. I'm trying. Our lizard, Beasty, isn't looking too good right now. I'm hoping that we're wrong and he'll perk up soon but I'm not sure. We've talked a lot about pets and last year we neglected almost everyone because we were never home. We feel bad but we're so much better right now. I hate to say we're in a better place but I guess as for schedules we are. I guess I should get to work. There is just so much to do and I have one day off to get it done. Friday will be all about prepping for the yard sale so everything else needs to be done today. What is everyone else up to today?

Right now he's basically the same. I keep hoping he'll start eating but right now not really.

I'm glad things are working out and that your mom had a nice Mother's Day. Hope your lizard perks up and is okay. Glad that Chris has you to vent to. Enjoy your week and hope you get everything accomplished that you have on your "never ending to do list"

lol thank you. I'm hoping I can give Chris some comfort. She called me to tell me what was going on before we got together and I mean...it was all a shock to me. With some luck I'm hoping to be able to get pop's floor done in a month or two.
