Sometimes you can find the best part of the day in the worst part. Take today for instance. I had a very good workout.

Unfortunately it was climbing all over this behemoth. Did I mention I’m deathly afraid of heights?

And crawling all over this one. Today we set up on the front parking lot and while I was vacuuming (you can’t see that I’m in there when I’m doing it) a girl and her mom drove up and the girl climbed in the opening and started jumping. I probably gave her a near heart attack when I popped up. I’d love to see that picture her mom took when she realized I was right there.

The owner of the company I work for asked me to stay a couple of extra hours so he could go to a special luncheon. He is so gracious if I have to leave early when I have other commitments or days when I just say “I’ve hit a wall and just cannot do anymore”, that I would never say no. And I got a good bit of exercise out of it, which is the whole reason I do this job in the first place.

i was whooped when I got home, but Donny was off today and we needed to run errands. Look at this gas price! The line was incredibly long. It’s the cheapest place to get gas in town and luckily we live right around the corner. I hope it goes down even more.

We headed out to the Amtrak station so I could drop off a bag of books for their free library. We saw it when we took our trip to Chicago and I found that I love reading on the train so I wanted to give other people the opportunity, if they needed a book.

And it was locked up tight with a note on the door telling people that due to staffing shortages there would be no tickets for sale inside and loading and baggage would be done on the patio. That makes me sad but I guess it just means we’ll hit the free little libraries to drop some off at each. The Green Park has one so I know the kids will want to go with me because it’s a favorite place.

i also got one more very important thing crossed of my list today

Five brushes! (I’d already given Jackson one) Our brushes disappear at an alarming rate, which has nothing to do with our teenage daughter, I’m sure. We are definitely set for at least 2 weeks now 😉
