We are killing it in terms of productivity today: the Snook made some key progress in sorting out our retirement accounts, installed four new hooks in the bathroom and bedroom, and baked a blueberry buckle.

The collapse is imminent…. 😅

Things are still ticking away on the renovation. In addition to the remedial plumbing work happening outside, the HVAC guys came back to install our new office wall units as well as the compressors that power them. Should be all done by the end of the week… just in time for the landscaping to kick off. 🌳🪴🌸

It took two months of retirement, but it finally happened: I forgot what day of the week it was for a good ten seconds. 😂
