I had a lovely long weekend, dedicated to some household projects and immense cleaning. With the boy in Vegas for a bachelor party, our roommate visiting friends in Houston, and everyone else I know "down the Cape", it also included some forced very much needed "me" time. If you're not familiar, "me" time means: walks to get XL iced coffees with extra espresso shots, blasting WFNX as loud as possible and singing along, and lots of breaks to play with the dog.

In the end, I didn't get quite everything done that I was hoping, but the house looks significantly cleaner and less cluttered, which does wonders for my mood as soon as I walk in the door. I also did my first ever furniture re-hab! Which was a lot of fun and really gratifying. More on this to follow.

By the time the boys were back in Boston (equip with cowboy hats and wrestling masks...?) I was more than happy to grill up some food and enjoy our improved homestead. Wasn't the most relaxing weekend, but being productive sure makes me calm for days to follow.












...Yes, he is terrifying. My apologies.
