| See my buckets in the store? |
I stopped by the consignment store to drop off the business card holder I made and some more business cards, then went to the dentist to get two fillings replaced. Ugh. I hate how the local anesthesia makes me feel- tired and dragging the rest of the day.
Tuesday I ran a virtual 5k race with Max and wore her out doing hills on the back side of the park. Too bad I don't have the energy for more hills.
After music practice and lessons, I helped Jeremy mix concrete and set the swing set posts. We didn't quite finish though- we'll have to pick up more bags of mix to finish filling the holes. How do we always manage to underestimate how much is needed?
I got the batteries on Jeremy and my phones replaced. It was less than $50 per phone and they'll last a few more years, which is much better than shelling out a lot more money for pricey new phones.

I put together my work table. I got it all done and turned over and decided it was too tall. But it was also too late at night to be doing anything more with, so I left it there for the night.
Wednesday the rains arrived in force, so I took Max to the pet store to get a rain jacket, then went running. We only did a mile and I was completely soaked in the first two minutes. At least it was a warm rain. It's still unseasonably warm for November, but in this case, I'm not complaining. Max tolerated the jacket and the rain, but wasn't thrilled with either.

The dark wax toned down the bright blue paint. This is the same paint I used on the tall dresser I have next to my desk upstairs. I toned that one down as well, though not as much as this one.

Thursday we only got sprinkled on while running. After I got home, I put another coat of wax on the table. I'm loving how it turned out. The color, the size... I can roll out almost an entire (larger) side of leather and a roll of waxed canvas. So much better than what I've been trying to do in a much smaller space.
My sister arrived for a short visit and we talked for quite awhile, catching up on everything. That evening we also had a combined youth activity that my class was in charge of. We played a game of gospel trivia via zoom, which went pretty well. I'm not fond of virtual activities, but this is our life right now.
Friday too many late nights and too many carbs caught up to me and I slept in instead of taking Max for a run. She was definitely bouncing off the walls. My sister left in the afternoon (I said it was a short visit), and I cut straps for totes on my nice big table.
Saturday Sunshine and I went to a ropes course with her Scout troop. Instead of the zip line course we were expecting, it was more of a team building course. It wasn't her favorite, but she still had fun.

Sunday I took Max for a run. It felt weird to go for a run on a Sunday, but Max really needed some exercise and she hadn't gotten any for several days.
