It’s a three-day weekend here in the US. Labor Day is officially set aside as a day honoring workers, which is laughable, a cruel joke for many Americans. But that’s a subject we’ve covered here before. Instead, let’s talk about how you use the extra day off on a holiday weekend. Is it all parades, beer, and cookouts? Or time to tackle that big project you’ve been putting off?
By the time you read this, I will be exhausted from helping my daughter clean and reorganize her kitchen cabinets. Do I know how to have fun or what?
Yesterday’s plan for today: Cutting the lawn before the sun/heat comes up and boils everyone.
Today’s reality: Lying on the couch and watching Netflix
I spent the whole day yesterday helping my daughter so today is all about relaxing – reading, playing games, and napping.
I have the exact same plans for today.
And caring for MrsLuigi of course. Hope she’s feeling better.
She’s better. She’s just milking it now.
As she should!
Happy Labor Day, US DeadSplinterites!
Enjoy your day off. 🙂
We took the whole week off, and met up with family in Eastern Idaho. Basically we are on the backside of Grand Teton National Park.
Is it nice and cool? We have a bit of a heat wave here for a couple of days.
Yes, although today’s cool temperatures include some rain. Still pretty, though.
I need to do some gardening prep work for fall planting. Unsure if I’m going to do any of it because it’s been so warm that like it’s still too soon to plant lettuce or spinach etc.
Moment of silence for my green beans, I’ve lost the battle with the flea beetles. I didn’t know what flea beetles were until this summer, but now I’m more educated for next year. I got real cocky and lazy because I had a ton of ladybugs and lacewings and all the other garden pests were being kept in check. Except squash bugs, because they’re dickbags. But I’m used to them.
That’s a shame. Green beans are such a versatile vegetable. Better luck next year.
I got tons of green beans between June and about 2 weeks ago, so it was still a lovely summer with them. Just cut the season short by a few weeks.
“Why is there no Job Creator day, dad?”
“Because son, the other 364.25 days are Job Creator day.”
Phhht, even today is job creator day. They’re raking in the cash from their Labor Day sales.
normal monday here…..still havent found my pants
luckily i has spares
and its shorts weather anyways
Lost pants! 😂
far as monday mornings go…i’d call that acceptable
I *was* going to go up to Mom’s to hang out with her for Sunday & Monday… annnnd then I got The Crud last Weds/Thursday…
So my weekend was *mostly* spent working at the grocery store (Thursday, Friday, & Saturday evenings) and then sleeping, because that seems to be the best/fastest way to fight off The Crud.
Luckily, it *does* just seem to be the usual “Got done working with kids, get sick in the next week!” Crud, and *not* Covid–i’ve tested twice and both times were negative.
But it *would* be nice *one* of these long weekends, to NOT come down with The Crud!😉💖
I DID get to go have Brunch/a late breakfast with my cousin, who’d come down to The Cities to meet up with friends of hers (I tested to make sure I wasn’t gonna spread gunk to her & hers!), so it wasn’t ALL just working & sleep!
