Day 127 — Tuesday, July 21, 2020 or there’s just nothing like a vacation day!

There really isn’t! My friends are visiting today and I took the day off. We don’t have any plans, and I am totally fine with that! One of my friends has to work today, so we’ve been giving her some space as she holds virtual meetings in my home “office”. Better her than me! That sounds mean, but I really needed a couple of days off. It’s been a long few months…

And it’s been a relaxing day — I did some reading, got in a good upper body workout and spent some time out in the garden. My tomato plants have skyrocketed! And now they are getting so tall that they are starting to droop. So I grabbed some tall garden stakes and propped them back up. I’ve got a little replanting that I need to do, but that will probably be tomorrow’s task.

It’s hot again today, but not as humid as yesterday. When my friend is done with her meetings, we’re going to sit outside on the patio with some beers and a cheese plate I put together earlier. And my husband is smoking steak and salmon in the smoker for dinner tonight. He’s never done salmon in the smoker, I’m sure that it will be delicious!

It’s so nice to have folks visiting us again. I actually keep forgetting that we are in the middle of a pandemic! Back in “normal” times, we’d always have people over on the weekend, I have definitely missed it. And my husband and I are super excited to have new people to talk to and new stories to hear. I’ll be sad when they leave tomorrow morning!
