Head Massage, Furnace Room Organizing & Renn Comes for the Weekend

I made coffees and delivered one to the still-sleeping guy at 8:30, waking him just enough to say we needed to leave by 9. That plan didn’t go quite as expected—surprise, surprise—with a few small delays, but we finally rolled out around 9:15. My tight little schedule was officially out the window, so we headed straight to a good customer’s home in the SW near Kaylin's. She’s moving to Scotland and offered me most of the pieces she’d purchased from me over the years—and more. We loaded a standing jewelry box, the bench S built, an accent chair, and a bread box, and somehow squeezed in a curvy desk at the last minute. There are still a few larger pieces, but I’m not sure I can make it back before she moves next week.

From there we zigzagged across the city to a spa in the NE to meet Kaylin, who had just dropped Renn at school. She gifted me a hydro head massage for my birthday, and let me tell you—it was every bit as heavenly as she promised. THANK YOU!! XOXO

By 1, we were back at Boysie’s place with the plan to tackle their furnace room. Give me an organizing project any day—I love a makeover, and this one turned out great. We took a late Edo lunch break at 2, and S popped back in after his appointment. By 4, the furnace room looked like a completely different space. Nathan ran to pick up Renn, and we had a short little visit before she was ready to go.

Loaded up, we headed east. She quietly watched her iPad the whole way and was absolutely thrilled to arrive at Nana and Grampa’s. I threw together a quick supper, then she and I headed downstairs to play “castle trick-or-treating,” which she loved. Then we popped outside to see the light show. Kinda like zoo lights but only animals at Nana and Grandpas are horses, cats and a dog. S was busy watching hockey and tidying up his deer back straps and organ meats.

She named this horse Junie :)

Once Renn had her fill of playtime, I got her changed into PJs, read her bedtime stories, and tucked her in around 7:30. She was out fast. B arrived not long after to feed and came in for a short visit before she headed off to help Amanda change Clover’s bandage. Netflix for me, sports for S, and that wrapped up our full Friday.
