My days without Rob are coming to a rapid end, and now that I’m more than halfway, my thoughts have gone from “6 whole months will take a while,” to “I only have two more months left to prepare for Rob coming home!”
I have attacked my workouts with renewed vigor, shooting for the hottest bod that can be attained in the remaining time. I’m actually enjoying the crossfit class on base as well as yoga in my schedule.
The garden is much more high maintenance now as things are ripening and weeds are sprouting.
My project list is getting smaller (but still formidable) – although the basement is STILL my Everest and I would love to go through more boxes down there and unpack books and find a place for the more “random” items. And my awesome stackable storage boxes still need doors to hide their contents and not make the basement look cluttered and busy.
The days are also broken up with walks for Gus and any friends staying with us, trips to the dog park, calls to contractors for home repairs from the recent hail storm (see pic below for proof of egg-sized hail in late June), a bit of retail therapy always makes me happy (and now I have a good excuse with deployment), and throw in a couple weekly evening get-togethers among the spouses and you’ve got yourself a fairly busy lady.

Instead of tiling the step, I tore off the nasty vinyl tiles and simply spread some grout over it.

Tomatoes
Peppers
Eggplants
And figs, oh my!
I’m so happy the little fig tree made it! I almost thought he was a goner at the end of the winter, but look how well he’s pulled through! Go figgy!
