Time to make a few decisions. We’ve cut down the cost on a bunch of things for the house by about 50%. You do what you have to do, right? Thought I’d say that in honor of Mom with it being Mother’s Day weekend and all.
Yesterday I packed up five large tubs of winter coats, ski gear and boots. Office Depot had them on sale for $9 a piece. I’d like to get ten more of them. Last night after Ty’s mountain bike practice down in Eagle, we went over to Marty and Melanie’s for a visit. We had a fun visit as they’re our closest friends. The girls split a bottle of Rose which they needed. Melanie said Marty’s sister calls daily from Texas, (she’s a banker and her name is Robin!) wanting to know what Doug, (me) said today. I said “what” and she explained how they tell her everything I’ve said over the past few months and how I’ve always been right so Robin wants to know what Doug thinks and what is going to happen next. To be fair, I did predict or tell them when Melanie was getting sent home from her traveling job for work a few months ago, when the school would shut down, the shortage of masks, wipes and stuff, James tours getting cancelled, and more. So the running joke is I’m always right about things and Marty always says ” yea and I’m getting a little sick of it”. Ha.
Today Ty is getting a haircut and we’re hitting a clothes store or two along with two stops at furniture stores. With things opening back up a bit now is the time to get a few things we take for granted and get ready in case there is a second wave and things get shut down for an even longer time. For us it’s a few summer clothes like shorts and shirts, maybe some socks and underwear and a few sets of sheets. We’ll also pick up about six months worth of hair gel and shampoo as we’re close to running out. A couple new pair of tennis shoes for the gym would be nice too. Other than that we’re pretty well set.
The Bronco’s say football will proceed as normal. Hope they’re right but we’ll know more in 90 days. Not sure I believe them just yet. Time to get moving so we can go to the gym before heading to Denver. Rain is coming Monday. We’re fine with that but are pouring concrete Tuesday down at the house. Hope everyone is well. Lot’s going on these days. Be well and God Bless.
