Waking up this morning was cool. When I woke up I realized something. For some reason I'd gotten it in my head that I only had one full week left of summer break. But, that was wrong as I realized this morning I have TWO full weeks of summer break left! Yeah!!!! Of course that last week I'll spend time in my classroom, but that's ok. Just the fact that I have two weeks when I thought I had one made my day.

We took Abby to the vet this morning. They did not take out all her stitches. He said it's still healing. So, he wrapped it back up again. Looks like I'm going to have to change her grooming appointment again. He showed us where a gland is on her leg that we need to keep an eye on. If the cancer comes back that's probably where it will be located since the tissue surrounding the tumor on her toe was clean.

After we brought Abby home we went shopping. We needed to pick out handles/knobs for the kitchen cabinets and closet doors at the duplex. That was actually pretty painless. We also went to the bank and took Michael to get his allergy shot.

Once we got home I cleaned up the kitchen and did some more laundry. We got McDonald's for lunch. Michael went up to the duplex to work on the kitchen with his dad.

I also worked on pictures a little bit, but not long because Michael called. He'd left the handles in the truck. So, the kids and I walked them up the street to him. It's about a half mile up there.

When we got back from that we all three worked together to vacuum the house. Then, we got our swim suits on and went to the pool at McNair Park. There was only about 40 people total there. It was kind of nice. I managed to swim about 10 laps while we were there. I got to read about four chapters and just lay on the lawn chair for a little bit, too.

Tonight I grilled chicken breasts on the BBQ grill. We also had corn on the cob, green beans and cantaloupe. It was really good if I do say so myself.

Michael went back up to the duplex after supper. I've cleaned up the kitchen and have the last load of laundry in the dryer. I am going to relax and work on pictures this evening. Hopefully, I'll finish them tonight.
