Old Lady Fridays

I'll never get over how long the 4-day weeks seem sometimes. It was only Monday of this week when Rob left again for Illinois and Labor Day came and went. Maybe it was the fact that I was sick for half the week and honestly just exhausted and out of sorts. Actually, I know that's exactly what it was. It's Friday and I am spent.

However, it's been nearly three full weeks since I last mowed my lawn, and if I'm being honest, I felt like collapsing in a heap tonight and waiting another few days at least. I forced myself yesterday though to get it out of the way today.

oh, my amazing friends.

Becky and Mike showed up while I wasparked on the couch reading;  I didn't notice them until Becky had fired up the mower and grazed a path through the yard. Haha. This is why I love my friends. It may not be often, but when I need help, I know they'll be there (:

After we'd finished mowing and weed-eating both my yard & my neighbor's [in return for having borrowed their mower most times this summer], we loaded up and found ourselves at the Brew River Gastro Pub just past Eli's. Not a bad little dive!

Back at home, Becky and Mike headed home, and I made the call to resign myself to the couch for the evening, accompanied by my book and the best blanket I've ever had. I forfeited some tentative plans I had to stop by Elisa's brother & my old college friend Drew's birthday celebration tonight in OTR; the week's been exhausting and I'm nnnnot moving until I go to bed...

...I'm old. Haha.
We'll try OTR tomorrow.
