Happy Homemaker 2019-08-19

Had a 3-day week at work because of my Monday off and 1 day was a small intervention at doctor's office that didn't work.. so now I wait 2-3 months before they call me for an echography and then 1 full year of waiting to try again (I am priority 'E' ) ... at least it doesn't change anything for now and nothing is hurting.
My sister reserved a cabin for our Thanksgiving weekend in October for the family - for my parent's 55th wedding anniversary.  It's halfway between them and us.
Was another hot week but a few days with less humidity which is great!  
Friday night we went to see a free music concert in next town 'Pépé et sa guitare'

Saturday my son, his girlfriend and her little sister (15 months) and the dog came for supper.
MIL came to sleepover (my sil, where she usually sleeps, was on vacation). 
My husband finished putting dirt in the backyard, mowed the lawn and changed my son's car trunk (it was rusted) and then disposed of the old one.  
I started some deep-cleaning of kitchen cabinets.

Waking up this morning (dark and rainy) with the alarm and getting up and my husband saying ... it's Monday? you're not working... and going back to bed :)
