I have to admit today was not too shabby. Since it was the first day back after a long weekend, my expectations for the day were quite low. I mean, it always sucks coming back from a long weekend of vacation. Of course, the gloomy and windy weather courtesy of Elsa wasn’t helping my outlook. Nevertheless, today was a success.
After the turtle’s pace that was work Friday and Saturday, my expectations were that today would be a boring and unprofitable day. Thankfully, the opposite proved to be true. I was slammed all day, which made the day fly by. Moreover, everyone was a buyer today. Obviously, these are the best kind of days in sales.

Elsa had stayed far too the west, so our weather was not too shabby today. The morning was nice albeit extremely humid. This afternoon brought some rain squalls courtesy of now Hurricane Elsa. These storms are so unpredictable. They expected it to weaken, but here we are Tuesday night and it’s a hurricane again. It just proves that you always need to be prepared whether it’s a tropical storm or hurricane approaching.
This evening the Hubby grilled some great steaks form Butcher Box. We had the top sirloins and ribeyes, which were mighty tasty. With the steaks, we served grilled potatoes and corn on the cob. Usually the sweet corn here is abysmal at best, but this corn was not only not too shabby; it was good. We bought the corn at the Farmer’s Market after our walk in the Glades Monday morning.
Here’s a list of our day’s activities:
*I read Demons, by Dostoevsky. I am really enjoying this book so far.
*I walked 2 miles with the puppies and it was great!
* I made another peach crisp. This time mixed in one white peach for a little of variety. I’ll let you know how it tastes.
*The family and I have been binge-watching Thirty Rock. It is such a good show. We’re two days in to our binge and man is this show good.
*I spent my day with the puppies.
*My favorite surprise on the underwater cams, I watch during work, is seeing an octopus.
*I’m back to work and still tracking Elsa.
*Today’s word of the day is upheaval. Our neighbor Kirk was setting off fireworks at a frenetic pace.
*I took my puppies including sweet Anakin for a walk. Did I mention I hate gnats, flies, and mosquitos?
