This weekend was a total success.

Aside from the vet appointment on Thursday (see previous post), we didn’t do too much. Yesterday was super chill because I was on-call for work. I didn’t want to risk jinxing it by going out, knowing I’d inevitably get called in — so we laid low and relaxed. Oh, and they never called me!

Today started off much the same. My husband had to work, so it was just my kid and me hanging out. She played kitchen while I curled up with a book. But once my husband got home, things picked up — I got to put together one of the three garden boxes for the backyard! I’m so excited about it.

I thought I would be able to do it myself, though I ended up needing my husband’s strength to attach a few of the brackets. Dais was just as excited about the project — she wanted to help, so I let her screw in some of the support beams. After that, she turned the box into her own little playhouse.

All in all, a win. I’m feeling pretty happy, even if it’s back to work tomorrow.
