More rain - so much rain - but the high is only an amazing 82, so I'll take it.
I did not sweep last night. By the time dinner was over... I just needed some air. I hadn't been outside the house all day except to walk the dogs. So... I took an umbrella (it was pouring) and I walked for a little over a mile. I was damp when I got home, but felt a bit better and it was quite cool outside.
So... today, I sweep 🤪 I have to because I have a student who comes in-person (not online) today. That will force my hand!
Our washer died last night. DH has taken the reins on this and I'm letting him. The machine should be under warranty, but we don't have the paperwork from buying it. This household does a LOT of laundy, so it will be interesting. DS3 has one more round of camp so we will HAVE to figure out getting him to a laundromat. I don't even know where one is here. I can get by for a while, hand washing the things I need. DH is very structured about laundry - it's done every weekend... so I'm sure something will have to happen around that. DS2 does a TON of laundry because of his work uniforms, but he has his own car and schedule. We'll see if he figures out that he needs to think ahead about that. I tried to put that across last night. He was listening... but I could tell he wasn't hearing what I was trying to get across, kwim? DS1, I think, gets it. He also has his own car and schedule and he's gotten pretty good about thinking ahead.
My lesson schedule is light today and they're all good students. All my students are good human beings... but they're not all very studious 😁 These three are. It makes for a nice day.
Aside from sweeping... something is going on in our house in terms of dishes. It seems as if everyone (except me) has abandoned doing them. I am seriously considering joining in with the seeming choice not to do dishes so I can see if anyone realizes there's a problem. Even if everyone puts their stuff in the dishwasher... that would help. it used to be that whoever goes to bed last runs the dishwasher (which theoretically would already be loaded), but apparently that has stopped now, too. I got up this morning to a sink full of dirty dishes and pans AND a fully loaded dishwasher full of dirty dishes. Sometimes I run the dishwasher, but the older boys are sometimes up 2 or 3 hours past when DH and I retire (and they're always eating) so....
Tonight is bingo and pizza at church. Something I always find highly entertaining. And it means that dinner is taken care of, too. Oh! And no dishes!!! 🤣
Have a great day.
