J. and I have started maintaining a running list of 'projects'. Things that need doing that are bigger than the day-to-day stuff. Writing it down and keeping an eye on that running list will hopefully help us tackle things as we can. When timing of activities, events and inertia create a vortex we can fill with doing stuff.
Today, we focused on things that required the ladder. Replaced both climate control filters in the overhead vents in the hallways. Cleaned the front door which has only ever been cleaned as high as I can reach so it was long overdue for attention to the top. Removed some mud dauber nests above the windows on the back patio.
We feel accomplished!
The cats thought having the front door open was an invitation to head out so they did. J. kept an eye on them. They did leave the front porch and walked a bit on the rock - mostly just looking around a bit. If only we could guarantee they'd never wander very far but we can't so...they will not be out like that often.
Guacamole and chips is lunch for me and J. is eating a leftover chicken avocado burger. Hello Fresh gave us a huge discount for coming back so we have Hello Fresh dinners on deck for the rest of this week.
The local Carson casino I play at weekly has a topped out Grand jackpot on Dragon Link ($18,888.88) so I've played a fair amount there this past week. Met my tier point requirement there as well so will stay at that level through January, 2023. Nice! After being in 'hot pursuit', I'm going back to the normal play. Will maybe throw in a Friday night - they have drawings weekly on Fridays and Saturdays and my friend L. convinced me to stay on Saturday - I won $100 in free play and had an absolute blast. Played until 9ish. I lost a lot that day - no surprise - that's what drawings are designed for, right? Pour a ton of money into playing while you wait for your name to be called. But it was OK because I played on Sunday a good chunk of the day and had an unbelievable come back - including a $2,160 hand pay! It was an awesome day and the slots were the loosest they've been in ages. It was an epic recovery and I an very grateful.
We will venture to Atlantis for our weekly free play and free food on Thursday - it's a gift giveaway so we switched to Thursday to claim those gifts instead of our usual Wednesday. We are also at Atlantis on Saturday night for a 'Paint & Sip' event - creating a work of art while enjoying appetizers and drinks. Sounds fun!
Easter will be super low key - no special meal planned. It's just the two of us - I think I'll make popovers as a special breakfast treat and we'll eat either leftovers or a Hello Fresh meal. We did a good stock up shop so we have plenty of food.
Yesterday, there was an unexpected freak snow storm that dumped 7 inches of new snow on Mt. Rose and left snow on the ground here for a bit. It snowed buckets for about 30-40 minutes. The ground wasn't cold enough for the snow to stick around much. Crazy Nevada weather!
Our new neighbors are here to check out the house and at the moment, we couldn't leave 'cuz there are cars everywhere as all the other neighbors stop to say 'Hi'! I love our neighborhood SO MUCH!!
