The Shafferland Shuffle

* Last Sunday was THE most perfect day. We slept in and went to church...service was wonderful...including communion at the end. We spent the ENTIRE afternoon in the pirogi...eating our grilled lunch and patriotic ice cream sundaes...and taking a nap. We went for dinner at Culvers {for a treat} and took a walk in the evening...it was just a wonderfully perfect day.

* Monday, Ryan had to work and I stayed home. I missed him like crazy while he was gone, but I was very productive with chores around the house. {Redoing my nails WAS included in the list of chores, thankyouverymuch.} When he got home, we went for a run and then grilled hot dogs and potatoes and had little patriotic ice cream sammiches...and took another nap in the hammock. Then I lost him to the Pacers game {speaking of losses...}...a well-deserved break for him since he worked so hard.

* Tuesday was back to work day...back to therapy for Ryan and back to the board for me! I was working at my desk that afternoon when I heard what sounded like a bird chirping LOUDLY. Looked outside - little chipmunk!! He even posed for me! We didn't do much when we got home. Ate dinner in the pirogi, watched the Duggars and - oh yes! America's Got Talent is back!! SO. MANY. LAUGHS!!!

 * Wednesday was a hard day for my heart - just lots weighing in right now - and it was such a sweet surprise when one of my friends surprised me by sending flowers to me at work. I ADORE flower deliveries, so that was a huge smile-maker in my day! It was raining when we got home, so we hunkered down for good talks, the Pacers game, and keeping an eye on Miss Neighborhood Watch. {She imagines herself helpful.}

* Thursday we had a video shoot at work for a quick new video...and I did a little photo shoot in the van while we waited for the next scene! My buddies Jeri and Lynne. :) That afternoon, while I waited on Ryan to get home from mowing the other house, I went for a run and ended up by the prayer chapel...just saying thanks for all the answered prayers. Later that night, we went for a walk and went inside just to pray for a while. I so love that place.

* Friday...y'all...I came down with a cold. Who isn't happy about this? ME!!! It's been going around at work for a few weeks now and I've managed to avoid it and then BOOM. Sick. Boo. I had to answer the phones for Mid-Morning that day as all three of our phone operators were out...so that was a different way to spend the show! I did get a treat of a free iced coffee though! And that night was date night...Applebee's and Lowe's with this handsome man!

* Yesterday was a mix of sickness and work. I was SO OUT OF IT for most of the day, due to taking all the Quils (Day and Ny). I took four naps, but when I was awake...I managed to paint our entire porch, which was peeling badly after a winter filled with much shoveling and scraping. Ryan worked, so when he came home, he planted grass in the areas where our yard had been dug up for the plumbing...and then we went for a walk and for frappes...because you feed a cold, right??
