Here’s to humpday.

I am really looking forward to my 4-day weekend this weekend! CT doesn’t know yet if he can get Friday off, so if he can’t, I guess we will go to the cottage as soon as he gets home from work. Otherwise, if he can get the day off, we will head up Friday morning.

We had a very productive weekend. On Thursday and Friday evenings, I did the mudding and sanding in the guest room. Saturday morning, CT and I painted the ceiling. My mom came over on Saturday afternoon for a bit to help me prime the walls. While she and I did that, CT worked in the backyard. He went nuts with the weed wacker, which is awesome because my backyard was an absolute jungle. He made such progress, it’s amazing. Then on Sunday, CT and I went to church and then did the first coat of paint in the guest room in the morning and the second coat in the evening. So, now all that is left to do in there is paint the trim, which we are going to do tomorrow evening. Then I can move the furniture back in and it will be all ready for my guests next weekend – yay! SOOOO looking forward to having my girls over. It’s been way too long! 2 months since our last visit.

CT’s cat Gino is currently staying at my place too. I wanted he and Smokey to meet before they are officially living under the same roof. Gino is not the most social cat, he hisses at Smokey. Apparently a couple of years ago, Gino had a bad experience living with a cat that beat him up. So, he’s not liking having Smokey around. So, when CT and I are not home, we have to separate the cats. But, I’m hoping with time, they can learn to co-exist and maybe even become friends. It just may take some time.

I had dinner with my ex-fiance’s mom last night. It reminded me that tomorrow will mark 4 years after the day I was supposed to marry her son. Hard to believe it was that long ago! A lot has happened since then. I am so thankful I didn’t marry him. I am MUCH better off now. And of course now I have CT, so everything is just peachy ;)

CT and I are going to take a trip together in October, so I am very excited about that. We are going to do a 1-week all inclusive resort on a beach thing. My top 3 destinations are: Punta Cana, Veradero, or the Mayan Riviera. I think Punta Cana is our first choice, we will have to discuss it further. I have been there before, but it was so beautiful, I would love to go back!

That’s the update from my side of the fence.
