I know, my subjects stink. LOL

Saturday was fun. I chatted most of the day with a friend of mine on facetime. However, while i was chatting, my neighbor texted me to see if I was aware contractors were coming to do work on our condos. Nope! So yeah, apparently they are, and I had to get my outdoor furniture in. I knew it was about time to do it, the weather has turned off colder, but I didn't have it on the agenda for last weekend!

Sunday was busy. I did get the furniture put away. Thankfully, I could do the majority of it myself, and when I couldn't do my neighbors helped with the rest. Honestly, the swing was the only thing I couldn't get in myself. It's too big and cumbersome. After that though, I had received my Nest thermostat on Saturday, and as I looked at it I thought, wonder if I had sighted assistance if I could do this myself? Sure enough, I called Aira, for those who don't know it's a visual interpreting service, and I spoke to an agent who said he was absolutely comfortable with helping me complete this task. I don't know how long it took, but what I do know is by the end of it all, my shiny new nest was up and running. I would have never thought in a million years that me as someone who is blind would ever do that kind of project on my own with the help of someone on the other end of my smart phone. What a world we live in!

Monday, I had a hair appointment, and then I went to my mom's house. We had dinner, made pumpkin bread, yes I brought some home, and watched Monday Night football. It was a nice visit. Oh and Mom introduced me to a dangerous adult drink. It's called a caramel apple mule. I plan to have the stuff to recreate this thing on Friday!

Yesterday and today haven't been much to speak of... just some work related things and/or boring adulting things like laundry.

I'm not sure what's on tap for the remainder of the week, but honestly if there's not much I'm okay with it. I'm not the type who has to be out and about all the time.
