The week started with some craziness. All the gaskets on the pool equipment seem to have gone at once. I was trying to debate replacing a temperature sensor that was leaking, but went to Lowe’s instead and got one of those rubber gasket multipacks, and solved the leak. Let me feel very accomplished.

This week Junie started bleeding again so we took her to the vet. She has 3 more bleeding growths that need to be removed so we set her up for surgery. Poor guy.

On Wednesday I made a last minute decision to see a movie and saw “Two Sleepy People”. It’s an Austin indie movie. I was really glad I saw it. A chatty relationships movie is completely up my alley. Thanks to Julie for getting me a Regal Unlimited pass. I’m definitely taking more chances in movies. In it one of the women bemoans divorce because “she raised” her husband. And man that was a really sympathetic line.

Friday we watched the Olympics opening ceremony as a family. Saturday Cal had Solo & Ensemble for Choir. He drove himself so we got to sleep, which was heavenly. Then off to UT for Texas Preview. We saw presentations from the Colleges of Liberal Arts, Communications, and Natural Sciences. Stella joined us at the end and we ate lunch at Kerbey Lane. There was a waiter assignment error and we ended up waiting way too long for our already late lunch. We got home and tried to fix our dishwasher before having our neighbors over for game night.

By this point my foot had had it. I’m trying to get the swelling back down and eat less salt this week.

We got the dishwasher fixed this morning. Trying to see glass in the bottom of a dishwasher pump well is really difficult. But Julie got it out and all is well. Finished weeding the cheat grass out of our buffalo grass and got all my seeds planted.

Now it’s time for Elizabeth Street’s “Chicken and Rice Soup” I made and more Olympics.
