This Week

My dad has been sick the last couple days so I've been spending a lot of time checking in on him and making sure he's ok. He's doing a bit better today. His main concern is that his grandson is coming for a visit. He's arriving sometime today. Looks like I'm going to have to entertain him for at least a couple days until my dad gets back on his feet.

I finally finished reading The Sword of Shannara Trilogy by Terry Brooks. It's part of a wonderful fantasy series. It's sort of like Lord of the Rings, but set in the distant future after a war that destroyed almost everything on earth. It took a long time to read (almost 1200 pages) but was well worth the effort. Now I've started reading The Heritage of Shannara series. There's over a dozen books in the entire Shannara series. Looks like I might be busy for a long time. Good thing I'm retired again…

My friend, Deb, has a day off work on Friday so she says she'll come over and we can start demolition. We'll rip up the vinyl flooring in the dining room. Hallelujah! That vinyl has been one of those things that make me cringe. It'll finally be gone. We'll also tear out the carpet in the living  room. Then we can prep the floor and I can put down the new tile. YIPPEE! I'm thinking we should just go ahead and rip out the carpet in the master bedroom while we're at it. I want to tile that room too and I might as well do it all at once.

I might not make it to Busch Gardens this week unless I take my dad's company over.
