What are you doing today?

Always my least favourite household chore. I'm terrible at it. But since I wear more casual clothes in the office (like everyone else), no need for ironing anymore.

I go into work casual on a Friday, but Monday to Thursday is trousers and shirt attire. I can’t really get away with not ironing those as I’d look like I couldn’t be arsed. I don’t iron everything though, and don’t particularly enjoy it. My mother in law irons all the kids clothes. The worst thing I find to iron are bed sheets, I’d pay for someone to do those!
 
Recovering, pretending to do some work (but really we're taking kind of an extra day off), waiting on my Sonos order, sorting/fixing up some pics, will post in the vacation thread in a bit.

You iron bedsheets? Wow.

While I love the feel of freshly laundered, freshly ironed, cotton sheets, I'm damned if I will iron them.

That is up there with stuffing mushrooms; something that is quite wonderful to experience, but not for me, not as an act of labour.

No need to iron the bedsheets. We don’t get any visitors in the bed!

I told my wife if we ever win the lottery, we are going to hire someone to come in and change the sheets daily. :D

That's my fantasy. Because I although I actually love doing laundry, I hate dealing with sheets. Cleaning, folding and changing them. I would mos def hire someone to take care of that once I finally hit the big one.

Funny, if I won the lottery I’d not have anyone round to deal with the laundry. We don’t like people here now. That wouldn’t change if we were millionaires. Just the neighbours would be much further away!

I hate folding sheets. Tried to get the wife to embrace the whole off the bed, into the washer/dryer and then back on the bed. Wife not a huge fan of this idea.

We wouldn't buy an extravagant house. Just big enough to require daily service. Probably have them clean and sort while we're out or away in another part of the house. I would probably never cook again (not that I do much "cooking" now), just eat out or have meal prep done for us that would only require some basic heating/light cooking.
 
Had an early afternoon business meeting ... here ... *snicker*

Beach was __huge__ for our neck of the woods, water was beautiful today.
 
Man a first a skunk started crossing the bike path as we were going past at 18mph. he turned around and his tailed was raised and it was like Oh s*it but no spray. maybe use to that. but its the first I have seen round those parts. lots of homeless around there. we did smell some skunk coming back so maybe someone got blasted but it was not as strong as it would have been if it was on the path.
 
Unexpected UPS delivery!

My order from Stone Street Coffee (flavored whole bean, Ginger Bread and Chocolate Raspberry Truffle, max flavor option), and also got a box of their K-cups for the road (next week, surprise trip :D) I got a notice it was a little delayed (they got overwhelmed with orders), but hadn't noticed it actually did ship.

Also, Wife has a friend in the wine business, we got another box of their micro/organic white selection. Woot woot!

The UPS dude looked like he was about to die, offered him a water .. then a beer ... he apparently stopped, bought a big cooler filled it with ice, water, sports drinks, pretty good pay for a driver, but wow, these 100° days in a big, hot, no AC truck must be brutal.
 
Having an insanely fun Dad's Day!

Lots of food and drink, I was asked what wanted for dinner, out, cook, etc., and I chose ... wait for it ... turkey dinner! Hahaha, we usually only have it for fall/winter holidays, but I'm getting an amazing looking turkey (just did a huge breast), J's famous mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, woot! Going to bust out some Maine Beer for dinner, but also chilled some wine.

Got a neat collection of shower bombs (all organic sourced type ingredients), a bottle of Maple Old Fashioned from RUNAMOK (which has become an amazing go to for gifts, it's boutique maple syrups, used for mixed drinks too), and I've been talking about about a new, ultra compact wallet and had been looking at Ridge, so the wife got me the Carbon 3K Weave model, it's beautifully cool :D

Watching some movies, I knocked around in the yard an hour or so (went off on the palmetto beds), which is oddly relaxing (even though I'm all hacked up, hahaha ...), been mixing and drinking up, at this rate, with the turkey, wine, chill day I'll be asleep by 8p :D
