No tutoring this week, so my days are all mine. It has taught me that I will switch to afternoon tutoring next Fall. After all the years of heading out to the office early, I just like my pj time each day too much - LOL. I am using part of that time to do my "core" exercises for my back. If I do these later in the day, I get acid reflux, so it's better to do them on an empty stomach. I bought a slab of 3" upholstery foam to lay on to do these - it hurt too much to lay directly on the rug.

Tuesday morning was a haircut time. Been growing it out and it was pretty scraggly. I had the stylist leave the longer hair on crown so I have something to work with, but get the neck stuff off for Summer heat. In the afternoon it was time for the first nature walk of the year with the Grands. Weather is in mid-50s for remainder of week, so I'll be inside mornings sewing a few warm weather pieces.

The garden "cages" I made to keep the squirrels from digging up seeds actually worked! I checked the raised bed and they had dug holes everywhere else. I need to check some chemical at the seed store which would totally deter them. When I put in new plants, I get up the next morning and find them ripped right out of the ground - grrrr.

Off to make my morning oatmeal, then to the shower. DS is stopping by later to go over what painting still needs to be done in the house.
