First order of business: I’m sorry I didn’t answer the blog on Friday. I read all of your Friday Five things on my phone, but didn’t get to my computer to answer.

Happy Labor Day! I hope everyone is enjoying the day. Now let’s get to the Weekend Roundup. We had a good weekend. Going back, we had a nice, fun dinner with youngest and his wife for her birthday on Thursday night. While there, Youngest mentioned they may or may not have a pool party. It was dependent on Oldest and a software issue at his company — it’s a long story. But knowing the story, I figured the pool party was unlikely.

Friday, I decided to feed my sourdough starter to make bread later in the day, then I’d ferment it overnight in the fridge, shape it the next day and bake it. Then I did normal stuff, ran some errands, and all was going well. Then I got a message that the pool party was on for reals That was fine, but subsequent texts said Turbo requested cupcakes with sprinkles. Now this caught my attention because, obviously, only Grandma can do that. Grandma, however, also had a starter growing and needed to make the dough, and begin a couple hours of stretch and folds. I also needed to go to the some ingredients for the cupcakes in order to make from scratch so youngest could also eat them. Somehow, with all this going on, Grandma forgot she is not a youngin’ anymore. So Grandma decided that she could do it all.

Grandma did do it all, but then she sparked a massive nose bleed in the process and the various things that go with it. Long story short, at said pool party, I didn’t go in the pool. I was genuinely too tired and didn’t want to deal with another bloody nose. But I did have a blast anyway! Seriously. Turbo’s mom didn’t want to go in either, and we hung out in the house with Phoebe (my grand dog) and chatted without interruption.

Both the cupcakes and the sourdough bread were a hit. I’d brought the sourdough mostly for my daughter in law’s mom, who is limited in what breads she can eat. She was delighted, and dug in. But once she cut into it, then everyone was eating it. She was a good sport about that!

Also on Saturday, I got the results of my sinus CT scan. I have a deviated septum (duh, any idiot with a flashlight and eyes would know that) and a bone spur. That’s causing all the bleeding. I’m weirdly relieved because I kept wondering if I was doing something to cause it. I know that’s illogical, but apparently, I just like to take credit for everything, LOL.

By the way, there’s zero excuse for me having endured this for two years — if the original ENT had just done his job. But I’m fine, and this will get taken care of, so I plan to think of that doctor as little as possible. And try to keep Wizard from thinking of him at all, because his anger hits a lot higher on the chart than mine does.

Sunday was my first quiet day in quite a while. Wizard went racing, and I worked out, washed bedsheets, dusted, baked off my second loaf of sourdough…it was nice to have an easy day.

How was your weekend? Are you doing anything special for Labor Day?
