, so that will be my plan for Friday! My husband is taking the day off too, so it’ll be a family game day. 
that’s hilarious! Your neighborhood sounds fun!
There’s always something going on & our neighborhood watch is unmatched. 
Thank you so much for the shoutout 
I had someday today lol, the filling I have in one of my back teeth came out today when I was eating an almond 
the nerve was all exposed and it was like someone was drilling in my head 
I’ve put a temp filling in just now until I get a dental appointment, the nerve is fine now thankfully I’m just a bit tender now. On the plus side though I made an awesome chicken arrabbiata in the slow cooker and my daughter gets to go back to figure skating training full time now that lockdown has lifted a bit 
) 
Enjoy the day!
Although I’m sorry to hear about the new ulcer- may it heal up speedy quick for you 
Lovely that you got to spend some fun time exploring with your friend. Hope the rest of the week goes well- enjoy it! 
I’m glad they were able to get the temp filling in quick- hopefully you can get an appointment to have it fixed up for good asap! 
in the fire pit! All in all we had fun! Our neighbor came buy and played some guitar! My husband is a dead head. Our friend new how to play fleet wood mac Gypsy! I heard that song and my whole face lite up! That song always makes me want to dance! It was a good night on Sunday!
