Surviving the Week by Myself: Day 2

Today was a bit rougher than yesterday, but we still survived.  

I had two handy men at the house most of the day installing our new door.  This may not be the most exciting home improvement, but I am really happy with the new door.  It lets in a lot of light, so much light that you can even tell from the main floor.  Also, the glass can be switched out for a screen door, so we will be able to enjoy the breeze this summer.  The two guys also hung our shutter that fell.  It was nice having this work done, but it was tiring trying to keep everyone happy locked up in my bedroom and still check on things with the guys.  There were no naps today.

Then, we took advantage of the 60 degree weather and went on a long walk with the dog.  Anna was in the Baby Bjorn so it was easier to walk Riley.  It was going well until we came across an older couple walking their grandchild.  Riley and I got off the main path to let them pass, just so we were out of the way, but then the couple stopped to tell me that I did not have to get off the path.  I told them that Riley was not always good on her leash and it was just easier this way.  Just then, a small dog jumped out of the basket under the stroller and Riley went crazy!  If only they had not stopped... move it along grandparents!

So it was another successful day and we survived, but we are tired.
