What Have We Been Doing Since We Got Home

We arrived home on Tuesday, September 29, 2015.  When we got to Perry, we stopped at Walmart and unhooked the pickup and took the tow bar off.  Next we drove to the house and got the RV situated just right and Steve took off the satellite dish, so the RV would fit in the RV carport. 
We basically just unloaded a few necessary items and then rested. 
I started going through the mail and found papers from Oklahoma Publici Safety about Steve's Driver's License.  The doctor has to fill out papers each year since he has MS in order for him to continue to drive.  Well we didn't get them in time - so we were in a panic.  We called them and they said just get it done and turned in.   So while I was working on the mail, Steve cleaned the refrigerator again (we had cleaned it before we left).  It seems that while we were gone, some mice took up residence and made themselves a happy home here.
The next day, we started cleaning the kitchen and all the cabinets and dishes, and swept the floors all over the house.  I also tried to get an appointment at the VA for Steve to get his drivers license paper completed.  Well no one returned our call - even after leaving 2 messages.  So I called again the next day, and finally called the patient advocate and got a return call to set the appointment.
On Friday Oct. 2, 2015 I got a perm and haircut, Steve also got a haircut.  We also did laundry.
Saturday, Oct 3, 2015 - we watched Football. On Sunday - we drove to Oklahoma City and watched Logan play soccer and visited Nancy at Southpoint Rehab.  We took the kids to lunch at Charleston's - it was a little expensive-not sure we will return there. When we got home - we watched more football.
On Monday, October 5th - we celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary with a trip to the VA for two doctor appointments.  We also stopped at Walmart in Edmond and got groceries.  When we got home we were pooped - so we didn't do much else except watch TV.
On Tuesday, October 6th we hauled off branches and some other stuff to the junk yard.  This kept us busy. Wednesday - I got my hair colored and when I got home Steve had raked the yard.  I helped him bag all the stuff up and we got rid of that.  Thursday found us mowing the yard in front.
Friday it rained in the morning and Steve cleared some weeds in the back yard. We updated Quicken with all of Steve's bank statements. 
Ok now we are back to the week-end and time for more Football!  On Saturday, Steve did work on his pickup brakes, checking to see if they needed new pads.  They didn't but he did clean the ones on the back and they stopped squealing.  We did 2 months of my bank statements in Quicken also today.  We did not do much on Sunday except watch football and do some minimal chores.
Today - Monday, October 12, 2015 - I sorted a whole bunch of clothes out of my closet and took them to the Salvation Army at Stillwater.  We also did our grocery shopping and called it a day.
Wow! Where does the time go when you are having fun.
On Tuesday, October 13, 2015 - I will return to my regular job.
