Bizarre Day that Ended Well

I plopped down to myLot today, but that didn’t go well.
Our son came bearing gifts ~ heirloom tomatoes and fresh mozzarella cheese to go with the basil plant he grew for us. I didn’t tell him that I had plenty already.
He’s so thoughtful and loving. He stayed for 2 hours.
But that’s not all that happened.
Our generator, which we used last night due to a power outage, was picked up for servicing.
Then our new lawn was mowed. We had to wear masks and explain that they had to take it easy on the lawn. We kept our eyes on those maniacs.
When we thought we were in the clear, our deck contractor dropped off a load of supplies in our driveway. That took forever and a day!
As soon as I finally sat down to myLot and take a load off, my granddaughter called to announce that she can do double flips or axels or whatever on the ice now. I spent time waiting for and watching her video, watched it twenty more times with hubby, and sent it to family members who are her biggest fans.
So, I’m here to find out how your day has been. Oh. I can’t wait for Friday date night and my martini!

@DianneN That is nice of him not to want to take your money. I am sure you would do the same for him as well.

@DianneN yeah, I will give you that one. I'm sure you'll find a way to get it done. I have to do the laundry tonight. Which I honestly don't mind. It'll get done.

I spent the first half of my day with my husband. He is working tonight so I will find things to entertain myself.

When things break, I guess they come in threes!

Well, the generator didn't break. Hubs wanted new spark plugs, cleaning, etc. for our NEXT power outage. That poor generator has gotten a workout since we bought it.
Thank you! I received a shipment of 8 containers of Lysol Wipes for our son - half for us - but he left for Vermont with his gf. I will have to save them for when he returns. My granddaughter works so hard. Now she can practice for hours every day, so that helps.

It’s good that behind the stresses of the days there were times that made your day lighter. Many events may have prevented you to do Mylot but l guess there are more important thing that you had to attend to first that added to what you post for today. I guess mine did well since it is a Friday in my place already. l did a small job with my ofc and later in the afternoon we have some meeting online and they were surprised to have made it there since l still am officially on leave still.

Oh what a day - so much going on in a day for you! I am assuming that the Ice PRincess can do a double axel now because that one is a big deal (but it could be double flip too . . . it's just that double axel is the super tough one).
SO
When you watch her video, when she actually jumps, does she jump FORWARD (kicking her leg up and jumping up forward into the air) . . . or does she put her leg back and picks the ice before jumping. It's the entrance of her jump that is the tell tale of what jump it was .
Tonight - Fridianne night!!!!!!!

@DianneN 
I hope you slept well last night ! 
Wait . . . so if she did not reach her foot back to pick the ice (with her toe picks) . . . then it is not a flip nor lutz . . . nor a toe loop (and yes, there are doubles of all the jumps). This can either be a double salchow (which is easy if she can already do a single axel) . . . or a double loop . . . or the biggest of doubles which is double axel. When they are rotating in the air, it's impossible to tell - all the same. I probably just confused you even more

Dianne does not enjoy more than one thing going on per day.
Thanks for your figure skating help yet again. I watched the video 8 more times and from what you said, it must be a flip from what you described. Is there such a thing as a double flip? She kept doing it over and over so quickly that I'm numb, blind, and confused. No picks in the ice at all.

@nawala123 Yes, it's fresh. I swear, I never had luck until this year. My son told me to give it a drink when dry and fertilize it. That did the trick!
