Good morning!
Thanks for starting the weekend, lennon!
I couldn't fall asleep til almost midnight and woke up at 4:30 wide awake, but slept through in between. The dog had a 60-second panting session but then slept okay. I did think of something I did Thursday evening which could have upset her--when we went to the hardware store the handyman showed me the kind of drill bit to get for making drainage holes in my plant pots. It works beautifully on the unglazed pots, but not on the glazed ones--so I was trying to get it to make a hole in a glazed pot on the first floor so she would have heard the continuing drill noise and I know she doesn't like any kind of loud noise. So, I will have to close myself in a room upstairs to do any more pot drilling, or else go outside on the back porch, weather permitting. But I also have to figure out why the bit wouldn't work on the glazed pot.
I'm going to the library this morning but since I'm up so early I have almost 3 hours before I can go. I wish things opened earlier.
Enjoy the weekend!
Diane

Happy weekend all!
Done:
Built another bookcase, completing the trio in the bedroom
Reorganised wires and cables in the bedroom with new surge protector, including rearranging Christmas lights over new bookcase
Relocated stuffed animals to new bookcase, clearing top of my chests of drawers
Dusted other bedroom shelving
Put away laundry
Emptied bedroom trash x 2
Load of laundry for boyfriend
Finished off filling the trash bag with kitchen trash
Wiped down dining table after prepping brunch
Handled mail
Sorted a refund for mum's groceries
Boyfriend threw out some not comfy clothes
We were supposed to build the final bookcase today, but boyfriend was feeling sore after the first one so I called a halt after one as it was a good finishing place. I'd rather he stops with a sense of accomplishment and does more later rather than pushing through and resenting our ongoing home organisation activities! (He is absolutely like that with cleaning so I'm trying to cure it!)

Thanks for getting the weekend started lennon ! Hi Lennon, Reve, and Diane ! I am trying to type with help from one of the Kitties. Both are in the bedroom with me but one wants to dance on the keyboard. It is Caturday so I supposed it is allowed. I had to do the water bypass this morning as my water UV sterilization is shut down again. The filter still works but not the sterilization unit right now until they fix it. They just did my yearly upgrade. But why TML you ask do you need sterilization when you have town water and sewage. Well my town has many many boil bans but the kicker is that they officially call us and tell us via phone, paper, internet, about three days after they realize it. You get a message via phone about an incident has been noted last Thursday and a boil ban is now in place (usually in relation to the actual incident it would be Monday). I kept getting eye infections and without the filter the water was terrible and made the kitty fountain foamy. So we all drank bottled water until I got the filter and I added the UV to take care of the rest of it. At least I was not taking a shower when the water shut off. So this morning i bypassed the UV and it is back up and running. According to my contractor it seems to be related to when the city dumps a bunch of chlorine in the water and it messes with the UV system. So this morning I Restarted the water Took care of Kitties Picked up bathroom Checked on food order (added some more sale items) Picked up breakfast at fav Irish breakfast place - my usual Saturday or Sunday stop (one is Irish breakfast and the other is home made pancake and egg breakfast during weekend) Next up Put the trash cans back in the garage Start cleaning on kitchen And this weekend really sort through my clothes (I really need to start looking professional - it is time as every one at work is going back to pre-Covid attire as we are back on site) Oh on a side note there was a sale and I got 3 more pairs of thermal underwear. I got one of silk and 2 more of the midweight. I was thinking when it got really cold I would do silk, then midweight, then clothes. Heck if it gets really cold I will do silk, 2X midweight, and clothes. Today I just have on the midweight and clothes (the rest have not arrived) and it is pretty nice. |

Good morning reve and TML!
TML, the wash bottles that I use to water some of my plants get algae in them really quickly, I know it started with our tap water because it happened way before I started using rain barrel water for my inside plants. I will never drink tap water again if I can help it. I guess eye infections would be a good reason to not want tap water in your eyes while washing either.
I went to the library, also to the mailbox and to deposit my recycling paper in the library parking lot bin. The dog has been out already, she's going out earlier and earlier in the morning.
TO DO:
Call decluttering client Make some book notes Restock water in fridge Delete 10 hard emails

BRRRR - I finished my outside chores. I brought in the two large trash cans (trash and recycle). I also got the boxes off the porch. So now I am inside all day (including attached garage as inside as I have items to take care of out there too).

TML I'm sticking so hard to my resolution not to leave the house this weekend  I've got a fair bit of recycling that could do with a run to the recycling centre but nope, that can wait til during the working week. This is definitely a weekend for chilling in pyjamas, and after my last round of chores, I've lit a scented candle, drank some water and am sitting back to relax a bit. Done: Meal planned and ordered groceries Clean laundry taken upstairs Laundry from machine to dryer Load of laundry 2 Handled mail (again! I wish my Amazon orders would come together ) |

It's chilly here too, this morning there was a grey layer of frost on the lawns, which made me realize how mild it's been, I haven't seen frost in a while.
I spent the last hour working on my new file cabinet and adjusting some of my desk files. I'm still not done but it's time to feed the dog and then have my own lunch.

Ugh, the dog just wanted to go out at 6:00, that means our night time routine will be screwed up. Last time this happened it wasn't good. Hopefully she will have a good night and I will too.

Good morning!
Miraculously, the dog was fine last night, I went through our usual night time routine, just without the trip out at 8, and she was okay. I thought she'd want to go out immediately after breakfast, but no, not yet.
I hope to finish my Federal taxes today, and do some other challenge work too.
