My new plant is repotted, but I will need to get it in a bigger pot soon One load in the washer and one load in the dryer Dishes washed Some clothes put away Mom's shirts ironed - only a few more to go Mom taken to visit dad. this really takes 3-4 hours of my day. Today I made them play music bingo. The board consists of names of songs. A song is played and you cover that square. They both won!
It is still rainy out - and damp
We have a wake tonight, my Son-IL's grandfather passed. \ \OK - time for a 5 min chore

Good afternoon catcats!
I did go outside for 45 minutes, I was able to kneel for about 15 of those minutes for weeding. I looked around the back part of the yard and the Golden Alexander, yarrow, and monarda are all growing, maybe a foot high. In the front part of the yard the forking larkspur as been sprouting for a while now, also cinquefoil. And there's something that I think might be Black Eyed Susan, even though the same plants in another part of the yard are not growing yet.
Now I'm going to do some vacuuming and will make sure the that first floor is totally decluttered.

Ugh, there's a complication in the yard work for tomorrow. I tried to look up the cost of having the dirt delivered and from what I can tell it will cost more than double for the same thing I ordered 2.5 years ago. I'm not sure that I can afford that, so I feel like I have to think about this some more before doing it. There's other outside work the handyman can do tomorrow instead.

OMG, I need to go to bed and sleep. I read the information I saw online too quickly and got the price wrong, it looks like it didn't go up too much from last year, assuming I'm reading it correctly this time.
Three hours of disappointment and agitation for nothing...
Good night everyone, I'll check in some time tomorrow!

Well, Diane, at least you won't be paying so much more than last year ! That is sure a plus !
After supper, I talked on the phone with my BFF in CT. Then I wet mopped the kitchen and BR floors with vinegar. The kitchen will need another go-around soon.
My best wishes to all.

DH cooked today and washed the dishes I went to work and didn't get any work done at home afterwards. Not every day is productive I guess. DH got the mail. Good night all.

Claiming read back amnesty. Took day off work to deal with mess and disorganization and get ready to go out of town this weekend. My lack of motivation and energy is counterproductive. Hmmm… which game to play with myself? Race to 100? Ring around the house? Set a timer? I don’t know. Going to start pushing at 7:30 a.m… in15 minutes.

Wow TwinkleToes you are cranking ! catcats if I had ants in my mail box I’d be so scared to get the mail!! : ) Diane I think the one day here and there is a good idea I have a generous vacation policy so with good planning I could do both a week and days here and there. So I did my social event!!! Was very fun. My sis came along. Did involve three hours driving but I am so happy I went! today I am very tired but pleasantly so. And I took off work. And I have NO deadlines today. None. Not one!! That is so very rare for me!! I am going to relish this day of freedom. Only must do is the puppy walk. Yesterday I did vac living room, dining room, kitchen. Organized my tax file. Sorted, shredded and recycled two boxes of papers. Did dishes . Cleaned bathroom. Walked puppy Went ATM and gas station Drove 1.5 hours to other city Had splendid time Drove home I am having trouble getting quirky puppy to take her meds. She took two pills fine wrapped in turkey slices Third pill in turkey- nope Third pill in liverwurst( bought specifically for pill) nope Third pill in egg frittata nope Third pill in pancake w maple syrup (heated up specifically for pill) nope Each time she’d spit out pill! Finally another try w liverwurst and she ate it!!!

I forgot that yesterday I also returned bottles and stopped at library to donate eclipse glasses. Apparently they collect them and send them to the next area for disadvantaged school kids to use.
At the library I took out two books …I spend so much time watching reels (super short videos) that my attention span is now just seconds! I want to increase my reading and decrease my internet surfing. I was a voracious reader with a book or two always underway now I am a scroller! So that is a new challenge
Another gloomy rainy day here! But that is a cozy day to read!!!
And all the animals are napping… heaven!!
