Well it is a long weekend for me.
And I am enjoying a cup of coffee on a porch looking at the ocean....sigh.....
Not much getting done at home but my soul is being restored.
Anyone in the Wilmington NC area? I have an extra rocking chair!

Good morning ohblondie! I was trying to think--wait, what holiday is it on Monday that I forgot all about! It sounds like you're enjoying your trip so far. The temperature in the apartment this morning is 66, so someone HAS to complain today--I know my apartment is cooler than most because I don't have good windows, but the third floor apartments are exposed to the wind and get cold quickly, so other people have to be uncomfortable by now. I tell you, I'm getting really disgusted by this building and the thought of moving to my sister's is looking better and better. I will have less room and her place is as shabby as mine, but at least decisions about the house would be made by the two of us together, and the plumbing all works! We were talking about air conditioning the other day when we had those two hot days, and when I said I liked it cooler than she did she reminded me that all the rooms had vents so if I lived out there I could have it as cool as I liked--she could close all the vents on the first floor and I could open all the ones on the second. I just turned the space heater on and it's half way between the cat table and bird cage, so hopefully it will help both the cat and the bird (and me when I'm sitting at the computer desk). Eating breakfast now, and thinking about all I'd like to get done today. I have one walk at 5:30. Diane

Hallelujah, the board finally emailed me to ask me to turn on the heat. About time, it's 51 at the moment. The radiators are heating up now, and I'm eating lunch.

Hi oust, I love having food all ready in the fridge to pop in the microwave! Okay, I have the big box of books ready for the UPS place, which is the far away place near Aldi. Hopefully that can be delivered Monday, if not, I have all the way to Friday for it to be on time. I'm going to rest my feet for a while now, I have a little over an hour before I have to leave for my walk. I feel sleepy, so I will not get too comfortable while resting. Diane

Ohblondie, I think I go by the library--if the library is open, it's not a holiday for me! I forgot there wouldn't be mail. I went to my walk, it's really blustery outside--I wore a very light sweatshirt and a light windbreaker and was afraid I'd be too warm, but I was cold--I could have used some light gloves. The apartment is comfortable now, in fact, I will probably shut off the bedroom radiator overnight so I don't wake up too warm in the middle of the night. Quite a difference from last night. I'm eating dinner now and will probably get ready for bed early, I'm tired today. I think I've had not quite enough sleep for several nights in a row and might need to catch up on an hour or two.

I seem to nap most days. Sleep is not a problem with me.
Steamed the sink and toilet Put dry dishes away Grabbed a few things for trash Put dirty clothes in a pile Put a sack of clean clothes away Looking at about 30 empty hangers. I should get his winter sweaters out.

Oust, being able to sleep is not my problem, my staying up too late and not wanting the day to end is my problem. I keep thinking of more things I want to do and suddenly it's too late. And I HATE waking up really late, so I get up in the morning whether or not I've had enough sleep. I don't like napping, I like to get my entire night's sleep at one time. I just need more discipline to get myself to bed on time.
TO DO:
Clean up from dinner Unplug heater and move, put extension cord away Give everyone fresh water Restock water in fridge
