gaylem. I don't know if this would help your situation: I made a couple of DIY air conditioners by cutting holes in styrofoam coolers, putting a fan on the top hole, and frozen gel packs inside. They each cool the rooms I have by 2 degrees. I watched a couple of videos on youtube to see which method I wanted to use. They really help me, and those 2 degrees cooler help keep the real A/C from freezing up. I will make a third one, in a couple of days. TaDa's 1. Mailed a cheery package to someone I miss. She said she would wait 2 weeks to open it, in case of virus contamination on the package. 2. Gave a present to someone who needed a gesture of love. (And it helped me to give it, because I've been irritated with this person for a few days.) 3. Got my errands run before I was way past my limit of strength and energy. ToDo's Recover and eat and rest Write and send a business letter for someone Have a little recreation

Hello July weekend WITty peeps! July already.
Ta-da: Yesterday took all the rest of the bags of dirty litter, a gross litter box, containers, and some regular trash to the landfill. Stopped at a nursery/farm market and just realized I forgot to look at one thing I wanted from there (mint plants). I did get some nice tomatoes, peaches, cherries, blackberries and a small succulent for this cute container that was a gift. I was glad to have a quick look around a place I had never been. Will return sometime. Fed cats/fat cat meds. Breakfast/coffee.
To-do: Keep hand washing work clothes. Work on project 1 hour. Dishes. Work on project 1 hour. Scoop. Work on project 1 hour.
That all feels very ambitious. I really want to go back to bed!
