My sister arrived yesterday. I made a nice dinner and had it waiting for them.
I went home and DD and I hung out for a bit. I treated myself to take out dinner and a small frozen margarita. DD stayed with her BFF last night so I hung out in the guest room and slept there, Very comfy mattress.
I am working from home today - it is hard to be on calls with the dog barking like crazy I am trying to wash my bedding but I messed up the plug to the washer and I cant get it plugged back in.
I will mow the lawn over lunch, maybe - or at least shower.
I did get the recycling and garbage out.
I am still a bit overwhelmed. I stand here and dont know where to start so i head to the low hanging fruit.

Well, the good news is, the downstairs is still very cool and comfy. Upstairs isn't too bad, I haven't even had to turn the window unit on yet, but it's getting to be that time.
The bad news is that when I stopped for lunch, I took a list I found while sorting out some old paper and got lost on YouTube. This list was from when I was giving away my record albums, knowing there wasn't much chance of me playing them again. But I kept a list of all the albums that had one really good song on it, usually by one-hit wonder bands, but not always. I figured that at some point I would either buy the song on Amazon, or at least listen to them on YouTube. Well...talk about a trip down memory lane, I could have listened to these songs all afternoon. Songs mostly from the 80s, when there was so much exciting new music around. Sometimes the rest of the album was really bad, but there was always one song that I couldn't play enough.
Does anyone remembers these: Time and Space by Flesh for Lulu/Just Got Lucky by JoBoxers/Don't Try to Stop It by Roman Holliday/Open Your Eyes by Lords of the New Church/Fire in the City by The Elvis Brothers/Robots by Kraftwerk
The next fun thing will be to look these band members up and see what they look like today.
Okay, I have to put this list away now, maybe some day when I have nothing to do and some extra bucks I'll go on Amazon and see if any of these are available as MP3s. But right now I have to turn on the AC and do some work.

Oh, and have a mentioned how much I hate Comcast? I got an email from them today saying they are sending their latest Channel Lineup and Price Listing with this email. If you want to receive a print copy, click here.
When I click there, I get a message "this page cannot be found."

That sounds about right.
Good afternoon everypony!
Diane I imagine I have heard those songs... gonna head to YouTube later and look them up. So much is uploaded there, I have never not found something I was looking for.
JL got mad at me and gave my bed away to somepony else, so I've been stressing out about that. Gonna crash with the DSILx3. Meanwhile, I haven't done a lick of packing. Had to go to the courthouse today to say "I do" to being the administrator. Made me sad.
Now the cat is on my lap.
ALSO DONE: called re: porta johns
NEXT UP: text V whine on my blog

Good afternoon scholar!
I just took the dog out and watered, it's hot but not as hot as a I expected. The first floor is still comfortable, and I've had the upstairs AC on so it's okay too.
Well, I left a message for the attorney's assistant to call me back and she didn't, I know she leaves at 4:30 so unless she's working overtime I won't get a call today.

Good afternoon all Diane you should write a little book on your Comcast experiences!! MamaAngie hope you are having a fun vacation. Today was a nice day. I had four meetings. they were only a half hour each. One was very useful and ended after about 15 minute and I received information that i need. One --- Chaos called it but she never showed up. Texted halfway through that she'd have to reschedule. So we had been doing some mom talk while we waited. Another one was only 20 minutes. and one was the full thirty. So for me not bad1 I just took puppy for a walk but I thought it had cooled down more and it was still 80 even this late so I took a shorter walk and tried to pick a shady route where her little paws could always be on the grass. Took DD to work. Around lunch DD came down and said we were out of toilet paper! So at lunch we headed out, I dropped off some donations, we mailed a return at the post office and stopped at store, and I bought the necessary TP and some other stuff. I also sent an important email related to DD school, and called another place re DD activity. Spent part of the morning out back, just loving working at home. Heard today that we might be back in just a few weeks. I can't even think about it, my brain does not even accept it. Yesterday was a busy day at work and then I had to rush to get boycat in for his check up and I did the capture, the cage, the drive, just got there... and my appointment was for today!!! Thank God they squeezed us in! Truly a blessing as they were booked solid but took pity on the cat capture aspect of it all. So boycat is all up to date on his shots, had his nails trimmed, and had some little mats that were starting to form just above his tail removed. He is not a long hair cat but he is a little longer than a short haired cat. that is twice in one week in which I had a major date mess up!! I have to up my game. I have to start each day by reviewing my calendar to confirm what day it is (!) and then to see what is up. For the vet appointment, it was written correctly in my electronic and paper calendars. Next - not sure. I have a big and confusing work project due next week, I could work on that but now that the work day is done that sounds less appealing! I just put puppy out. Felt bad as she wants me to play but I'd like to just be for a bit.

Good day scholar and bree!
Will carry over my wish to-do list, that is above and beyond my daily elite list, to tomorrow. I stopped working to make dinner and watch a show with dh.
I have felt better in the last 2 days than I have in over a year. Doc says he has heard anecdotal accounts of people with long haul covid getting better after their vaccine. I tested negative every time I was tested for covid and even tested negative for the antibodies when he checked those as he was considering long haul covid. I will be ecstatic if this has been the issue and the vaccine clears up my symptoms. We have done extensive testing and nothing has come of it so it would be a god-send.
Diane had a more comfortable day, yay! Had to deal with comcast, boo!
Glad you had a good meeting day bree! and double glad the vet took boy cat for you... cat capture is not always successful at my house since my cats were feral so I get it!
Sorry you had added sleeping arrangement stress on top of planning the whole memorial scholar. You have been a rock star doing so many "scary" things. I've noticed.
Have a great night everyone! to do calendar, charge, tea, meds, med

they were booked solid but took pity on the cat capture aspect of it all.
That was very nice of them! I'm annoyed with myself for ordering outlet extenders without checking carefully about what I need. I got three 6-outlet things that plug into a two outlet spot, but I can't use two of them. I didn't realize one spot where I needed them isn't 3-prong, and another one was going to be by the sink outlet but it never occurred to me that the GFCI buttons in between the 2 outlets would make the sizing wrong. So now I have to buy more extenders.
I did get a laugh though, in my last session with the old paper I found the lyrics I wrote for this site, some years ago people were supposed to take their favorite Christmas carol (or maybe it was any song and I just chose a Christmas carol) and revise the lyrics to make them SOOS relevant. Does anyone else remember that? This old paper is so distracting, I keep reminiscing about stuff.
I'm eating dinner, I'm starting to feel sleepy so I think I'll wind down for the day and get to bed early again. I'm relieved that today wasn't as bad as I expected, but I still have to sleep downstairs and get through most of the day tomorrow before the AC unit is installed.
Have a good rest of the evening everyone, see you in the morning!
Diane

PS, I heard the same thing about people with long-term Covid complications feeling better after the vaccination! In fact, TML said she had the same experience! That was a while ago, I don't know if the improvement continued--we can ask her when she comes back to post again.
Whatever the cause, I'm so happy to hear you're feeling better. Long term health issues really take a toll.
