hi everypony!
I took a nap... portajohn people woke me up. apparently I was supposed to email them a map. fortunately I could send the one I made yesterday.
I'm getting close to being done packing, except for food. Now is the loading part. but I am still in my jammies! so a shower before that.
I am getting anxious as the deadline is looming! hate this part. I tend to go into freeze. which of course makes me more anxious!
going to try hopping in the shower without thinking...

Diane, I think you were working with the handyman the day I opened the bookcase packages, checked for damage/missing (which I had - the height extensions are missing- reported within the required 48 hours - woohoo), and put the case parts together on Wed. I still need to put the doors on but need dh for that, so it won't be until a week from tomorrow when I look at his schedule.
You got this scholar. We are with you in spirit.
completed list plus organized closet that was starting to lose organization - decluttered 3 items ordered push light for closet ate lunch
to do
litter, cat food/water NAP! prep dinner/ tomorrow's lunch drive thru bank dust, sweep, mop, PUPA bedroom

Happy Friday everybody! peaceseeker - glad you’re feeling better- that’s been a long haul mylittlescholar from what I’m reading, if I’m piecing it together correctly, you are going away this weekend where you’re hosting DXH‘s memorial? I hope it goes well; I know you’ve been working a lot on it ohblondie your picnic sounds tasty Diane - any word on the birds? So I have today off from work, which is really nice and right now I have the house to myself -the cats are sleeping somewhere but the puppy and the girl are gone it’s rare to have the puppy gone, she is at daycare, it’s a nice break so I’m trying to do things that I can’t easily do with the puppy around -one would be lying on the couch reading a book but I’m trying to be more productive than that! I spent about an hour gardening this morning. I swept the deck, arranged the rug out there. Pulled some weeds, trimmed some more bushes, uprooted some grapevines -many years ago a neighbor had grapevines and they are here now to stay and they’re always trying to get into my bushes and strangle the life out of them. my former neighbors never took care of their yard and I was always very vigilant Along the border between our yards, Always on the lookout for vines and weeds and trimming and cutting. they moved and the new neighbors take care of the yard so there’s less of a problem but I still found some sneaky grapevines -they are amazingly powerful and strong after that I drove DDto a Get together; school is over. I hope next year is a nice normal one for these kids!! I did a load of laundry and put away the clean dishes. I ran some errands this morning after I dropped puppy off at daycare. I bought some treats for the vet which took my cat on the wrong day then I bought a cup of coffee and I sat in my favorite park for a bit. it’s kind of funny -I used to walk in the park all the time till I had a dog; now I walk the dog all the time but she’s too little for that park- she gets too excited when she sees people and dogs. some people let their dogs run off leash there which could be a real disaster for us as she gets so excited that sometimes she manages to pull out of her collar when another dog is near her I think I need to move the laundry forward next. I need to vacuum because that’s very hard to do with puppy and I just want to clean up the kitchen and dining room — two “public” rooms and they’ve just been a real mess lately. Yesterday my garbage disposal broke which is unfortunate -at least I think it’s broken -it just makes that humming noise. I looked up on YouTube and I tried the DIY fixes. nothings worked /it may be that it just wore out, I think it’s pretty old so I might call my plumber and see how much that is. yesterday, the water wasn’t going down the sink which is really gross but today the water seems to be running so I’ll see how much a disposal is and consider. It comes in really handy when I’m cleaning out the cat food dishes in particular.

Having a great day not as productive as it should be but so nice just to sort of be by myself and not have to do anything for anybody
I did go wash some of the basement walls -when my plumbing was done and they removed some shelving -there was some mold on the wall behind it -so I was scrubbing -that the plumber said it could be scrubbed off
I am working on moving the laundry along and I also made some cookies in an unexpected burst of domestic energy. it’s not so hot here today so I could have the oven on
otherwise I’m looking at my vacuum thinking I should be using it

The handyman showed up early afternoon and the A/C guys about an hour later--the handyman finished his work and went home, and the AC guys have a couple more hours of work before the new unit is in.
It's comfortable here in the porch room, but of course, the rest of the house is hot--and I have to actually close the dog in here with me because she wants to roam around but then she pants like crazy.
I'm grabbing a bite to eat now before I go back down and see how they're doing downstairs. This will be another day with not much accomplished, but I will be so happy when this project is over!

Well I just pulled almost every shirt out of my closet and tried them on. My daughter gave her thumbs up or down. I was surprised how many really did not fit or look good. I think about half of the shirts are going.
Gotta keep moving!!

The BIG storm last night didn't happen here. North of us got some quarter size hail, but all we got was about an inch of rain over a few hours.
I caught lots of rainwater. 3 ice cream pails, 2 plastic Kool-Aid pitchers, and a small waste basket full! 👍 I'd much rather water plants with rain than tap water.
Went to a few garage sales. Kind of blah today. My best purchase was a cold bottle of water a boy sold me and 2 homemade oatmeal raisin cookies at the next sale! 🍪🍪☺
Mailed my credit card payment.
Gave my older neighbor lady the garden ornaments I bought at a sale the other day. She was thrilled and stuck em in her garden right away! 😀
Diane, Im glad they're making progress on your central air!

Finished! They are finished, now I have to begin the process of relaxing from the stress of this whole week.
Actually, first I have to get the dog to go out and do something--I took her out a couple of times and she refused to do anything, maybe because of the excitement of people being here. But she's panting like crazy with any exertion. Now that everyone is gone I'll try taking her out in the yard again. It will mess up our usual schedule, but I'm not anywhere near ready to go to bed at my usual time, I'm sure I'll be up a couple hours later than usual so I'll take her out again right before I go to bed.
Diane
