You're more than welcome. I hadn't even known there was a July Challenge thread till someone mentioned it here a couple days ago. While I did keep up with dishes and litter boxes, July was not a 'get a lot done' month. I'm hoping August will be better.
Done: -watering in front -took out contents of top shelf of fridge's freezer, and tossed some unknowns. -sorted through much of second freezer shelf to 'good enough'. Found what I needed
todo: -food prep - 2 tasks -clear area in front for mulch delivery (order on Monday) -cat maintaining (litter, toys)

goldenthreads, i thought the sky would fall if I put hand dish liquid in the dishwasher, flooding the K with suds. So cool. Hi erniethecat and BetsyMarie Sat TaDa Empty load run DW, squirt 1, drain, on squirt 2 I put finish tablets in the closed compartment, but generally use cheapo dollar gen DW liquid in the open tray, and refill it after 1st drain. We shall see the results. Decided it would be best to get dishes out of my literal way before working on the fridge. No idea where I will put them all. Finger to chin, tap tap tap As I was done loading, found some dirties on top of the fridge, everything but a tuna salad bowl fit.

erniethecat I share your delight in this. I have two or three moments of genius per year, and HERE is the best place to publicly announce these mental feats! ClimbingPyramids I get pleasure out of my kids' writing, including their texts. Also guilty of monitoring their English as they grew. Not sure an apology is necessary, but it's worth checking on. mouseanne It's Ally who gets the credit for the tip about squirts of Dawn in the DW. I can tell you that filling the cups with laundry detergent will give you a festive display, though. Deposited check. Got good packing tape to redo the boxes. Started filling a bag of things for tomorrow's big storage transfer. Put some task items in the rented SUV. Wash dishes. Make bed, and have meds. Add gas to car. Probably won't; still have 200+miles of range.

It's so fun to see it so busy here! I think I've made a decision about the grocery store - as I only have coffee, milk and distilled water so far, I think I'll go to CVS and call it done!
23. Get car ready to pick up makings of porch swing tonight (hopefully!) 24. Get "CVS appropriate" dressed 25. Go to CVS!

erniethecat, your roomba plays hookie? Fail, don't try it. The IP signaled burn. I guess even on steam, enough liquid didn't release fast enough to cook the zuch. Tranfereed to stove top. Ate the "burned" bits at the bottom. Delish. The frozen cooked patties were soft enough to chop, did so.

Ok. The lunch, yummy.
When I got out the saucepan, found the corelle in the pan cupboard.
It's bits and bobs of 4 different patterns, so nothing to write home about. K, it'll be donated.
