Good morning!
I am counting on cooler weather this week--today's high around 85, tomorrow's 82. This morning when I took the dog out I looked at all the lawn areas, including the front, everything needs work. So if it's cool enough this evening I will start, otherwise tomorrow.
I also checked the store for water, still not in stock, so tomorrow I will plan a walk to the grocery store.
This week I need to call the doctor and ask what his next suggestion is, I haven't talked to him yet about my test results but they were posted in the patient portal, testing without IV contrast meant they couldn't see everything, and there was no resaon found for my symptoms with what they could see from that scan.
The handyman is probably coming back some time in the next couple of weeks, he still has a few things to finish up. And soon I need to call the roof people to clean my gutters and tell me if I should get chimney caps. And the furnace guy, who said to call in the fall to remind him that I need a new flue pipe. But today I will probably just recover from the horrible heat, and try to get the house back to uncluttered status.

Granting myself immunity from reading the end of last weeks workalong and the weekend workalong threads. I will go back later and get caught up.
Friday my son and I both (independently of each other) made eggs for ourselves for breakfast. We both got sick. He is 27 and was better by the end of the day. I wallowed around in full misery until saturday night. So frustrating - I felt like I was wasting so much time!
This week is the last week of working at home. Probably a good thing for me.....I was running out of things I could do from home. I am so caught up on things.....at paid work,
Sunday I felt great so it was back to housework. I did laundry, washed dishes, cleaned out part of the fridge. I pulled out drawers and scrubbed the insides. I cannot figure out how to get into the tracks for the drawers though. I also washed this random basket of laundry that has been sitting in my hallway for a year or so? I was working on clearing out stuff before I had to drop everything and move in with my parents. this has been sitting there the entire time. well it is in the wash and headed to the dryer.
I actually have a recipe for chicken and broccoli to make for dinner tonight. part of my eat healthy kick. I am counting on leftovers for work on tuesday.
Brought my parents out for ice cream on Sunday and drove by a friend's house (who lives out that way and they had never seen the house). the friends were actually home and came out to day hello. Drive in ice cream ends next weekend - we will have to find year round places for the fall.
OK - I had better get back to work...

Ohblondie, I hope you can keep working on your house even when you're back at work full time, you sound like you're making so much progress.
I just saw a headline that said that between August 7 and August 29th, we had 19 days of dewpoints over 70, which is considered "oppressive". I also saw a headline that said a million people in Louisiana are without power. And that is probably the lesser of the bad news, I haven't seen how many people are flooded out or swept away. And I don't want to even think about all the animals affected too, ugh.
I found the date of the will filing on an invoice, but I think the new attorney will still want a receipt from the old attorney.
Next:
Start load of laundry 10 minutes organizing basement Take out all garbage from 1st floor Take dog out and feed her

I cleared through that pile of papers and found the box to my smart watch. This meant I had to stop working there and go find the watch. Which I did. wonder where the manual/directions ended up....... ETA: I will put the watch in the box and put it in a safe place. I should attack the area by my bed soon....found so much there.....  I have been waiting all day for a call from the window washing people. My mom is insistent the windows get cleaned - inside and out and that the house get power washed. Well, it has now started raining. I doubt now that I will hear from them. I am scheduled to take my parents to a local fair wednesday - it is supposed to rain wednesday as well. ugh..... Maybe towels get washed next |

Ohblondie, what is a smart watch? Is it one of those fitness things that keeps track of your steps and heart rate?
I stopped for lunch and a reading break. I heard from the handyman, he is coming Thursday.
Next:
Clean up from lunch Start some dishes soaking 10 minutes PEEPing 2nd floor Delete 50 emails
