 Washed dishes. PUPA 5 minutes. Took out trash and compostables.  Make doctor appointment. They asked for it, but the patient portal isn't working for appointments for her, and the phone line kept dropping my calls! Shower and get dressed. Make tabbouleh. Water front lawn.

goldenthreads, That's frustrating about the patient portal. I work in a hospital, and they are telling us that they want my department to be open for self-scheduling, but we have enough problems with the official schedulers not scheduling things according to the protocol, so I see both sides of it. Recently I tried to make an appointment through the portal on my phone, but it wouldn't let me, but I could using the computer, but, the first available appointment wasn't for 8 weeks or something. They sent me a message right after I made the appointment that they had openings sooner, if I would call them. They fit me in the next week. ta-da: Did a few things to tidy up the kitchen and bathroom Still trying to unclog the toilet. I've never had a clog as stubborn as this one. Donated blood without my BP dropping! to-do: I just realized I left produce from a farm stand in the back of my car. It's going to cook out there in the sun. So: Bring in produce. Pour more hot water into the toilet. This is supposed to work... I hope Take a nap or other type of break Work on DHs pants

Morning Witsters Ally - good luck with the toilet. I'm pleased your niece enjoyed visiting.  Coffee Listened to podcasts instead of turning on the TV. (Mel Robbins- funny and useful) Start load of washing- sometimes it feels like all I do  Exercise Probably more kitchening |

1. Put away dry clothes 2. More dishwashing, mostly new kitchen tools 3. More boxes out of room 4. Dust mopped the floor I uncovered 5. Hand-cleaned the dustmop pad until I had to throw it in the washer 6. Cleaned filthy case I unearthed yesterday 7. Cleaned the actual typewriter, which took an inordinate amount of time 8. Put away dry dishes 9. Used wood cleaner on the desk top Funny aside: I planned to use paper towels from a Covid pack. Turns out, it was all toilet paper! A little late to return for a refund. 1. Dust mop the floor again 2. Hunt down library books that are due 3. Put away hung-dry items Then I'm going to bed!

Sleep well missjeanWashing in Exercise video Shower Out for lunch Grocery shopping Fed hens- still no eggs, which is a mystery because there has been at least 1 egg every day for ages now. I expected production to increasing decrease. We have searched all around in case they have found another spit. Hang washing etc Put shopping away Check the list I made yesterday- what else do I need to do? |
