we got most of the bigger boxes loaded. decided to stop until 7:00 pm, when it will cool down considerably.
I need to make a call, and run the errands, but am going to rest first.

Oust, how many cleaning jobs do you have now in a typical week?
I had to take the dog out twice, and will still have one more trip later on. It's pleasant out there now, and the yard waste can wasn't full so I cut up more of the tree branches and did some weeding. I only saw one black swallowtail today.
Earlier I cut down the boxes that were in the living room so the only room on the first floor that has some things to put away is the kitchen. Upstairs looks pretty good although there are some things out at the moment, I might be able to get them put away before I go downstairs tonight. But I don't want to say I'm at baseline until everything is put away, so, not yet.
Tomorrow morning I have to go to the library and I'm thinking about a grocery walk on Wednesday since starting Friday we get hot again for many days in a row. I'm not desperate for anything but if the heat lasts a while I won't be able to go.
I hope I can sleep more than 6 hours tonight, I am tired.
Diane

A while back, I told about an incorrect orderx2 from a large business. They were going to send me a return label and did not. Then they were going to send UPS to get it and did not. Then they said to keep it at no charge. On Saturday, there was an email saying I was being charged. Finally today, it was straightened out and I have an email saying so, just for this time. Also, I was on the phone for ~ 2 hrs. with an insurance company. I am so sick of being on the phone.
Did dailies.
Good peace to all.

Oh i am part time still. My customers are very happy to have me and i really like them all. I don't advertise just take friends of who i go to now. My back is not good. I use an Ice Pack inside the back brace and it really makes a difference. Luckily if i am having a bad week and need to stay home i can reschedule and just move their days around. Never took off for my back, but a Migraine will knock me out.

Yesterday was extremely stressful work day. And yes, some had to do with my boss. After work, DH & I went shopping. He dropped me off at JCPennys & he went to Target. I tried on about 15+ pairs of jeans/pants. Was in such a hurry kinda got confused what kinda fit & what didnāt. Didnāt have much time to shop, but did go back to pull a couple more pairs that I thought kinda fit when I tried on. Bought 1 pair black pants, 4 or 5 pairs of jeans. Tried all again when I got home, but before that DH & I ate at āSalataā. My 1st time to eat there, I liked it but pricey. I may take the black pair pants backā comfy but have to be hemmed. Keeping 2 pairs of jeans & returning the restā either too baggy or too long or both. I think one was sized wrong. Emptied front bathroom trash & replaced bags. Dieted successfully. No exercise  This morning woke up with bad headache at 6am. Cooled down. Took 1 Excedrin Feeling better. Cd |

I ended up working a bit late yesterday, so I was late going to visit my dad and late going to help my mom. But we got it all done with time to spare.
DH went and got some chinese food so I sat in bed at 9pm eating an egg roll.
I managed t et a ecent night's sleep so I am much better today (still tired but another good nights sleep should help)
I am working in the office today as I have some work to do that requires printers and access to cases. Cases are confidential and I cannot bring them home. So here I sit...but I am not coming in tomorrow - I will still work from home tomorrow.
So I had better get to work and get stuff sone!

Good morning everyone!
Catcats, your customer service encounters are a nightmare, will things ever get better? You would think that companies would be able to hire enough help by this time.
No exercise
Cando, trying on 15 pairs of jeans counts as exercise, for sure!
I went to the library this morning and returned a lot of books, some were ones I didn't want to read. I also returned the antique book because it's due at the end of this week, I didn't even start reading it, I just paged through and read paragraphs here and there to get a feel for it. It will definitely not be an easy or quick read, but I would still like to read it, so I will look at some point for a used copy. There were 3 books being held for me, and there are maybe 3 more that I know will be coming this week, initiated before my ordering moratorium.
I finished the book set in the 1918 flu epidemic, I really liked it. So I looked at the next 4 books in the pile of 9. I started one, there was one that was an immediate no after I read the first page. There were two that were iffy, but I pushed myself to put them in the "let go" pile. The last 3 look good but if I'm remembering correctly they are all historical fiction, which I don't usually read one after another, so I'll have to see, maybe I'll swap them out with other books from my stash. The one I kept to read out of the pile of 4 is a historical fiction mystery. I'm not sure why there were so many HF in that box, I don't separate the fiction that way when storing them. This experiment is really interesting so far.
I'm still tired, last night the dog had to go out at 1am and I fell back around 3, but I slept til 7 so got between 6 and 7 hours of sleep. I do think that she is a tiny bit calmer since I'm mostly letting her set the yard schedule.
This morning in the yard I reached through a big tangle of plants to cut a few branches of the dried sweet white clover so I can collect the seeds, and when I came inside both arms were itching. These were not mosquito bites, just general itching all along the side of my arm that was touching the plants, so I'm sensitive to something there--the only thing it could be is the polkweed although I touch the polkweed alongside the house all the time with no effect. Maybe something is growing in there that I don't know about--I don't think it's poison ivy though, because my arms feel better now a couple of hours later, and poison ivy rash doesn't go away in a couple of hours.
I waited for breakfast til I came home from the library so I'm eating that now, then hopefully I'll get to work.

Are our Florida folks in the path of the hurricane? I can't even imagine how a 10 foot storm surge looks, I hope it's not as bad as they say it will be.
Next:
Print some forms 10 minutes on first floor Do some shredding Delete 50 emails

Good morning afternoon everypony!
ice inside the brace? hmm, I might try that oust! the weather channel did a visualization of a ten foot storm surge, and it was terrifying!
we met my folks for hangerbers in their air conditioning last night. then came back home and loaded some more stuff. I was fretting about all the other things on my list, and DVD turned me around to look at where the pile was, and said "It was piled to the ceiling, remember?"
I made a big list this morning, but all I want to do is go back to bed. I had insomnia last night. its already too hot to sleep or work here.
DONE: slept in talked to DVD's mom got dressed and did face to the library for d/o and then house kitty care updated log checked online balance did the first step in creating a new spreadsheet checked email unsubbed from one advertiser
applied to a paid focus group replied to message re: getting CPAP (finally figured out how to get a message to my provider) DVD made breakfast
NEXT UP: fill med minder and take meds review list errands?

Good afternoon scholar!
I tried to put away my new greeting cards and realized I'm going to have to do some reorganizing of my card shelves, so I'll try to do that this afternoon. I took the dog out for a while, but the mosquitoes were biting so I didn't get a whole lot done out there. I took the cans to the street for pickup tomorrow and did a little seed retrieval. I can't believe it's so late in the summer that it's time for seed collecting already.
And speaking of that, I looked at the dried sunflowers and there are no seeds there. But there also are no seeds in the ones that are starting to dry out--I can't believe the birds are eating ALL of them. I thought maybe the seeds looked different on these very small sunflower blooms but that doesn't make any sense since they grew from sunflower seeds in the bird seed--which are smaller than normal, but still look like typical sunflower seeds. Then I realized that I can just plant seeds from the bird seed next spring and see what I get! I want to duplicate these plants because they are just amazingly popular.
