I got 20 gallons of water jugs refilled. DD1 unloaded them from the truck. Yesterday/today I went thru the rest of the storage food in the prep room. Some was expired so DD1 carried it up from the basement and got things in the trash or recycling. Some goes to donation.
gassed up 2 vehicles, went thru making sure everything is clean cleared the outdoor basement drain set out some charcoal bags in the sun to refresh did a little work in garage called pool guy for a small repair on equipment put the following areas back in order ~ family room bar pantry laundry room dog room rec room dining area basement kitchen refrigerator basement hall basement bathroom cat room guest bedroom closet I called the furnace company to confirm tomorrow's maintenance appointment and to be sure the tech guy I wanted will be there. He no longer does maintenance, only repairs. Three weeks ago when I made the appointment he was available. The girl said their senior maintenance man will be here instead. I have used that company for over 40 years but the past few years they have been pretty messed up. The 2 furnaces and 2 AC units are still under a no charge maintenance plan since they are less than 2 years old. After that I may need to look for another company.
I checked the front sidewalk; landscaper finally did repairs that have been a problem since the spring.
Today was stunningly beautiful weather!!! I love September!!!

Hi all! Weather has turned super cold here. My car tyre was complaining of low pressure this morning as it tends to do in the cold. It's been dark and very rainy, feels like the late summer of last week was a long time ago! Still, it was nice this evening to get a blanket out for the first time this season. I had the house to myself and ordered my favourite food and sat watching Queer Eye on Netflix. It's always been a good show to clean and organise too, though I confess I didn't do too much today!
Done: Washed steam mop cloth Put away steam mop Achieved dining table zero Stacked and ran dishwasher Achieve coffee table zero Watered lilies Cleared air dryer Cleared air dryer 2 Folded and bagged laundry Put away little bag of medicines in medicine drawer
To do: Set out clothes for tomorrow

reve this season of QE was the best! I wish I could erase my memory and watch it every day. such a lift.
DVD took me to get my prescriptions refilled. it turned out to be no problem.
we went to look for costume stuff but thrift stores are closed Tuesday. ate a late lunch out. I thought I would at least get my costume together, but I could not find my corset. I am distraught. DVD says he will help me look in the attic tomorrow morning. it was too hot and required stooping so I gave up.
I wish I could just go to be and sleep all night and start over tomorrow. But its only 7:00 pm.

Good morning womble!
We have at least 4 days of lower 80s back again, so I have everything shut up tight with blinds drawn to try to preserve the nice cool air inside for as long as possible.
Bad night last night, so I will just do my best to get as much done today as possible.

The dog finally wanted to go out so we did that, and I brought the cans back from the street because they picked up already. I watched out the window and they combined the garbage and yard waste into the same truck again.

Put phone on charger

Well, I just saw something that made the day better. I heard the sound that I thought could be a goldfinch from near the sunflower plant so looked out the window and I saw a goldfinch feeding a baby! On the sunflower plant! Now I want to put sunflowers all over the yard next year. I just don't have enough room to plant everything that I want to plant.

Good morning everypony!
Yesterday I got to watch a hummingbird sing. I think it was a male Anna's hummingbird--a bigger species, prevalent in CA, the only one with a song. He seemed to be announcing his claim to the tomato trellis.
I got an 11:00 phone appt so I need to get going in order to take advantage of the cooler temps this morning. It's 10:00 already! and quite hazy from distant wildfires
DONE: made appt got dressed took meds
NEXT UP: set up racks at foot of stairs empty two racks upstairs with the help of DVD bring down Halloween and Costume bins

desposito the house is supposed to be listed today. I have checked online and havent seen it yet....Just checked and it is up and listed. The house looks so bright and clean! and Empty! Today will be the first day that I have not visited my father in his rehab facility. It is OK though, and I have someone bringing my mom over for a visit. I have an appointment to get my hair cut after work (I only get 4 cuts a year and I schedule them a year out) So this past week I have focused on getting the carpets cleaned and the house on the market. Done. I need to return the carpet cleaner and give the mum plant on the front porch to the woman who loaned it to me. I cant do much at the house as they will be showing it all weekend (I hope). So I will try to get some stuff at my house under control. I think I have to spend saturday morning running my mom around then to visit my dad after lunch. So I have one confirmed showing already - in the time it took to make this post.... My next big project is to empty their garage out. I have a place for it and hopefully it will spur others to come pickup their stuff. And evict my tenant. Hopefully I can do that paperwork on friday I have managed to keep up on laundry, dishes. I will purge my fridge tonight as garbage is collected tomorrow. My car looks like a rolling landfill but I have been unable to empty it out at night and we had a couple of rainy days. so that is on the list as well. I went to a conference yesterday. I grabbed 6 children's books and I have already given them to the school district - one for each social worker in each elementary school. I left behind the travel mugs and coffee mugs. I did grab a pen - the pen in my purse is getting blotchy. OK - back to work - busy day to wrap up.

Good afternoon scholar--I looked up Anna's hummingbird--wow, that pink throat!
Ohblondie, how exciting to have the house on the market! I hope everyone loves it and you have a bidding war!
The dog wanted to go out, it's so warm today compared to the last days. Tons of bees and wasps out, mainly on the asters since those are the freshest blooms right now, but I had no idea wasps loved fennel so much. I planted the fennel for the swallowtails and it's a good thing I did since the dill did so badly this year--but they are swarming with wasps all day long--I don't think I will grow fennel again. There are wasps along with bees, etc. on all the other flowers and they are great pollinators, but I don't know that it's a good idea to plant something that seems to specifically attract only wasps--I'm so afraid they'll decide to make a nest somewhere in the yard and I will have the same dilemma that bree had.
I'm eating lunch now and trying to think of something to do next that will motivate me. My legs are aching so much today--I think it might have been from the stress of last night, it really was a bad night. They feel the same way they do after I've taken a long walk on ice, where I have to tense up the whole time so I don't fall, and later they ache. I don't know why the tension would only be in my legs, though.

Ahh I'm so glad to hear that! It is such an uplifting show, and I usually end up crying right along with it but in the most positive way. Hi Diane! I definitely have pain avoidance and really hold tension in my body that ends up hurting me during times of stress. Breathing exercises and a massage gun have been my most useful strategies for dealing with it. Hope you're feeling better soon! Done: Emptied dishwasher Ran dishwasher again for cleaning and sanitising scrubbers Load of laundry Handled mail Achieved dining table zero Emptied living room trash Emptied bathroom trash To do: Laundry from machine to dryer Meal plan and order groceries Achieve coffee table zero Set out clothes for tomorrow
