Good morning!
I have one more day before the handyman comes tomorrow, so I have to get a lot done. Rain is predicted again for this afternoon and evening, so I will do something in the yard in the morning.
Have a good day, everyone!
Diane

Hi Everyone! Thanks for getting the week started lennon ! I am a little late getting back to recording. I am taking part of this week off to get things done before I go to hospital for out patient stuff. It is of course going slow but at least it is going. I did manage to get the trash to the curb which I am woo hoo over. I wish it was recycle week so i could get my recycling can emptied too as it is nearly full and i have a lot to go in yet. I am on break right now. I am living by the timer with lots of extra break taking during break time.

Well, my new DGGD was born this morning---and she is perfectly healthy after all !!! And very cute too. Her big brother will be 20 months old tomorrow. I do feel blessed about this. Did the dailies, had my hair cut, paid 2 bills by phone, and finished and mailed thank-you notes for Masses and prayers, etc., for my son, Tim. My best to all. catcats Congratulations catcats !!!! That is wonderful news!!!!

Good morning TML! Can you put extra bags of recycling out for pick up, or is it only what can fit in the can?
I went to the yard for 15 minutes to see what the weather was like, it's a little too cold and damp to try to get down on the ground and weed even though it hasn't started raining yet. I ordered a foam cushion that I'm going to try to cut a hole in so I can kneel to weed--I'm seriously behind now because of this knee.

Diane, have you seen the long handle weeders they sell? About $30 Amazon has them if you can't get to Home Depot
The drive had dead wasps from the spray last night.

Thursday! Diane you have the best handyman! that is great. womble hope your dental pain goes away soon I am off today. I have mostly confirmed but still tentative plans for a social even in a city about 1.5 hours away so I took the day off to have travel time and be with puppy. event might not happen and I almost decided to work from home but I decided I needed a break. I think the only way I can survive the remaining years on the job in the best way is to take vacation regularly. I am going to start taking more, a day here and there, I think just to give me a break from all the nutty stuff there. puppy is doing so well! She is happy and running around. Took her for a walk last night, I cut it about half time as she is on pain killers but they don't seem to have too much effect on her energy. maybe just a teensy bit. I have to stop binging and do some stuff. All I have sone so far is feed animals, do my NYT puzzles, and binged a show, plus dishes. today I want to: go get some groceries (mostly cold cuts for puppy's meds, they are the best delivery vehicle for her) return bottles vacuum house pay bills call in meter read download copies of our taxes file away taxes paperwork clean off dining room table clean night side table walk puppy wash my comforter. I love my comforter so much! but it has ever slightest texture or fuzz to it rather than like a smooth percale feel. and that nearly invisible softness is a magnet for cat fur so I wash it quite a bit. it is so cozy that it is worth the extra work (mostly) I heard good news from DD that she has a summer job lined up! not full time but a good job that is working in a business setting so real world experience for her future, not in retail or fast food, jobs which she has done. but this job will look good on a resume to an employer in her field after she graduates. Very glad about that! I should get on my list. so gloomy here. last night I walked puppy in driving rain. I had on rain jacket, a hoodie, and a shirt, and all three were wet! My jeans were soaked. I had to change my entire outfit! sometimes this gloomy wet climate wears me out.

Oust, I don't think those would work for me--they might dig a weed out, or start to dig a weed out, but you have to be able to lift it the rest of the way out and/or remove it, and I also am removing little bits of dead twigs, etc. I guess if my knee situation was permanent I would have no other choice, but it's the scab over the large scrape that is hurting so much when I put weight on it, that has to heal eventually! If I was more limber I would sit on the ground and weed but that's even harder on my back.
Bree, throughout my whole working life I took one vacation day at a time--I know you travel, which I never did, so you need multiple days in a row sometimes--but taking one day at a time was life-saving, it meant I never had to wait too long for a break. I think that's a good plan for you with your toxic work place--you can travel once you retire! I'm glad puppy feels so much better!

Good afternoon scholar!
I stopped for a lunch and reading break.
Now I have to look at the website the handyman sent me where I will order the dirt. It's been three years and I forgot what or how much I ordered last time.
It's still sunny outside, no rain yet. Maybe I'll try to go outside again.

Bree, So glad puppy is feeling much better. I know what you mean about cat fur on linens---and everywhere !! Nice that your DD has snagged herself a good summer job that will also help her in future resumes. Also---very smart to take days here and there for vacation. Easy to do when you have more than one week vacay. Ooh, oust , big bill for pest control. Not terribly important, but I have had many many many ants in my mailbox for 2 days in a row now ! Spring is here, for sure. I have done the dailies and when I went downstairs to do laundry, I vacuumed a lot of the Breeze pellets that the boy cats toss out of the cat pans. Still needs more work, but another time for that. Took snow shovel to basement and brought up back yard hose. Hopefully BBL. catcats
