Good morning!
Thanks for starting the week off, lennon!
I feel like I got an unexpected vacation day today, since the handyman isn't coming. I have so much to catch up on.
I hope everyone has a good week!
Diane

I spent an hour outside before the sun came out from the clouds, I planted 2 bachelor buttons and dug holes for 2 more salvias. I'm 99% sure the little seedlings I'm finding are black-eyed susans so I moved a couple of those and put a couple more into pots. I need to clear out the center section where several zinnias will go, and the seedlings aren't good where they are now, there are more to be moved.
TO DO:
Call decluttering client 10 minutes on seedlings Restock water in fridge Delete 10 hard emails

Gosh so many posts the last few days with people achieving so much.!!!👍 Today has been spent in preparing for an interview tomorrow...the role sounds interesting, I just hope the shifts allow the time to get down to support my parents when needed...this weekend was spent with them, helping with their garden and out for a picnic at the park. Today's paperwork is taking way more time than expected!!!! The only chores i might get to will be food prep..I'm working the rest of the week,but half days, so I need a plan for achieving something productive.

Hello decade, good luck with your interview tomorrow!
I went out to the yard for another hour, I think it's going to get warm soon. I planted one of the mystery salvia plants, and I moved a whole bunch more black-eyed susan seedlings. I also cut down some branches, the yard waste can has to go out tomorrow so I have to fill it up.
My shopping friend never called yesterday so I know she'll call today. I'm going to do one more list and then eat lunch.
Next:
Update all lists Put last groceries away from last week Fill pill container Delete 10 hard emails

Finished sorting my pants. all sorted by style (capri, crop, long) Not as many as I thought but I do not need more. I will likely need to try them on as several might be too big
Finished purchasing plants. I will finish planting everything this afternoon.
I had better get moving if I want to wrap up in three hours

What plants did you buy, ohblondie? ![](http://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/FrupXdFWbETUBSGkxzsZ.gif)
I did get a very long call from my shopping friend, she's actually doing a little better that she was right after her fall. I went out to the yard just to water everything.
I haven't heard from the roofing people so maybe they will try to come in between the storms tomorrow, or else they will call tomorrow when they see what the weather is like.
I'm going to eat dinner now.

Hello lennon Diane, oust and ohblondieohblondie is retirement going well? I know you are so busy w your parents but is it wonderful not to go to work? I was on time for work today as I had a Meeting first thing. Part if it was how or if we can proceed w reporting ethical violations of sociopath! I had trouble getting into the work groove so I went through all emails received last week as it was so meeting intensive somethings were just hanging out there. Then made a list of what I wanted to accomplish. That was really helpful as I got some very important projects started. It is a nice day here. I am home from work and had simple supper. Very simple as I really need to grocery shop. Then have spent a lot of time out back throwing tennis balls for puppy. When it cools a bit more, I’ll take her for walk Last week, the lawn guy ran over my dog stake - not sure of official name - the metal thing put in the lawn so you can leash dog. Obviously he knew he did it! It must have made a noisy racket and could have damaged his mower. I found the stake remnant- a sharp piece of steel hidden in the grass. Danger to people and the animals. Very annoyed he did not tell me! I had pointed it out specifically before mowing season and even asked if he wanted me to move it. So when he came today, I asked him to remove stake as I tried and I could not. Not even an apology. I’d like to stop using him because they don’t do the best job but he has held my price steady and he is generally nice and he is in poor health. He must really need the money to work in his condition. I kind of am waiting for him to retire . Plus he is the dad of a neighbor. My advice is hire complete strangers!

Bree, so what was the consensus from the meeting? Can you report Mr. or Ms. Sociopath?
Time for bed, good night everyone, see you tomorrow!

Diane - i purchased annuals. hopefully over the summer i can plan out some perennials for next year.
i planted two hanging baskets, two rectangular baskets that sit in shelf things, and the two wicker things that sit on the deck at the end of the sofa and chairs
i have a few more red and white impatiens to finish out the border then I declare myself done. I tucked a few solar stake lights along the border of the garden. once i am done with the front i will put some out back
I took another bag of clothes to my mom's. i emptied the dishwasher and started loading it again i washed three travel coffee mugs Someone gave me two bags of baby clothes that were 3T so i dropped them right off for a friend/s granddaughter
i keep saying i will get one more summer out of my out door chairs, i sprayed them with rustoleom primer then hit them with black spray paint. they look so much better. i am 2 chairs in, 4 to go
tomorrow my mom and i will visit my dad in the am. that will give me the afternoon to get another project accomplished
bree - i do like the slower start to my day. and i feel like i am finally getting things done.

Good morning!
I had the best night's sleep I've had since my bird died a week ago, so I hope I'm back on track for sleep improvement.
There was no rain over night but a line of storms is coming our way, probably in the next two hours. I need to clean out the seed pool before then--I'm worried that the little seedlings I transplanted will be washed out of the soil if the rain is very hard, but i guess I'll just have to replant them if that happens. It will be warm for the next two days, then it gets a lot cooler for several days, so those will be perfect for yard work.

The roofing guy called and rescheduled for 7:30 tomorrow morning, so it's good to know what's happening. I went outside and filled the yard waste can and put it outside the gate to make it easier to bring to the street later, and I swept the debris out from the basement door well. The seed pool is swept out too, so I am all ready for the storm that will be here in an hour. The radar looks like it's hard rain, but unless it veers to the side it doesn't look like it'll last too long. Too bad the roof repair wasn't schedule for one day earlier...

I think the morning storm is over, as expected, it was very hard rain for a very short time. I will go out later and check the seedlings. There's another storm later this afternoon.
I briefly called my decluttering client, and then did some research on the "to-do list" site I'm using. I resisted using a feature of it for a while, but I think I'm now ready to use it so I will have to do some reorganizing of my lists, I'm going to work on that now.

Happy Tuesday! ohblondie you are getting so much done! Diane, I don't think anyone will actually file a formal complaint. not sure. this person has so much power and uses it so people are very gun shy. we are having idyllic weather! I spent a lot of the morning sitting out back and playing fetch. I am home today but not for the best reason. puppy has to go get a check up to make sure there is no growth where the abscess was. So I am worried but I think she is fine, I think the vet just felt some of the abscess that was still there...yet nerves. I had to give her a sedative this morning so after we played fetch I did that and now she is quietly resting. I don't think this sedative is going to be as effective as the vet hopes, puppy is so high energy. I will be glad when I get the good news and this is over. I was going to work from home and decided to take a vacation day. it is hard to deal with work stuff and other stuff so I decided to take a break. last night, I took puppy for a nice walk, came home and was going to do some chores when I noticed the bottom of my refrigerator was full of water. Noooo. I have a top freezer fridge model so it seems like the freezer stopped working. there was quite an ice build up so I think it was blocking some stuff. I put a bowl in the fridge where the leak was and spent over an hour chipping away at this big ice build up in the corner by the ice maker. I really hope I do not need a new fridge but mine is about 15 years old and that seems to be the point at which better to buy new than old, at least according to the internet and we know that is never wrong !! The freezer started working again after I cleaned it out, and so this morning I was hoping there was no more leaks but there was some water in the bowl. def leaking way less. I am just hoping it will stop leaking and it was just residual from the ice block. I did look at new refrigerators. My space for one is small but I would like a bottom freezer model. I feel like I spend too much time bent over peering in the fridge partk. So that was the big excitement from last night! Today I put clean dishes away, fed cats (poor puppy is not supposed to eat but she ate very heartily around midnight which was perfect!) paid an invoice confirmed porch painting job for early June made an appointment for girlcat to get her claws trimmed at home today i want to deal with all the lab hair in my house! I was going to vac last night before freezer also want to start a load of laundry and will go get groceries after vet visit. I am out of nearly everything. I have been shopping without a list for the last month or so and it is really a bad way for me to shop! I lost my debit card! I used it saturday night at a restaurant. I have not seen it since that i can recall. I know I took it out of restaurant unless I dropped it ... no one is using it, so it is probably somewhere in this house. I am going to look very thoroughly as I keep checking for no activity. I have certain auto payments tied to that card. so next laundry and worry/pray about puppy
