Friday!! mylittlescholar hope you feel better and find your debit card! ohblondie you are just cranking away in your retirement! I am working at home and I have no meetings! just had a quick phone call. Took puppy to daycare and the household is at peace! things are pretty messy here though, I am the kind of person who really has the ripple effect -- like when one thing happens it ripples for a long time! like my biz trip had big long ripples, and now just the day with puppy procedure pushed other chores out of the way. the groomer is coming this afternoon to trim girlcat's claws, so I have a goal that when she arrives late afternoon, I will have vac'd downstairs and tidied up dining room table on my lunch break. I also want to have project PG done by that time. Diane the meeting w socio was as expected. Socio invited someone else and explained why due to a basic lie that she already had been informed was incorrect information. Wiley wiley wiley. It is making this big project so much harder. I found out her age and I don't think she'll be retiring soon, I purposely looked ! last night I took puppy for a walk and that was about it. I need to make a work list and an at home list. DD comes home from college next week! I want to have her room clean and shiny, the cats use it as a bedroom now! to add to my slow drains and leaking freezer -- I need a new garage door! as you may recall I had what I think was a squirrel in my attic. I was talking to my neighbor who had squirrels and it was such an ordeal for her to get rid of them and so much money! She pointed out that my garage door is probably an entry way for them to go from garage to attic...i think she is right as everything else is sound. I am frazzled homeowner!

As I was leaving - I got a message from my BFF that her mother passed during the night So I did the bank, cancelled the hardware store, went to florist and post office then her house then the gas station then my moms. she was shocked as she was friends with BFFs mom. they were all the same age.
so here it is, 2pm, and i am just eating lunch. and contemplating next steps

Good afternoon everyone!
The handyman has gone home, another really tiring day for me--I decided to mow while he was here again, and the grass was really long because of all the rain we've gotten. I mowed everything, including the strip at the alley that I sometimes forget. Then I helped put together the metal frame which is another garden plot, this one is a foot high, above ground. I bought it 2 years ago and never put it together, but now it is in place, and is the last area that I can plant. When it was put together the handyman dug around the frame so that it rests evenly on the ground, and then both of us shoveled the left over dirt from the delivery into it.
So this day really tired me out, just mowing is usually enough to make me tired for the rest of the day, but I did a lot more than that and I'm feeling it.
There were a couple small things that didn't get done today, plus we talked about another small new project, so he's coming back--but I told him not until the week after next. I need a full week off!
Now I'm going to eat dinner, then call my decluttering client, and I don't think anything else will be accomplished tonight.
Diane

As suspected, I don't feel like doing anything except going to sleep. So I will do that soon.
Good night everyone, see you tomorrow in the weekend thread, where I hopefully will have regained some energy!
Diane

Well I petered out pretty quickly as well. I was just putting dinner in the oven when DH suggested we go get fish fries at a local drive in spot so we did.
I still have a marathon sock matching session ahead of me. And a put clothes away session
I did spray the bed for fleas. I will hit the guest room bed next week.
I am running out of hangers.
Ok. I must do something before I crash
