Busy week ahead!
I started this post this morning and just realized I never posted it!
I returned some things to Sams club and bought some delicious grapes. Bought items at the dollar store for prizes for the games Ate up my leftovers Bought hangers, space saver bags and paper goods for the shower, used cash back points so all was free Cleared a little bit of room in the car- more to go. I have to keep an eye on the weather as we are due some rain and I dont like clearing out my car in the rain
Someone gave me a like new ikea crib, no recalls, for my DD. It is in my car and I need to get it out to make room for shower stuff
I just realized the time
See you all tomorrow!

Good morning!
I certainly can't complain about a drought yet, it has been drizzling on and off since the hard rain yesterday, so everything has been thoroughly watered. More rain today, and more possible rainy days in the 10 day forecast.
It's chilly today too, high of 60. I went outside already just to walk around the yard and look at everything, the little seedlings are okay. And two little plants have their first bud forming.
My sleep was okay so I should have some energy, at least in the first half of the day. By mid-afternoon I always feel my energy draining away.

Today needs to be carefully managed, 8am dr appt 12noon nail appt 4-7 wake for BFF's mom 5pm meeting 6pm meeting
Dr appt done - had an EKG - all was good Load of clothes hung to dry (the last of my son's stuff) One shirt got ruined by mice - the memorial tshirt from when his BFF was killed in HS (car accident Load in the wash
I have been spending time each day (weather permitting) on painting those deck chairs 4 are done and are back on the deck 2 remain - i just have to cover the "logo" before I finish painting them. The chairs look so much better. While I was out there I took the windex and cleaned off the glass top table.
Last night I started putting some decorative items back out in the yard. DS really needs to get the back yard mowed, and I need to level out some super uneven patches
TV in the BR finally died. DH is getting a new one this afternoon. Boy they have come down in price.
Got the kitchen trash out yesterday and the downstairs powder room cleaned. Not the best but good enough.
Tomorrow will be the funeral and taking my mom to visit my dad - so Thursday I will head to storage and get the things I need for the shower. The aluminum racks for the trays of food, serving utensils, aluminum trays to hold water/ice and the cans of sterno. Friday is strip the bed and spray for fleas, put new sheets and new to me comforter on the bed as DD is coming. Then clean the upstairs bathroom.
OK - plan the work then work the plan. Time to get moving!!

Dropped a few items off for DS. A tow rope, one of his hangers, some shaving supplies from my dad, and a snap=on small tool holder. His co=worker took the toiletries (deodorants) from my dad's stash. I ran and grabbed rolls and stuff for lunch and I am eating my sandwich while Callie looks on, drooling!
DS will mow the back yard tonight. the grass is so high and i keep losing Callies tennis balls!
I cleared out the spot where DS had his laundry baskets/sorter. I am boxing up all of his stuff that got left behind, random stuff, and I am stacking the boxes there.
Diane - When I was at the WWII museum I bought a tshirt. It has the four most famous generals last names om it. military green with black letters (McArther, Patton, etc) I am going to wear it on a day that I need to be large and in charge!!
My doc is having me do another sleep study. You can now do them at home and they monitor you remotely. I think I still have my aunt's CPAP machine. Hopefully I can use it.
I had a small box of wooden blocks in the back of the car that were given to me for DD. I heard the box tip over and the blocks clattered out. I will deal with that once I get back from my noon appt.
And I am off again......

TT -
I decided the only way I'm going to tackle my fridge is one project at a time, it's not even working to say 10 minutes at a time because I just don't want to do it. So, I started with the carrot project--I knew I had 3 bags of carrots. I bought additional carrots when my handyman stopped at Walmart to let me run in to buy produce, because I didn't know if the others were still good. I figured by this time 2 of them would be bad, especially since I could see one bag was growing roots--like, lots of roots! But I was happy to see that the middle bag was okay, a few of the carrots had a couple of spots turning bad at the top end but were basically fine. So instead of dealing with the bad bag I washed, trimmed, and cut up the middle bag, and the carrot slices are now steaming in the microwave. The bad bag will be the next project later this afternoon.
I'm not sure why I avoid this job so much--maybe because I hate to waste things, and every fridge clean out involves throwing things away and that makes me feel bad. But I don't have any choice, because my shopping options are so limited--I have no choice but to buy extras of everything because I don't know when the next time I get to the store will be. That's fine for packaged goods, but for produce, it means things inevitably going bad. At least I have a compost bin, and can give things that are still good to the squirrels and rabbits.

10 minutes cleaning seed table Divide bag of shredded cheese into containers for freezer Make some book notes Delete 10 hard emails

Well, so much for it being cool today. After my last list I went outside to weed an area, dig two more holes for dill plants to plant later, and take the cans to the street for pickup tomorrow. It's not cool at all--the sun is very warm so it feels like the 70s.
Time to eat lunch.
