I opened and put away my Walmart order, and I went outside to plant the 2 dill plants that I dug holes for before. The sun has now gone behind the clouds so it feels very nice and cool outside.
I also made a partial shopping list in case I try to go to Walmart this week. I don't badly need anything but I'm worried that I won't be able to do the walk since it's been a while since I needed to. If I go it will probably be Thursday morning, but I haven't decided yet.
Now I have to write a letter to a friend, after that it will probably be time to prepare dinner.

Good morning!
I keep changing my mind about the rest of the week--I do have to get to the library this week, but I'm waffling about shopping--maybe I will make a better effort to finish my fridge cleaning so I know exactly what I have.
I had okay sleep again, so today will be a good day for more planting.
I hope everyone has a productive day!

I just did 2 half hour sessions in the yard, and in the middle of them, sat and talked to my next door neighbor for another half hour.
I planted a goldenrod plant that is the last of my purchased plants from last week, they are now all in the ground. I went to the plot right outside the gate at the front of the house to decide what to put there, and saw a young milkweed plant growing in front of the plot--not a good place, so I got a spade and dug it out and moved it to the back of the yard. Then when I pulled out some creeping charlie from the spot to prepare to dig some holes for zinnias, I found 3 more milkweeds growing right at the front of the plot, so I moved those too. I dug up something that I'm not sure about and moved it so I could plant the milkweed in the idea location, I moved the mystery plant to the newest planter area, if it turns out to be something I don't want I can just pull it out later. I had never moved a milkweed plant before and didn't know that when young they have just one long taproot, no other roots coming off of it. So I got out my drill with the masonry bit and drilled deep holes to put them in--very handy! I hope they survive. I did weeding as well. There is SO much to do out there.
The sun came out midway through so it got a lot warmer, now I have to cool off.

I went back outside and planted the zinnias, moved something that looks like it could be a baby sunflower, drilled holes for some stakes, and watered a few things.

Okay, I did one last trip to the yard, did weeding, and planted two seedlings, they aren't very large but they weren't growing inside so I decided to put them out. They are a plant I never grew before but decided to try them this year--Scabiosa. Pollinators are supposed to like them. I did a little watering too, just a few plants. It's supposed to storm again tomorrow night, but I think I'll have to water everything in the morning because it will be hot during the day.
One more list before dinner and I will be done for the day.

Today was pretty much a bust.
My BFF's mother's funeral, interment and meal after the service wiped out most of the day. It was a full mass with communion, so it was long but beautiful. I waws unable to get my mom to visit my dad but I managed to snag some cookies for him and I brought them over and visited for a bit. I ate so much - I am not hungry for dinner!
I came home and I have been working in the GLAM room. I have been trying on clothes and hanging up the keepers. my donate pile is growing again. Even though more and more clothes fit me - I am not sure that I like them.
DH just brought me a football hoodie, It is more like a pullover jacket than a hoodie. I will wear it quite a bit this fall but - UGH. where do I put it......
OK - off to find where I set my phone down.....

hello late on a Wednesday night in my time zone. it has been a busy week since I posted Monday afternoon. skimmed the thread mylittlescholar sounds like you are healthy? ohblondie how are you losing weight? any tips. I am trying, doing better with healthy choices, portion control, eliminating some calorie bomb foods but not much scale progress.... work is very busy, lots of projects due and I am doing my best (mostly!) to get them down but I am procrastinating on a biggee cuz it is really hard. I did make several deadlines this week though and moved projects alone. I was proud as Monday night after work I did some cleaning in DD room. Trash pick up, water bottle pick up, empty bags etc. not a real mess but a teenage mess! What do people do with nice bags like Lululemon bags? We have a big stack. they represent spending so much money it seems wrong to toss them  Tonight I dusted in DD room and I am in the middle of washing her bedding. I bring her home tomorrow!!! Puppy is refusing her allergy meds. she gives me such a gracious apologetic look as she runs upstairs! I have them wrapped in turkey, and then tried cheese. I think I have to go straight to rotisserie chicken tomorrow! Walked puppy every night in the drizzle. We have not had a dry day in two weeks. also tonight after working in DD room, I did the dishes, took the trash and recycling to curb, and am in the middle of laundry I am proud of myself for two reasons today: a generous colleague brought in donuts and I did not eat any!!! and after wok there was a free concert for an orchestra that one of my relatives plays in. I wanted to go but I am so busy and I had to work late and get home to puppy that I declined. I so often say yes anyway regardless of what I need to do (except for animal care). I would have enjoyed it but I really needed to get home to puppy, walk her, and do chores, plus I worked late. So glad I took care of myself for a change. I had lunch with a friend in from out of town that was really fun. we tried to go to a place with healthy salads so they were closed so we went to a deli. the only salad they had was basicallly iceberg lettuce with carrots and olives. I had soup and a sandwich and tried to make a healthier choice and also had a very light dinner. |

Good morning everyone.
This morning is focus on the car day. I usually pull into the driveway, but I am going to turn the car around and back in. I am going to empty the car and start loading it up. O think if I put the disassembled crib in first then I can put everything on top of the crib pieces. After I take my mom to visit my dad I will get the items out of storage.
Tomorrow I will go to Sam's and get cookies and cupcakes
But first I must pay my electric bill!
