missjean said: Yes, exactly Some of these fans move a lot of air, and on the lowest setting you get used to it, I guess. Years ago I got a fan that actually is quiet, but that is for the bedroom on hot nights. Sadly that brand is no longer available. Glad you had a nice family visit. done: -soaking crusted casserole -started another small batch of hand washables. Fast, easy, and makes me feel virtuous. Will continue doing this. -open windows while it's still cool outside todo: -work on filling green can -work on filling trash can -clean soaked casserole. So nice and peaceful now.

BetsyMarie, WTG for getting all that brush taken care of. Last week one day I worked for 15 minutes and I was "done!" (worn out) ta-da: Walked the recyclables down to the main road. Put dishes away Worked on CLA meeting prep for a few minutes I have a huge bin of unmatched socks. Picked out about 30-35 dark ones and was able to put together 9 pair. 2 or 3 of these will be going on the trip with me. to-do: I moved some piles from my bedroom to the dining room table. The goal is to go through this stuff (mostly paper) and file/shred/recycle all of it later today or tomorrow (I started this project on Saturday) Work on outfits to pack, maybe do a load of laundry? I realized that the cat's fur is all matted over her left hip. I tried to work on it some, I need to work on this more. She has made it clear that she wants me to leave it alone, and always lays with that side down. I also want to see of I can clip her nails. She shows great resistance to nail clipping (Yep she's the most tame cat on the planet until you touch her where she doesn't want to be touched!)

Done -Watered outdoor plants -Walked with DH around 8:45 am; already too hot and sweaty for me. Will try to go earlier tomorrow. -Did two loads of laundry -Placed a WM pickup order for tomorrow morning -Did some kitchen clean up

Fortunately there is a nice breeze now, so the warmer temps don't seem as bad. And it is cooler than the past weekend. So I went back out and stuffed the green can with more trimmings. And midday ,that job is done for this week. Maybe next week I'll do partial pruning mid-week so I don't have to do it all in one day. I even enjoy trimming things... done: -more trimming bushes -cut greenery down to smaller size for fitting into the large bin todo: -gather regular house trash -look for clutter trash -take bins to the street
