DustyD, I think you are in the same region as I am, but I will be traveling somewhere much cooler. The next few days will be uncomfortable. ta-da: DH dropped a small plastic piece while working on the car, and asked me to help find it. We spent a while, but had no luck. I picked out a few clothes to take on my trip. I put some in the laundry. I'll see what makes the final cut when I see how much room I have in my suitcase. (I don't mind wearing the same thing a few times.) Started a load of laundry Watered the outside plants in front of the house. (There are some that I didn't get to yet that are behind the house.) Sorted and shredded a few more papers to-do Continue with laundry and packing Take care of chickens and water plants that are behind the house.

Hello again. I did get the veggies prepared, then went on to make salads and the rest of dinner. Never got to the purse straightening. Got very tired after dinner and had to lie down around 6:30. Slept until almost midnight. Then up for awhile and slept thru until morning. This has been happening less as I get in better shape, but it keeps happening off and on. Bleh.
Done -DH did some weeding early, and I watered plants. -I went out for the WM pickup, DH is running out to get hoagies we can have for lunch and a nice cold dinner -Dishwasher -Clean air fryer -The day's puzzles
I checked the heat index before 8 am. It was already where it was yesterday just before 9 am, when it was too warm to walk very far. So I decided to skip walking today and find things to do indoors.
To Do -Straighten up purse -Clear out some saved online articles -Put dry laundry away

Good morning WITers!
ta-da: Breakfast to myself and cat (snacks to chickens) Large box full of random stuff dropped off at thrift store Shopping at 4 different stores: Chicken feed, Overstock store, Groceries, Pet store... Mostly stuck to my list. Was hoping to find a travel-neck pillow, didn't see one, but came up with an idea to make one out of stuff I have here at home. Hydrated. It's unpleasant out there.
to-do: Continue to pack for trip. I'm hoping to be more organized than usual in my packing. Prep for this evening's step study group meeting There are still some items on the dining room table to file/sort/put away

Have a nice trip Ally . I remember once years and years ago being caught off-guard when the bank blocked my cc when on a trip. I didn't know they did that, and was caught high and dry for a wee bit. (No place to cash a traveler's check at that time/place). A real learning experience. earlier today: -filled (80%) trash bin, including some clutter, but not enough. -food prep -brought bins up from the street -located 2 bills that need paying Todo: -lock the car -make some ice -maybe do something creative

Yesterday's list got done. Plus I did a little project, making a list of the things in my Netflix watch list, in order of run time. They don't let you sort that way. I'm not making enough use of that subscription. I want to be able to pick something I have enough time to watch; maybe I'll watch more. I did watch a movie last night.
Done today -Got out for my walk at 6:20 am, even before coffee. Heat index only 70, not too bad, but humidity was 87%! -Watered the outdoor plants -Got out and weeded a little, just enough to fulfill my exercise minutes -Dishasher -Cleaned air fryer, put away -Hard boiled eggs -15 minutes of PUPA
To Do -Remaining 15 min PUPA to get ready for the cleaners tomorrow -Read in library book -Finish getting car registration renewal ready to mail; need to look up ins policy #

Good evening, guys and dolls! It's good to see you safely home, goldenthreads! I hope the cleaners did a good job, DustyD. And good on your for cleaning and tossing, yrwelcome. TA-DA 1. Put on shoes 2. Went outside, picked up sticks, etc. 3. Put away yesterday's dry dishes 4. Called two more contractors and they came within hours to look things over and take measurements 5. Went out and purchased appliances, etc. that I have been needing since last year. 6. Laundry Funny thing: I have been saving for these expenditures for THREE YEARS and even found my preferred appliances on sale. But I'm so used to being frugal that I felt almost queasy. 1. Hung wet clothes to dry 2. Gathered receipts and recorded in budget book 3. Put away toiletries TO DO 1. Shower 2. Dress for bed 3. Read
