Happy Father's Day!
Diane for your doc appointment can you call an Uber if the return trip seems too much?
so yesterday I did not do what i planned!
The prospect of being home carless sent me out to do some errands. I really like being in the world everyday.So I took the car to go to an ATM to make a deposit, return a library book, and return bottles.
DD then went off to the beach with the car but I ended up making plans to attend a young relative's dance recital. An act of kindness as while I love to see my relative it was nearly three hours long!! but it was good to see people and be out. And I did not have to drive and worry about parking; I was a passenger.
DD took puppy for a walk yesterday.
I did do the dishes, put away a load of laundry, cleaned part of the bathroom
today I am about to hop on church on line.
I should really focus on finances and paperwork today. I think I'll see if DD wants to go out for dinner. I do need to make a grocery run due to cat food and dog food. most important stuff!

Good morning bree! Yes, don't dare come home without the dog and cat food! I have never taken an Uber, I don't have the Uber app, I don't even know the phone number for whatever taxi service is available here. I'm sure I'll be fine, I always have to wait an hour past my appointment time for the doctor to come in the room, so as long as it's air conditioned and I have a book and ice water with me, I'll be fine--I'll be recovered for the trip home. Now, if I get there and their air conditioning isn't working, I will turn around and go back home!

I went outside for just 10 minutes, to see what it was like--it's hot. I watered the zucchini plants--the wilted one has 2 leaves that perked up, but still looks bad--it's weird, usually they either perk up altogether or not at all, so I don't know what happened. I also filled up two water bottles from the rain barrel, but that was enough, I came back inside.
There's a small chance of rain this evening but from the radar I'm guessing it will pass north of us.
I'm working on getting the reading room back in order, I was going to leave the room air conditioner in the room in case I need it, but I took the vent hose out of the window so I might as well put it back into the storage space 2 rooms away--if I need it I can just roll it back out. It's taking up a lot of space because I had to move a plant table away from the window so it could vent outside. I really miss having the birds up here! Now I'm worried that if the whole summer is one heat wave after another I'll have to leave them downstairs. They are getting along beautifully, by the way.
I would like to take a reading break but that room is so warm that it wouldn't be comfortable, so instead I'll probably go downstairs early tonight and read a lot before bedtime. I have about an hour before dinner so I'll keep working on the reading room.

In anticipation of the hot weather this coming week, I went out and watered my plants (potted ones)
DS mowed the lawn today and I gathered some yard waste into a bucket.
I had an errand that took me through the "rich" neighborhood. There must have been several garage sales as there were free piles throughout! I found a chair for my mom - a dining room char with arms.
I went to a paint and sip last night with bonus DGD. She was wound up but we had fun
I am washing my dad's clothes now - and catching my breath
friday night I spent about three hrs helping DD. I washed her dishes - I swear every pot/pan was dirty as was every piece of silverware. I ran the dishwasher twice. I swept the floor and took out 2 1/2 bags of trash. We never got out of the kitchen She has some laundry to do. I hope she took the time to put the clean stuff away. She blames her husband but I know her and she us just as much at fault. She is pregnant and I want her to have a clean house, or at least kitchen, when the baby comes. My DD is good at deflecting the blame on everyone else.
Saturday I had a shower, a garden party at the ALF and the paint and sip, I was tired.
Today was just a visit (took my mom to see dad). I finished folding her long sleeve turtlenecks and got them put away. I reorganized her hanging clothes as they were a jumbled mess, Pants are hung and sorted by color. Shirts are organized by sleeve length. it is so much better. I helped her pay some bills and got her mail out. While visiting my dad, my mom and I perused some dollar store magazines with recipes. There were some that looked quite good.
I was able to clean and organize one of the drawers in the kitchen island - it had actually stayed pretty organized from the last time I did this. I went to do the other drawer and realized it was damaged and needed repair so that is just sitting there.
Dishwasher is unloaded and reloaded, DH has clean socks and underwear and work clothes for tomorrow.
OK - time to do something!!
