Hello catcats! I'm glad the move went well. Poor kitties--the times I moved I would always leave closet doors open for them, they seemed to like to hide there until they were comfortable with the new place. Are your DD's dogs very small, like the same size as the cats?
I finished the book I was reading, it was really good, although sobering. It was set in 1920's England, about a couple who were proponents of eugenics, until their own 4 year old daughter was diagnosed with epilepsy. Although it's historical fiction, all the details about the eugenics movement were real, including all the well-known and wealthy people who supported it. Kind of a scary read, considering where we are with our politics in this country today. The book is The Hidden Child by Louise Fein.

catcats glad your move went well, hope all the kitties get along shortly. I'll be thinking of you and praying for you on Friday. You have so much going on!! reve very impressive list! still very hot here. Even puppy is subdued. I went back to work in the office for the first time on Tuesday. It was good to be back as I had a project that really needed the superpowers of office life -- double screens, good fast printer, access to some written records and using an online system that is so much faster on site than remote. Still I had been dallying on this project for quite awhile and finally got to it in the afternoon and ended up working 2.75 hours late! But I made great progress. it is due tomorrow, still a few loose ends, and one thing that I discovered that is not so great but I have a solution. We are off today for Juneteenth and the whole place is shut down so I could not finish it today, which is kind of nice. Chaos came over and asked how I was, then told me a big long story about how people abuse working at home and don't follow the policy and went on and on!!! SMH. I told her a medical accommodation is different than flex time for convenience. she is something else. when I got home, I took puppy for a short walk, and let her go in the fountain. it was still so hot. It was the most walking that I did since this incident happened. My knee is def feeling it today. so good to mostly just be sitting around! I did do the dishes, cleaned the stove top, went through the fridge and purged old stuff and wiped down the shelves. I finally started a financial thing I need to do for DD college, another thing I have been procrastinating on! I could not finish it, I have questions, but I started, broke through the sludge of resistance and hope to finish it tomorrow. I also took out trash and recycling, cleaned the litter, and did a few loads of laundry. I could be at a conference today in a major city going out to dinner at a fancy restaurant with colleagues with no need to scoop litters...with my knee state, it is good I did not go, and I actually canceled plans to go due to a huge project at work that I could not just dump on my staff member. they are great but they def want me there as a back up.so it was not meant to be. One reason I really wanted to go was that it would be the first travel in close to 30 years without having to make pet care provisions. And even childcare provisions too, I have had to have a sister come live at my house for the work trip to watch DD and the pets. But now with grown DD she could have been alone and take care of the pets and prob really enjoy some days with me gone! going away and getting the house ready for pet sitters is so much work and I don't really like having strangers in my house. anyway that is done and gone. I am going out to dinner tonight and I don't feel like it! But I'll be there. I don't want to overeat or eat w/out realizing it hidden sugars and salt and carbs. I looked over the menu and tried to find the healthiest thing.

then told me a big long story about how people abuse working at home
My last list included prepping the small bird cage to go to the basement, and even that small task made me so hot and tired. I have both central and upstairs air on at 80, which I know is too warm but the weather is so extreme and is going to last for so long I just feel like I have to be careful. Surprisingly, when I set the window A/C to 80 it's comfortable in this small room, if I'm mostly sitting.
The weather forecasts are going to drive me crazy, they keep changing--now one station shows 87 tomorrow instead of 92--that would feel like such a wonderful break, if it's true. But then I'll go look again in a couple of hours and they will have changed it again. I wish I could just look at the weather once or twice a day, but I am literally not capable of that.
My shopping friend called again this afternoon, but we only talked for half an hour because a nurse came in and needed something.
I guess it's time to stop for dinner.

Good evening reve!
I'm pretty happy with today, considering how hot it was--I cleared out some things from my desk that have been sitting around for a while. The 2 main weather sites I look at still vary on tomorrow's high by 6 degrees! I shall hope the lower number is the correct one.
Good night everyone, see you tomorrow!

Good morning womble!
I'm waiting for the library to open. All forecasts now say it will be at least 90 today.
I did my early hour in the yard, I saw 3 bees--2 on the forking larkspur and 1 on the lavender.

I decided that since I had to go out to the library, I should pick up my prescriptions as well. So I went to CVS too--it's already hot and muggy out. But I'm home now, and have been cooling off.
Time to do slow lists again.

It is Thursday. Hopefully this is the last brutal day of the week. I am feeling tired today. I got up to run an errand and it took all of my energy to stay upright. I make an egg sandwich and had a cup of coffee and took my meds. I am now horizontal until it is time to get my mom and visit my dad. I brought him a root beer float last night.
I am committed to take bonus grand child to her gymnastics class tonight. I think if I get up and move I will feel better. i have some things at the house for her. i need to remember to pop them in the car
tonight trash goes out
so much swirling in my head........

Good morning ohblondie!
Hopefully this is the last brutal day of the week.
Oh, you are lucky. We have to wait until next Wednesday for a day down to 85, and I'm guessing by the time next week comes around they will have raised the expected temperature for that day.
