i ran one errand and had a chat with a friend and her DD. her DD attends my college Alma Mater. i avoided Aldi.....
while out I stopped at the dollar store for one item which I could not find. I found myself loaded up with things, so I put everything back and only bought a cold beverage.
I stopped at a garage sale - cleaning out an old ladies house. I bought artificial flowers and shells and anything we could use for crafts at the ALF. I will drop those off today or tomorrow
I will admit I came home and made half a tuna sandwich and I am laying on my bed in front of the fans......

Friday! and summer! we have broken through the intense heat wave, still very hot, but not like it was. ohblondie you are so busy and diligent! Do you think you and your DH will go on a vacation to celebrate your retirement. And little grand baby oh blondie is due soon too! I have just come through a challenging week. Two big deal projects were done this week. One is a rare in career project. One is a once a year project. Both take so much time and thought. I am sooooo glad they are done. I also had several smaller things due. Got them done! so it was a very productive work week. I had a work event last night; it was fun; it was a professional event so I ran into some former colleagues from past job. I brought DD to show her some real world work stuff and it was our dinner too so phew as I am not a big cooker esp in extreme heat wave. work wise, a friend retired today. I will miss her vibrant presence. Had a birthday dinner out on Weds night, was also fun Now I am home and I need to vaccuum very much. Puppy (who I dropped off at daycare this morning) is a big shedder. With my knee, I am behind on vac so I must do. Also just remembered that I left a load of laundry in wash, ugh, will need to rewash! I have been kind of scattered this week. I have two knee support things. I wanted to wear the less clunky one but I could not find it! I looked all over, my house is not such that it would get that lost. So I wore the other and at night I found the preferred knee thingee in my shoe bin!! I also put together an outfit yesterday and wanted this certain top. I knew I had just seen the top and at the time thought odd wonder how it ended up here BUT I left it there. So yesterday morning, I was looking in my closet, dresser, and down by laundry. found it tucked away on the ironing board under a pile of folded towels. Why did I not just put it away properly when I found it there in the first place. And third, after the birthday dinner, I left my make up bag in my sister's car. Was getting ready for work the next morning and looking all over for it -then realized where it must be. So on the way to the office I stopped and bought some new make up. It won't go to waste. I am home from work and done for the day. I am going to vacuum and deal with that forgotten laundry. oh yesterday Chaos sent an email to the team on office rules and reinforced no one can work from home permanently! |

Good afternoon bree, enjoy your weekend after that challenging work week!
I'm starting to feel really sleepy, I've had pretty good sleep over the last 3 days so maybe just the heat. I'm getting tired of being in this one room, I could go downstairs since it's okay temperature wise, but my computer and tv and all the stuff that I spend time on are upstairs. I will do one more list with some challenge goals in it, and then maybe I'll go downstairs for a reading break. It's currently 93 and feels like 97 so I'm not going to go to the yard until this evening, if at all.
Next:
10 minutes on fridge 10 minutes on old paper Prepare a check to mail in for deposit Delete 10 hard emails

I did go downstairs for a reading break, and almost fell asleep. Then I decided to put a little table together, that I might substitute for one upstairs, or else, for one downstairs. It took about 45 minutes, I used my cordless drill, what a difference. I have the measurements, now I have to measure up here to see if it will work upstairs.
I just feel so sluggish--it's too many days in a row of heat. Last evening's cool down was great but as soon as the sun came up it was horrible again and it's taking a toll on me. Tomorrow will be even hotter, then 2 days between 85 and 88, if the forecast will be believed. Then right back up again.
I will probably have dinner soon and go downstairs early.

Hope the weather gets a bit more bearable soon for everyone! It was very muggy and hints of stormy here today, likely not as hot as others have it but it's been uncomfortable enough that I'm extra sympathetic.
Mum visited today as we went out for dinner and to the theatre. She made comments about making sure my base boards were clean for the painter coming next week. I made her go check my freshly cleaned baseboards to cut off her insinuations so it was fun to get one over on her entrusting expectations.
Done:
Load of laundry
Folded and bagged clean laundry
Took clean laundry upstairs
Changed towels bathroom
Changed towels kitchen
Cleaned downstairs bathroom sink
Bleached downstairs toilet
