Cat and music ✅✅
I need to wash my hair.
what was on list? I may edit this.
Ah yes. Not doing grocery shopping and coins and laundry because it’s raining. Plant stuff and right side of living room floor remains.
Poor dog is bored. But she doesn’t Like rain and seems to not be able to play with toys very much.
If I moved the coffee table would that be helpful or make more Work appear?

Good morning!
Last night was extremely noisy, even more than I remember in the prior years here--even people on my block had very noisy firecrackers. I'm hoping this means that people used most of their fireworks last night and tonight will be quieter--maybe some people will have to go back to work tomorrow morning, unless they took a long weekend. Or, maybe not. I didn't fall asleep until about midnight, it was just too noisy.
I went out to the yard for over an hour this morning, it is extremely humid again, but I know I won't want to go out there this evening, especially if there are more fireworks on my block. I watered by letting the hose soak areas, I didn't even finish one side of the inner yard during that time. I weeded and cut branches in between moving the hose.
Today will be near 90 and humid again, so I'll turn my window air conditioner down again try to stay comfortable upstairs.
I hope those of you that have a day off get some rest!

Happy Fourth of July to the Americans on board!
I am happy to be off work! yesterday was pretty hectic. we are trying to wrap up a big project and we do not have a good vendor. So lots of extra work for me! and late, missed deadlines. ugh ugh ugh. I told Chaos we should meet with owner and also look to end partnership next year.
I worked at home yesterday morning, and before I went to office I vac'd living room furniture and floor, and the upstairs hallway. cleaned bathroom sink and mirror. did two loads of laundry and put it away.
I was able to stop at grocery store on the way home and bought a lot of stuff, I splurged a bit for some prepared food. Since I had been home with puppy all morning, I had time to shop w out puppy worries. I put it all away, did some food purging.
DD spent the day at the beach and then a pool and hot tub! she walked puppy for me which was nice. we went late due to so much heat!
today I am lollygagging! fed animals. lounging around. I will head to a picnic...it is about 1.5 hours away and I will need to factor in puppy time so I can't stay a really long time. DD is going off with her friend to their cottage. I have mixed feelings about the picnic but I don't want to be alone so I'll go!
I must clean cat litter, get ready and head out...unless I change my mind! I have a relative close to home who has a pool and i was hoping for an invite from them l o l

Walmart charge was okay, I forgot I ordered something to be shipped as well as my delivery orders. What made it look weird was that the item plus tax came to exactly $15, which looked like some kind of service charge.
Next:
10 minutes on plant room cleaning Make some book notes Go through mail and put bills on calendar Delete 10 hard emails

I did not finish my last list--my shopping friend called again--this time we talked almost 2 hours.
Now I'm tired and my hands are numb from holding the phone that long.
I will finish up the list and then probably have an early dinner.

I finished my list and then got really exhausted so my dinner was hummus with low-salt Triscuits--delicious!
Now I will start getting ready for bed. Good night everyone, see you in the morning!

Everyone has gone to bed. I woke up late and groggy. Walked a few dogs, it was very hot and humid (for here). Went early to concert out in the sticks. GPS took us on stupid route to avoid toll roads. A guy whizzed past us in a vintage British convertible with the steering wheel on the wrong side- we are convinced he was one of the cello players at the concert!
Oh no the cat! Will go now. Didn’t manage to get groceries but got milk and breakfast for tomorrow.
Lots of work tomorrow. We will see about house stuff. Thanks for being here everyone

I am going to have to go into BEAST MODE today. I have been unmotivated and crippled by depression most of the week. Yesterday, I didn’t do a single thing besides take my meds. Today, I have a HUGE, long list and I made myself get up at 6 a.m.. I have been staying up way too late and sleeping in every day and I know that isn’t good for me. Need to reset the body clock. Anyway …
DONE
Found two checks in my car! Yayyyyy! Cleaned out passenger seat of car Couldn’t find car registration - applied for duplicate copy online - printed temporary one Couldn’t find car insurance card - attempted to reprint and my online account is locked,, called customer care and they aren’t open yet, so I texted husband and told him we are taking his truck this weekend. I can’t get my car inspected today without that card. And if I am not at the car inspection first thing in the morning, I can’t get in. It will have to wait until next week Returned friends text Finished writing my to do list for today

Good morning TT! Sounds like you have another trip planned this weekend? Good luck with your to-do list!
I was out in the yard early, it was still okay weather-wise, but the sun is now pushing through the clouds so it will warm up. Today and tomorrow will be in the lower 80s, then goes up to upper 80s for the next several days. Today I saw my first sleeping bee of the summer--it was on a coneflower. I definitely need more coneflowers in my yard next year. I had previously seen 2 bees that looked like they were waking up, but this was the first one deep in slumber.
Last night was noisy again, a bit less noisy than the prior night, but it still interrupted my sleep.
My Walmart order comes today between 8 and 10, I hope I'm on the earlier side of that.
Today I would like to work on some challenge goals, do a little cleaning, and at least start on some overdue emails/letters owed to friends. I will also need to do one more yard session because today I have to put the mosquito dunk things into the buckets.
Puppybox, I don't know how people can drive in a country with the sides switched from what they are used to, I would think they would have to forget at some point and get into an accident. Of course, I'm not a driver, maybe it's easier than I'm imagining to switch over like that.
