I UN challenge myself to a 27 fling bookie because I can’t get in the doing zone if I’m in the counting/observing zone. Those are 2 different incompatible states in my brain. I can barely remember to count to 3 for WITs
I tidied everything on the big table. I lined the garbage bin. I got our dog food to defrost for later

TaDa!
Ever since I remade the bed to summer, I've been cold sleeping in it Washing the comforter I used to sleep on the couch, to be added to the bed Had a flea infestation conversation with my brother (we agree I need to accelerate my efforts-he reinforced my position, encouraging immediate action)
I have covered the 2 missing panes in the french doors (entry rm/liv rm) with broken down cardboard
for this afternoon: bring up boric acid from basement, and apply it on the entry stairs & upstairs - to be well vaccuumed prior to admitting the cats in the area dress presentable for public go buy product for use on cats and on first/main floor possibly-bathe the cats either with the shampoo or H2O2 solution

Weeding was my highest priority and I ignored it and spent hours online. So I stopped pretending I was going to get to it and did a few other things. I heard thunder a bit ago.
Made bed and had meds. PUPA 5 minutes. Made grocery list.
Clean bathroom sink. Clear sofa.Make my second choice for the potluck. Weed. Buy a sink plunger; buy more vinegar and baking soda. Try plunging the sinks.

Fleas and maggots and weeds/thunder, oh my! I’ve been there/similar and I’m grateful to not be right now.
I managed to enter my PIN number wrongly 3 times at the bank machine. I so rarely go i forgot what I changed it to. So yay I get an errand of going to the bank 😡
I walked a client dog and went grocery shopping. Bought lots of produce. Feel motivated to eat healthyish. Bought the insoles I needed. Took dogs for a pee. This is all in the wrong order. Saw a friend walking her dogs and they jumped on me and scratched me. I like them though. It’s nice when someone is excited to see you.
Going to walk these beasties properly after they digest dinner And I’ve had a a soft drink.
Projects for tonight:
1) Vintage cabinet a- Stuff On b- Stuff in c- Clean outside
2) Recycling 3)box on freezer

the day is winding down. It was too warmer than I like to go back outside.

todo tomorrow -dishes -cover newly weeded bed with mulch -weeding

TaDa!
well, not so much a TaDa as a report I was supposed to leave the house to buy flea preparations I've either been avoiding, or resting, take it how you want it
I emptied the DW
When I was doing the racks yesterday, found the the large enamel roaster bottom in a pile on the laundry room, complete with a dead german roach. So, it was NOT clean enough to use it to measure the rack width. I just guessed based on a bit wider than the lid. the gap I left in the rack wasn't enough. Also not enough room to clear the door frame to slide the beast out of the rack. I took the bottom shelf completely apart as I had to switch the larger enamel with the smaller enamel. Shoved the larger into the nether regions. got it all back together. I have the big rectangular one handy, it will do fine. Guess I could actually pass that beast on. dunno.
I'm not sure the set up is going to hold. the cookie sheets and 6 trays are at an angle, and thus put pressure on that 2nd rack. With only the smaller roasting pan on the left rack, I think it might slide. Hm, rework it again, with the cookie sheets and trays all the way to the right, instead of between the 2 racks. Nods.
I may round up a rubber dishwashing glove, and cut it apart for a "sticky" so those things don't slide. We'll see.
I actually did get dressed to leave, but I kept sitting back down & screen timing, and (small town) missed the window to go to the hardware store, closes mid afternoon sundays. Don't really want to go to walmart. shrug.
dried the comforter put a fresh (flea/fur protection) sheet on the top of the bed put the comforter on the bed, between the top quilt and thermal blanket dragged out a big extension cord set up the vaccum vaccumed the entry, and up the stairs
Now resting/cooling down/beveraging
