goldenthreads, WTG for getting yard care done and organized! It's very hot and humid here today, which saps my energy. ta-da: took compostables out ate some lunch caught up with dishes I had harvested my garlic a few days ago, but didn't have a good place for it to cure/dry, and it was rained on yesterday, and it doesn't seem like it will dry outside, so I brought it in and cleaned it up, trimmed the stalks, and placed it out on some newspaper. I might end up cleaning it some more and then chopping it up and freezing it. I don't know. My harvest was tiny! Brushed the cat. Her coat is so bad right now! The worst it has been since we've had her. Put a few odds and ends away. to-do: I am realizing that today I will need to take very small steps to make progress. I just don't have the energy for bigger projects right now. Hydrate, maybe make a smoothie? Sort more papers I have a bunch of genealogy related papers, some papers from my recent trip, and some receipts that need to be submitted to insurance.

missjean, I hope you don't get flooded! ta-da: Made a smoothie. Went through some financial papers that came recently and found some documentation about a very small pension that I am eligible for. It's weird, last year I found a very vague letter about this, but when I went to create am account and contacted the company, I kept getting error messages and support was of no help. Eventually I was told that the money in the account had been so small that I had been required to roll it over into another account years ago. I took their word for it, but apparently it wasn't true. The information I found today was much more complete and I was able to create an account, and then request a distribution. It's almost enough to pay our school real estate tax which is due in about 10 weeks. Had a discussion with DH about goals for decluttering. I will work along the west side of the house over the next few weeks. I had done some decluttering in these areas over the past few months, but there is still more to go. I did some decluttering in this area. to-do: Sort more papers Pick up and toss some trash from my bedroom ?

Had to take a nap again, but I was up at 5:30 and got a lot done this morning, so I felt good about it this time. In late weather news, the heat is finally hitting us here. We have three consecutive days of heat advisories (100+°F), including telling people to stay indoors if they can. Since I have tickets to an outdoor music event, I ordered a neck cooling scarf to soak and wear. Ordered neck scarf (will pick up tomorrow). Made bed and had meds. Figured out timing, sequence, and route for tomorrow's errands.
