Good morning!
Thanks for starting the weekday thread, lennon!
I was so happy last night to go outside and see that there was half an inch of rain in the yard bucket, that translates into full rain barrels! Plus it meant I didn't have to water this morning--it was so nice to go outside and just concentrate on weeding instead of moving that hose around. There were mosquitoes though, I have bites on my arms, and ankles, because I didn't put socks on. Tomorrow morning I'll put socks on. I cut up more branches too, I just have a few left and I will be finished with the last pruning batch. Tomorrow cans go out, so I'll do my best to finish them up, there's still room in the yard waste can.
I also looked at the Daturas last night--it was still totally light out, and I guess it has to be dark, because of the 6 or so blooms on the 2 more mature plants, only one was open--and I couldn't tell if it was all the way open, because it didn't open as much as say, a morning glory does. But it was white with a purple center, very pretty. I guess I'll have to go out after dark if I want to see open flowers and fireflies, but by then I'm already in bed.
I have to get to the library today or tomorrow, there's a chance of showers over the next couple of hours so I'll see how it looks at library opening time. I have lots of mail to get to the box too.
Have a good Monday, everyone!
Diane

Good morning TT, I'm so glad you had a fun camping trip!
I did go to the library, we had had about 2 minutes of drizzle earlier but it cleared up by the time I had to leave the house. It feels so humid and oppressive outside.
Now I have to do a little work.
TO DO:
Call decluttering client Fill out Walmart survey Restock water in fridge Delete 10 hard emails

I’d forgotten the acronym PUPA. Thanks twinkle, I will use it. Last night I took 2 Bags of clothes and puzzles to the donation place. And threw out a big bag of garbage and one of recycling. Declared amnesty on some items. And got my shoe and front closet situation under control, yay. And yet there is so much more. I always think there is more to be done than there actually is, or less when there is more. I walked a dog. I need to finish eating and floss and then walk 5 dogs. It’s hot out. Diane it makes sense if you want to see fireflies it would have to be after dark,  . |

I am one unmotivated member of the workforce today!! So much to do, a whirlwind, and that sends me into deer in the headlights mode. I have a not so great vendor and they have so many things to do, just sent them a long message outlining all the details and deadlines asking for a status. so far nothing!
yesterday was pleasant - we spent several hours at a beautiful pool. so with church and the afternoon at the pool, the day was pretty much pleasantly consumed. came home from pool and cooked a proper Sunday dinner, felt so good that I had the ingredients around.
my relative gave me a big box of litter she had on hand, her sweet cat died a year ago and it was tucked away. so when I got home I cleaned the litter. She buys the expensive stuff so I'll see how I like it.
after dinner, I drove puppy and myself to the area by the fountain - it was still so hot. DD did the dishes!
I started our walk in the cemetery. This is not a huge cemetery and is frequented by many dog walkers. I don't like to be in it alone as the days ends, not cuz it is a cemetery just cuz it feels kind of isolated. So when we arrived there were three cars there - mourners, two dog walkers, and a person running. We took a walk, then puppy went to fountain, then we walked in a nearby field, then another dip in fountain, and then back to cemetery. There was one car there that left, one walker who left, ad one jogger who left. poof! it was the bewitching hour, just us...then a doe and two very little fawns appeared! I kept us away from them, puppy was transfixed and pulled but she has grown out of the wild barking and attempts to breakfree. It was such a wonderful sight!
after that, back home, did not do much, read a bit, played a few games of fetch, sat out back, puppy was still high energy. She ended up in the upstairs hallway as we all settled for the night tossing one of my crocs wildly and then barked long and loud when we heard some neighbors talking.
finally we all were quite!
So today, showered, dressed, backyard poop patrol. packed lunches and off to work. I am just not into it, and I have so much to do! I have spent the morning mostly getting organized and keeping track of all the rapid work we were rushing out the door last week. Chaos is sending all these meeting invites, but she is off this afternoon, so peace should reign!

I realized in my bedroom that I could spend probably 2-3 days, literally, perfectly organizing my jewlerly. Instead, I threw away obvious trash, gathered it into ziplock bags. Lined up the ziplock bags, and will save the jewelry organization for another day.

That's a good idea TT, we can get caught up in minutiae and ignore the big things waiting to get done.
I stopped for lunch and a short reading break.

I spent the last half hour trying to find information online for my ex-neighbor, the one who asked me all the questions about applying for Medicare. Now he has questions about applying for the senior exemptions for real estate tax--and I had my own trouble figuring that out last year! I couldn't help much, but I remembered that the applications he's looking for are not available now so he has to wait until late winter or early spring.
I went downstairs to water the plants that are on the outside back porch, figuring they didn't get much of the rain last night because the upper porch is over them. I did a few things down there, but for some reason I just can't tackle the work room--I think it's the heat. It's not terrible in here, but as soon as I start exerting myself I feel so uncomfortable.
I think I need another reading break.
